Automatic discounts

Automatic discounts are discounts that are automatically applied in the cart and at checkout when eligibility conditions are met. They are commonly used in the following ways:

• For site-wide sales
• For promotions for specific collections
• For bulk purchases

Automatic discounts can help simplify your checkout and encourage higher conversion rates and order values.

You can create amount off, free shipping, buy X get Y, or app-based automatic discounts. You can have a maximum of 25 active automatic discounts. This total includes app-based discounts.

For an automatic discount to apply correctly, your customers need to add all eligible items to their cart. This includes the items that they need to buy to qualify for the discount, as well as any items that they get as part of a promotion. Your customers also need to be eligible for the automatic discount.

Note

Automatic discounts created in the Shopify admin don't apply to the post-purchase page at checkout.

Automatic discounts and scripts

If you use Shopify Scripts, then automatic discounts run after scripts and use the updated line item prices from the scripts. This means that automatic discounts calculate based on the prices after any script discounts have been applied, not the original product prices.
