Discounts

Offering discounts can be a marketing strategy that you use to drive sales in your Shopify store. To offer discounts, you can create discount codes or set up automatic discounts, or you can alternatively set sale prices for individual products.

You can create codes for a monetary value discount, a percentage discount, a buy X get Y discount, or a free shipping discount. Customers can enter discount codes online at checkout, or in person if you're using Shopify POS.

You can also create other types of discount by using a third-party app from the Shopify App Store. Some third-party apps let you manage discounts directly in your Shopify admin, or you might need to create your discounts in the app's settings.

If your store is on the Shopify Plus plan, then you can create your own custom discounts app.

When you offer a discount on an order, the discount is applied to the subtotal of the order before taxes, and then any applicable tax is applied afterwards.

You can update and manage existing discounts from the Discounts page in your Shopify admin. Before you update a discount, check if another staff member might also be making changes to the same discount.
