Discounts in your online store follow specific rules and exceptions to ensure fair pricing and prevent excessive stacking. Here's what you need to know about managing them effectively:

Discount Basics:

  • Discounts apply to order subtotals only (not taxes or shipping)
  • Cannot exceed the order subtotal
  • Expired discounts will show an error message
  • Limited to 100 automatic trigger discounts

Combining Discounts:

  • Can combine: Different category discounts
  • Cannot combine: Same item discounts
  • Fixed amount discounts take priority over percentage discounts
  • Free shipping discounts always apply
  • Single items cannot have multiple discounts

Making Edits:

Via Computer:

  • Access Discounts panel
  • Click desired discount
  • Modify name, dates, codes, limits, and applicable items
  • Delete option available at bottom

Via App:

  • Open Commerce tab
  • Tap Discounts panel
  • Select discount to edit
  • Update details and tap Done
  • Delete via scroll-down or [...] menu

Tracking Usage:

  • View usage counts in Discounts panel
  • Subscription purchases count as single use
  • Invalid discounts can be edited and reactivated

Troubleshooting Tips:

  • Verify order eligibility
  • Check for duplicate codes
  • Confirm shipping method selection
  • Try deleting and recreating discount
  • Contact support if issues persist

Gift cards can be used alongside any discount promotion.

For subscription items, original discount terms apply to all future payments, regardless of later edits.

Note: Editing discount codes doesn't automatically update existing campaign materials.
