Product discount

“Apply automatic discounts to products based on conditions.” A product discount lowers the price of cart lines. It has four discount types: Simple, Volume, Bundle and Buy X Get Y.

Tip Want the discount shown on your store too, with widgets like volume tiers or a bundle card? Start from Promotions instead. A promotion makes the same kind of discount rule for you.

Before you start

• Decide if shoppers get the discount automatically, or must enter a code. You can’t change this after you save.
• Pick the products: specific products, collections, variants, tags, product types or SKUs.

Set it up

1. Open Rules and click Create rule.

   

2. Under Discount, find Product discount and click Select.

   

3. Name the discount and pick the Method.

   Choose Automatic discount or Discount code. For a code, type it or click Generate random code. Or click Start from a use case to fill in the whole form. See Start from a use case.

   

4. Pick a rule set and add your conditions.

   In Rule sets, pick the set with the conditions you need. Then, under When at checkout, use Always for every cart, or a condition such as Customer tags. See Conditions, groups and blocks.

   

5. In Discount Configuration, pick a Discount type and set it up.

   Choose Simple, Volume, Bundle or Buy X Get Y. The fields for each type are below in Settings. Then set the side cards: Combinations, Discount strategy and, if needed, Active dates.

   

6. Save it as a draft, test it, then activate it.

   In the Status card, choose Draft and save. Then go to checkout on your store and enter the test email from the rule’s Status card. Only this email sees a draft rule. Add matching products. For a code discount, enter the code too.

   

   When it works, choose Activate in the Status card and save.

   Manage the status here in the app. Status changes made in the Shopify admin are not reflected in AndOr.

Volume

“Tiered by quantity or spend.” For example 10% off 3 items, 15% off 6 items.

• Tier basis: Quantity of items, or Subtotal amount.
• Discount based on: All products (combined), Product or Variant. With All products, the combined total of all selected items picks one tier. With Product or Variant, each one picks its own tier.
• Exclude products already on sale: skips items whose compare-at price is higher than their price.
• Tiers: each has a Minimum threshold and a Tier discount. Use Add tier for more.

Bundle

“Items bought together.” Add Bundle groups with Add group. Each group has a Group name (optional), Group items and Items required from this group. Then set the Bundle discount.

Full bundle only: when on, only the items that make a full bundle get the discount. When off, every matching item gets it once a full bundle is in the cart.
