How to Set Up Automatic Discounts in Shopify

Automatic discounts apply at checkout without the customer entering a code — perfect for site-wide sales, spend thresholds and bundle deals. They reduce friction because there is no code to remember or mistype.

When to use them

• Storewide or collection sales.
• Tiered spend rewards ("spend $100, get 15% off").
• Buy-more-save-more and bundle offers.
• First-order or loyalty incentives.

When you need custom logic

Shopify's built-in automatic discounts cover common cases, but complex rules — like "buy 3 from collection A, get the cheapest free" or stacking multiple offers on one product — usually need Shopify Functions. Getting this right avoids over-discounting and checkout confusion.

Protect your margins

Discounts drive urgency, but careless rules erode profit. Set clear conditions, test edge cases, and monitor results. Experts Cabin builds custom automatic-discount Functions tailored to your promotions — so your offers convert without quietly eating your margins.
