Automatic discounts
Offers that apply in the cart without a code: bulk quantity discounts, buy X get Y free, and percent or fixed sale prices, with optional dates.
Automatic discounts are offers the cart applies by itself, without a code. The buyer sees the lower price and does not have to remember anything. The tool is off for a new website: switch it on in Tools (the card is called Automatic discounts).
Before you start#
- The tool is on. Its page opens under Marketing > Automatic discounts.
- You know the products or category the offer is for.
The three kinds#
| Kind | How it works | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Bulk quantity discount | Buy more, pay less. You set tiers; each tier must rise in both Min quantity and Percent off. It can cover one product, one category or anything in the store | 3+ pieces: 5% off, 6+ pieces: 10% off |
| Buy X get Y free | For one product: every X bought gives Y more free | Buy 2 get 1 free |
| Percent off (sale) or Fixed amount off each item (sale) | A sale price on one product or on every product in a category. Percent is 1 to 90 | 15% off all T-shirts |
Every discount can have Starts and Ends dates (optional) and an Active switch. The Name (for you) is shown only to you.

Discounts and coupons together#
Common problems#
My discount does not show
Check that it is Active, inside its dates, and that the product or category matches. The tier quantities must rise together with the percent.
Can I use it on a landing page?
Automatic discounts are applied by the normal cart. A landing page is a one-product order page with its own form; check the price in your test order before you advertise.
I want to stop it
Switch Active off to pause it, or Archive it to stop it for good.
