Setting up Automatic Discount Rules in Shopify

Shopify provides a convenient way to create automatic discount rules for your store, whether it's for a specific product or a set of rules. In this article, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of creating these discounts within the Shopify platform.

Accessing the Discounts Menu

To begin, navigate to your Shopify dashboard and locate the "Discounts" option in the left-hand side menu. Clicking on this option will open up the discount section where you can configure automatic discount rules.

Creating a Product Discount

One type of automatic discount rule you can set up is a product discount. This allows customers to receive a percentage off or a discount on a specific product without needing a coupon code. To create a product discount, follow these steps:

1. Click on the "Create Discount" button located in the top-right corner of the discounts menu.
2. Select the "Automatic Discounts" option.
3. Enter a name for the discount, such as "Black Friday Cyber Monday 15% Off."
4. Specify whether the discount should apply to specific collections or products.
5. Set any additional conditions, such as a minimum purchase requirement or a minimum quantity of items.
6. Choose whether the discount can be combined with other product discounts or shipping discounts.
7. Set the activation and expiration date for the discount, or leave it running indefinitely.

Creating a product discount ensures that customers automatically receive the discount without the need for manual input.

Creating a Buy X Get Y Discount

Another type of automatic discount rule is the "Buy X Get Y" discount. This allows customers to receive a percentage off or a free product when they meet certain criteria. To create a "Buy X Get Y" discount, follow these steps:

1. Click on the "Create Discount" button in the discounts menu.
2. Select the "Buy X Get Y" option.
3. Provide a name for the discount, such as "Buy Two, Get One Free."
4. Define the conditions for the discount, such as the minimum quantity of items required for the discount to apply.
5. Choose whether the discount should give a percentage off or a completely free product.
6. Specify if the discount can be combined with other discounts.
7. Set the activation and expiration date for the discount, or leave it running indefinitely.

By following these steps, you can easily create a "Buy X Get Y" discount for your customers, incentivizing them to make purchases.
