Automatic discounts are applied at checkout without the customer typing a code. They suit site-wide sales, spend thresholds and bundle deals, and they reduce friction because there's nothing to remember or mistype.
When to use them
- Storewide or collection-level 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 the common cases. More complex rules — such as "buy three from collection A and the cheapest is free", or stacking several offers on one product — usually call for Shopify Functions. Getting this right prevents over-discounting and confusion at checkout.
Protect your margins
Discounts create urgency, but careless rules quietly erode profit. Set clear conditions, test edge cases and keep an eye on the results.
