Select one of the existing discount offers and click Save to confirm the changes. The discount will be applied to the product recommendations in real time on the preview window



Click Create discount to create a new one. On the popup window fill in the title and discount value and click Create. You can choose between two types of discount offers to apply to your checkout product recommendations.



A. Percentage off: The price of the product is reduced by a chosen percentage

Example: If a product costs $100, 20% off of that product would mean subtracting 20% from the original price.

i.e., $100*20% = 100*0.20 = $20

$100-$20 = $80

B. Fixed amount: the price of the product is reduced by a chosen amount

Example: If a product costs $100, $20 off of that product would mean subtracting $20 from the original price.

i.e., $100-$20 = $80

Discount offers limitations on Shopify



The Discount functionality in the Checkout extension and Upsell widget is implemented through the Shopify Function API. Shopify imposes the following limitations:

Discount quantity limit: A third-party app can create up to 5 discounts, and all third-party apps combined can create a maximum of 25 discounts. If you encounter a prompt indicating that you have exceeded the discount quantity limit, please delete any excess discounts in either the Personalization admin or the Shopify admin’s discount section.



Discount combination: Most store discounts can be combined with product, order, and shipping discounts. However, some older stores may only allow stacking up to certain levels. When creating discounts, AfterShip Personalization follows the priority of discounts in this order: shipping > product > order to enable as many discounts to stack as possible.

Discounts are shared resources across different widgets on AfterShip Personalization. This means that if one widget modifies a discount offer that is referenced by another widget, the discount used by the other widget will also be modified.
