All things Shopify and commerce
Hi!
I am looking to offer a customer incentive in my order forms. What I mean by this is, when a customer checks off a certain box/option while they're placing their order, I would like for there to be a specific amount subtracted from the total.
So for example, if a customer's total is $20, and they check off a box in their order form that gives them a discount, I would like for total to automatically be discounted when they take this action. Therefore, if by checking the box, we promise them a $5 discount, then the total would just automatically become $15 when they click checkout.
If I can get some help on how I can incorporate this for my store, that would be great! 🙂
Hi, @paintdit!
I'm Miles from the Social Care team at Shopify. Thanks for reaching out. You've got a very interesting idea there, that's for sure. I'd love to understand a bit more about this in order to help you out, but for now, I'll work to the assumption that you'd like all customers to receive this discount.
I recommend the use of a discount code or automatic discounts. Discounts are a great incentive for customers and have been proven to help boost your sales. Shopify offers a built-in discount service where you can create discount codes and automatic discounts. Based on your needs, I recommend using the automatic discount option. With automated discounts, you can create a percentage, fixed amount, or buy X get Y automatic discounts. When setting these up, you can choose certain items, collections or the whole store to apply the discount.
To set up a discount, follow these steps:
To help you further, I recommend checking out Shopify Compass. Shopify Compass provides you with webinars and courses on things like store design, marketing and more. It's 100% free for everyone and new content is being added all the time. One course in particular I would suggest starting with is our 5 ways you can use discounts to increase sales.
If you have any questions, please let me know!

Hi Miles, thanks for your reply and the info you provided!
So I think that's where the confusion is, I don't necessarily want the discount to be provided through a code like "GET10OFF" OR "SALE15". It's more so to do with when the customer is filling out their options when placing an order. I want the order form to have a box where the customer can click on it and from there, they would get an automatic discount at the end of their purchase, no code required.
So basically, the discount would automatically be subtracted from the total without having to input anymore info, just by checking a box on the order form.
Hope this helps in clarifying what I am trying to do!

Hi, @paintdit!
Thanks for getting back to me to clarify your needs. At the moment, I don't know of a way to implement exactly what you're looking to do, but I do want to clarify what automated discounts are.
Automated discounts aren't required to use codes. They are applied automatically at the checkout and can be labelled anything you want. I'll walk you through an example of how this could look and be implemented below.
The only caveat to this is that customer would not be able to choose a tick box as you suggested. To resolve this, you might wish to add a variant to each product you'd like discounted to enable the automated discount.
To do this follow these steps:
If you choose to use this method, here's an example of how the automated discount could be set up.
I've also made this video which will show you what it would look like from a customer viewpoint.
If you have any questions or need anything clarified, please let me know.
