Apply discount together with free shipping

Tehreem

Hi,

 

Is there a way I can apply a fixed discount (or percentage) together with free shipping? Or any workaround?

 

Thanks

This is an accepted solution.

Hey everyone,

 

Good news! Discount Combinations are here. You can now combine discount codes (manual or automatic) and have multiple automatic discounts running at the same time. Check out our announcement to learn more!

 

This also works with the newly released option to create automatic free shipping discount feature we launched September 13. 

 

If you have questions about Discount Combinations then please create a new post in the Shopify Discussions board. If you need account specific help with your discounts, then please contact Shopify Support directly.

 

Thank you!

Hi Peter,

Can Shopify update on the present request?

We seem to be part of the big community of Shopify users who are interested to add a flat discount (% or amount) to a FREE delivery feature. 

Can we expect any change in the coming weeks or months?

Thanks for your return,

Normann for WHAT'sIN

Put down another vote from me.

 

We occasionally do sponsorship packages and other giveaways. Rather than going back and forth with the person, getting all of their information, address, size/color preferences, it's much easier have them place the order for the free stuff themselves. But, of course, the shipping should also be free and there isn't a clean way to do this. 😞

@Trevor  How many votes are we at, and how many does it take to get into the product development cycle?

 

All votes related to stacking multiple discounts, and free shipping plus discounts.

 

Thank you!

Yes, can we please get a more concrete update on when this will be available and/or if it's even being worked on? We continue to run into issues where the discount we give to potential new customers puts them just below our free shipping threshold, therefore negating the discount value. We started asking for this feature 6 months ago... and now others are chiming in almost daily asking for the same.

HAHAHHAHHAAHAH!

Great question and I’ll make a prediction on how it will be answered. One of the mods will reply, probably Peter if he hasn’t gotten smart and quit. This mod will word dribble on and on confusingly like Trump in a press conference about how they can’t give out that top secret information or the scale they use to judge it but rest assured you little Lilliputian your vote really does count and in the end you will be more confused and frustrated than at the beginning - it’s the Shopify pump and dump the clients plan, don’t take it personally, you really don’t matter.

Hi Peter, what’s up!

Hah! Yes @BKMc I know that crazed 45* press conference all too well sadly. However I don’t think Shopify is trying to pump and dump or mislead. I feel they do sincerely care about their customers...but I can also see how embedded the “discount” is across the API. Not super easy to solve but would be a major merchant win if they could speed the solution up, and give a time table.

Hey, there! 

Peter here from Shopify Support!

Natively, it's not currently possible to stack discount codes to offer both free shipping and discounted products. That said, I was able to find an existing feature request to have this added to your platform from other store owners who've requested the same thing. I've gone ahead and added your vote to this request to show our developers there is further interest in getting this added. Should this be something we're able to launch, then we'll make an announcement on our announcement page to keep everyone in the loop! 

In terms of a workaround, you could offer a free shipping rate, while still offering a discount code at the checkout which would give the best of both worlds. That said, the shipping rate can only be set per country, and not per product which does throw a wrench into things if you're hoping to limit free shipping to a specific product/collection. 

Let me know if you have any other questions!

All the best, 

Peter

Any updates on this issue?  It would be great to offer a discount AND free shipping to customers.

Hi Peter,

 

Can you put us on the vote as well? We have many dealer/builder accounts buying from us including D2C and our dealer/builder's use shipping accounts and charging them for shipping is redundant and frustrating.

 

Thanks!

This request seems to be basic functionality that most ECOM platforms come with out of the gate. Why is this so difficult to bring to market?

Does it have to be an app? Feels like 80% of our store runs on required,  installed apps with functionality that comes inherent in other platforms.

9 bucks here, 5 bucks there, 29 for this, 15 for that...it starts to feel like a nickel and dime situation that Shopify profits from.

 

Stacking discounts, adding free shipping and any combination them is old school stuff that should just be there when you sign up.

 

Please take this request seriously as it is basic eCommerce functionality that has been around for over 15 years.

I would like my vote counted too. I use a promo code for local orders to enter for free shipping based on "pick up"...not being able to stack a discount and free shipping code means I can't service my local customers with the savings or customer service I would like.

It amazes me that the Shopify community is accepting this delay in adding a standard function in eCommerce to this service. This is standard on Magento and I'm willing to bet other platforms as well. 2 years and still not added is ridiculous.

 

What does your product development team consider a necessary feature to be added as standard to the platform if not the ability to stack discounts and specify conditions under which the discounts apply, layered navigation, and bundle products.

 

With my rant completed, I did manage to find an acceptable app that does what is needed but it's expensive in the long run

Hi Peter 

This request for discount and free shipping seems such a requirement that people have been asking for months. 

We also require this. 

Why has shopify not actioned this request yet?

Thank you

I would also like to add my vote for this improvement. 

We have been offering free shipping in our areas in response to recent events.  We are also organizing marketing campaigns and partnerships with outlets where we communicate a discount code.  Customers are dropping carts because they are confused why they cannot have both.

Count me in for a vote for this feature as well. Although seeing the hundreds of comments in this feed in support of this feature it doesn't look like we are going to get it after years of requests for it. what  a pain in the butt!

I also need this. This might be the determining factor on whether I stick with squarespace or migrate to Shopify. I’ve created my account and still in the discuss period, but sad to see that there is no resolution for this.

I need this as an option... strange that it isn't really, especially after 2 years of requests for it... surely it wouldn't take too much back-ground work to allow both discounts.

Hey everyone,

 

Since we are talking about free shipping, I was looking for some articles about expanding in Latin America - and especially Argentina - (since I am considering that as an option to my business) - and I found some great news about a logistics upgrade in their postal service that might be useful for you as well:

@forkandmelon 

 

Thank you for taking the time to explain how this would benefit your business, and how by not having it negatively affects your business. I've gotten this feedback added to the existing feature request to further add to use cases for why this should be added. Using a third-party app such as Upsell may be your best route here given that you've tried all viable workarounds that exist natively within the platform. 

 

@KossmanDesigns @areliasdream 

 

I hear what you're saying, and believe me, this is a feature that I've wanted to be added to the platform for some time. Regretfully, the "why" to why we don't have it isn't something I have access to, however, I do know that these type of features aren't as easy to implement as one would expect. As you can imagine, we receive hundreds of different requests, which require a lot of man-hours to review to fully understand what would be required to get these type of features launched. As we grow, we are able to deploy more man hours to these projects to help make them a reality, so while we haven't yet gotten this added, I can say that our teams are reviewing this further.
