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!

I am tired of defending shopify with my customers (Read me as developer). They say Coupon code discount with free shipping and multiple discount codes is a basic feature.
at least 2 of them asking me to migrate back to to WP+WOO due to lack of these features.

any one can suggest any APP who do this without pain?

Do we know when this feature will come to Shopify and why is so difficult to add a fixed discount code or shipping to the group of users? Everyone wants it, so please add it.

This is not rocket science that the community asking. We want a promo code so that customers or partners can order a sample/product for free. And free does not mean to pay for shipping....

I find it so strange that it is not possible to offer a customer 30% off and also free shipping.

It seems so basic.

Please add me to the list of votes !

I'm really surprised this feature is still not available 😞

Why can't you activate at least the possibility to use 2 codes at the same time. Please add me to to your vote list as well. I'm pretty sure thousands of people would be intersted to use this feature as it seems totally normal to offer a discount + free shipping...

I also need to combine free shipping with a discount code. This is to sell to our employees. We want them to be able to order online and pick up the merch from the office. No need for shipping and we want to give them a % discount on the products.

I hope so! However, it doesn't make sense for your answer to be labeled as an accepted solution until the feature is rolled out. Right?

Great question! As this is a 16-page thread, accepting the most up-to-date information as a solution saves other viewers time as it highlights the update on the first page. We do this as best practice for feature requests to create a better user experience.

This is a feature I need for my business asap. Getting those first sales is very important and I need to offer free shipping along with a discount code together.


It is also not accurate to say this issue has been solved when it has not yet.

Has this feature been released yet? I was in a chat last night for 3 hours and nobody could figure it out. I'm currently on a call with support (40 min so far) and they seem to not know how to approach? If this cant be done, what would be the closest work around?

 

Thank you

Honestly I don't know what it depends on, it is just there as an option, when creating discount. Maybe you can find valuable info here: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/discounts/combining-discounts

Womp, womp, womp... not everyone has it yet though.  Even though I've been following this thread for two years, and I'm on Shopify Plus I still don't have this.  Support says you can't be using the "Script Editor" (which I'm not) AND you can't have a customized checkout (which I do).  If you have a customized checkout, you'll need to request this be added on a test store and then, after testing, they'll maybe allow you to add it into your store. 

Trevor, please add caveats like this into you announcements, it'll save us all a lot of time, emotion, and effort. 

 

These caveats also need to be added to the main announcement and they definitely need to be on the help page.

 

My epic disappointment after waiting for 2 years to find out I still can't have it yet sucks.

The solution isn't quite right. While it's very helpful that you've given us the ability to stack coupons, what you've done (if I understand correctly) is allow the customer to enter multiple coupon codes on a single order (thus, stack them). What we really need is the ability to offer a coupon that applies a discount AND gives free shipping — like most retailers can do. One coupon code so the customer doesn't have to perform a juggling act.

Exactly. You hit it right on the nose., why is it so complicated? Lol

Right. Basic rule of web design. Don’t make the user work so hard. They shouldn’t have to remember two codes to make one offer possible.

This feature is not yet available in my Shopify admin. Is this something that needs to be activated for individual merchants?

Hi Trevor,
I have managed to enable discount combinations using 2 codes but since this is not very user friendly (I made several tests and the participants failed to comprehend that they needed to add the codes separately) I was wondering if you could explain how to have 1 discount code that combines discount amount and free shipping. Please advice asap!

Hi Trevor,

 

This isn't an acceptable solution. Everyone just wants one discount code that lets you add in free shipping. 10% off plus free shipping. Why is it so hard.

joshkirk

Sadly, this still doesn't sit well with me, I see that you can combine Discount Codes now, cool and about time, but I really don't want my customers to have to enter in 2 different codes to get Free Shipping on a Free Product... So, if you would kindly make it so I use 1 Discount Code that both discounts  an amount off, but also in the same code, offer Discounted Shipping, like 100% making it free, that is what we want! I know, I know, I can send them a link to auto add the code, and then they can manually add the other code, but that doesn't work for my use case. I need 1 code, with amount off and free shipping!

Tons of new features just dropped including a major downgrade of the admin home page.  But alas, we still have no ability to combine discounts.  What Shopify offers is called stacking, not combining.  Combining means 1 code.  Stacking means multiple codes.  Asking customers to enter multiple codes at checkout is a customer service nightmare we learned not to do back '98.

PaulNewton

@CrazyJoe Can you share what industry your in?

Do you have any references for systems that specifically call this stacking, and-or why they do/don't say that and not say combine, etc .

 

Naming things is hard , always like seeing clarification of terms because verbiage like this always varies.

 

I'd see using one code for multiple discounts as stacking because of the single-code outcome not combining. Seems to depend on which step in the process you focus on.

Stackable

Campaign: Free-shipping
+ Campaign: 5% off order
_________________
= Code: SummerSale

 

Combinable

Code: FREESHIP + Code: Sale5 = Campaign:Free-shipping + Campaign: 5% off order

Ok, I sit corrected.  Unfortunately this still does not fix the issue at hand; requiring customers to use multiple coupon codes is worst practice, and confusing.

Hi all and @Tehreem , 

Automatic free shipping discounts are now an option.

https://changelog.shopify.com/posts/new-automatic-free-shipping-discount 

https://community.shopify.com/c/payments-shipping-and/new-feature-automatic-free-shipping-discount-i... 

 

I think this is the one of the bigger forum threads for a broad feature set, and an older one going on 5 years,  that now has native support covering a large amount of the use cases that just need the basics:combinable discounts + automatic free shipping discount.

For limitations see thread linked above, for example if needing customer tags to be a criteria an app will still be needed.

 

Hi @Trevor if OP for this old thread isn't around , might want to  edit your original solution post to clarify the new automatic free shipping feature is out and is combinable.
