Creating an automatic discount on a collection

[jarriej]

I need to create an automatic discount on a specific collection that allows me to take $1 off each item once they select 2 items.  For instance, Buy 1 item at $15 or 2 items for $28.  This needs to work on 2,4,6,8 or 10 items.  I have tried the x,y discount option and have not been able to make it work.

If someone purchases 2 $15 items from the specific collection their price will be $28 instead of $30.  This also should apply if they purchase 4 $15 items their price will be $56 instead of $60.

Hi there, @jarriej! Thanks for taking the time to reach out to the Shopify Community Forums today with your question around automatic discounts! My name is Imogen. It's good to meet you!

I did some testing in my own store and was able to achieve this desired automatic discount functionality! I'll outline the steps I took below so you can replicate them for yourself and see if they do the trick for you:

• First, login to your Admin and select 'Discounts' from the left hand menu
• On the screen that loads, select 'create discount'.
• On the pop-up window that loads, select the 'Amount off products' option

• From there, the discount creation screen will appear
• Under 'Method', select 'Automatic discount'
• In the 'discount value' box, select 'fixed amount' and set it to $1.00
• Under 'Applies to', select 'specific collections' and then select 'browse' to find the collection you want this discount to apply to
• Uncheck the 'only apply discount once per order' box
• In the 'Minimum purchase requirements box', set the option to 'minimum quantity of items' and set that value to '2'
• Evaluate the other settings on the page to make sure they're set up as desired and then select 'Save' at the bottom of the page. This should do the trick!

Please let me know if you run into any issues using the steps I've outlined above!

This worked, however it does take the $1 off the 3rd product in cart.  So it should be $28 for the two products and $15 for the third. If there isn't a work around I'm ok with that:).  I really appreciate your help!

Hi @jarriej , thank you for posting here!

Based on your description, your primary requirement for a volume discount solution on Shopify is:

• Automatic discount: A discount should be applied automatically when a specific quantity (2, 4, 6, 8, or 10) of items from a particular collection is added to the cart.
• Quantity-based discount: The discount should be applied per item (e.g., $1 off each item).

To meet all your requirements, it truly couldn't be better than introducing you to an entirely FREE app that has all the features you need for your store, and that is SnapBundle Volume Discount. Let's try it and see the results you can achieve with this FREE Shopify app.

• Mix-and-match volume discount for any products in a collection: Buy 8X + 8Y + 8Z for 10% off.
• Volume discounts for the same products: Buy 12X for 5% off, 24X for 10% off.
• Quantity breaks for any variants of a product: Buy 12X and 12Y for 10% off.

@jarriej , I recommend you try our app Discount Bot that lets you adjust minimum quantity rules to achieve this.

Here's how you would set it up in the app to get what you described. Just make sure you select the "Limit discount to whole sets" checkbox:

Please reply in case of questions.

Hi Jarriej,

I would love to help, but I want to make sure I properly understand what you're trying to achieve first.

Can you please clarify what you mean by, "This needs to work on 2,4,6,8 or 10 items"?

Do you mean:

1. This discount should only apply when there are exactly 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 items in the cart?
2. Or, do you mean that $2 ($1 for each item) should be taken off every pair of 2 items? So the discount would apply for 12, 14, 16, etc.?

Depending on your answer, you might be able to set this up in my app, Regios Automatic Discounts (4.9 stars, Built for Shopify). If so, I'll record a video walkthrough.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Tobe
