Hello,
With our app Stack Discounts Ninja you can create 100+ automatic discounts.
It still has some limits and can differ based on how complicated discounts you use.
Thanks.
Topic summary
A convenience grocery store owner seeks an app supporting unlimited automatic discounts with fixed-amount pricing (e.g., “2 for £10” or “3 for £20”). Previous apps either hit Shopify’s 5-discount limit or had cart display issues.
Key Technical Constraint:
Shopify’s Functions API limits apps to 5 automatic discounts (recently increased to 25 with Shopify 25 update). No app can bypass this natively.
Proposed Workarounds:
- Multi-tier discounts: Apps like Discount Bot and Regios Discounts allow creating single discounts with multiple quantity tiers, reducing total discount count
- Manual activation cycling: Temporarily deactivate discounts to create new ones, then reactivate (though Shopify may have closed this loophole)
- Advanced logic builders: Combine multiple offer conditions into single discounts
Recommended Solutions:
- Bundler: Product Bundles (£6.99/month): The original poster’s final choice after testing 20+ apps. Uses bundles instead of discounts (no limits), auto-detects cart additions, supports fixed pricing and mix-and-match
- ADU: Automatic Discounts: Works well functionally but pricing model (~£80/month) doesn’t suit high-volume, low-margin retail
- Klip Coupons: Clippable coupons bypass the 25-discount limit entirely
Outcome: Resolved by switching from discount-based to bundle-based approach.
