Can we create a 100% discount code (Order + Shipping)?

Shopify Discussion
1

In order to run through some test orders for new features and digital downloads we have added to our site, I submit a test order for myself from time to time. I have created a 100% discount code (that applies only to my email address), but it is only applicable for the items in the order. I would like to also be able to zero out the shipping on top of the items in the order, so that I am not charging and refunding myself the shipping every time I need to do this.

Is there a way to create a full 100% discount code that would cover both the items in the order + shipping, or can Shopify create an admin only discount code for this purpose?

Hi OlympiaCoffee,

Hope you’re doing well. I’m Sasank, Co-founder of Zula. We recently launched our app - Wire which enables digital downloads and sales of files, URLs and freeform text.

To address this very use case, we have a feature called -“Friend Link” which you could use to access the product anytime and even share it for free with your friends and family :slightly_smiling_face:

Please check wire here - https://apps.shopify.com/wire . We have a 14 day trial for our new users.

Alternatively, you can always create a mock order in Shopify - In ‘Orders’ section → Create Order → Select customer (yourself) → Select Product → Click dropdown against ‘Collect Payment’ → Mark as paid.

Hope this addressed your concern.

Regards

Sasank

Hi @OlympiaCoffee ,

For testing purposes it is better to create a gift card. You can create a Gift card for your email address and use that Gift card code at checkout. It will cover both shipping and product charges.

Hope this helps. :slightly_smiling_face:

Cheers!!

Hey everyone,

So we are excited to announce our new app Combo Discounts that does just this, Order/Product + Shipping Discounts with a single code.

This is available for ALL Shopify plans. We have an early access price at the moment for early supporters.

Heres a demo showing it in action.

Hello,

Our app Stack Discounts Ninja will do exactly what you need—and it works on all Shopify plans.

For basic requirements you need, after installation, enable the app.

Then, create a Code Campaign, specify your single discount code, and add the discounts you’d like to stack:

You can add multiple discounts of any type—Product, Order, or Shipping—and the app will automatically display them in the correct locations for your customers:

By default, Shopify does not allow a single discount code to cover both 100% of the order value and the shipping cost together. You would normally need a separate free shipping discount, and discount stacking is limited.

With our app Single Code Discount Swiftbee, you can create one single code that applies 100% off the order and also makes shipping free at the same time. This allows you to place test orders without charging or refunding yourself for shipping.

It’s simple to set up and works perfectly for admin or internal testing scenarios like yours.
