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

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A Shopify store owner wants to create a 100% discount code that covers both product costs and shipping for testing purposes. Currently, their discount code only applies to items, requiring them to pay and refund shipping fees repeatedly.

Proposed Solutions:

  • Gift Card Method: Create a gift card for the test email address, which will cover both product and shipping charges at checkout
  • Manual Order Creation: Use Shopify’s built-in feature to create mock orders directly in the admin panel (Orders → Create Order → Mark as paid)
  • Third-Party Apps: Multiple app developers promoted solutions:
    • Wire app offers a “Friend Link” feature for free digital product access
    • Combo Discounts app enables combined order/product + shipping discounts with a single code
    • Stack Discounts Ninja allows stacking multiple discount types (Product, Order, Shipping) under one code campaign

The gift card approach appears to be the most straightforward native Shopify solution, while apps provide more flexible discount stacking capabilities for stores needing this functionality beyond testing.

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!!
