Discounts for sales channels

Topic summary

Main issue: A Shopify sales channel app did not appear in the “Discounts available on specific sales channels” selector.

Key requirement to appear:

  • The app must be a sales channel app.
  • It must request the read_discounts scope (permission to read discount data).
  • It must be installed on the shop.

Clarification: The read_discounts scope is an app permission that grants read access to discount information, enabling the app to be included in the discount channel selection.

Outcome: After ensuring the app met these conditions, it appeared in the list and the issue was resolved.

Artifacts: A screenshot was referenced to illustrate where the channel selection appears, but it was not central to the solution.

Status: Resolved; no further action requested.

Hi there,

we have a Sales channel app that is available through the Shopify AppStore. As far as I can see, Shopify offers to make discounts available only on specific sales channels (as seen in the screenshot below).

My question is: Why does our app, which is installed in the store, not appear here? Is this something that needs to be requested to be enabled by Shopify?

Many thanks!

Hey @ocastx

Checking on this one.

Hey @ocastx

The app will appear in that list if it:

  • Is a sales channel app
  • has read_discounts scope
  • and is installed on the shop
