First Product at original price, any other product of the same category at 50%

Topic summary

A user is seeking a way to implement a category-specific discount structure in Shopify where the first product in each category is sold at full price, while all additional items from that same category receive a 50% discount.

Example scenario:

  • 5 t-shirts purchased: 1 at full price, 4 at 50% off
  • 3 pants purchased: 1 at full price, 2 at 50% off

Key requirement: The discount must apply independently per product category within a single order, rather than across the entire cart.

The discussion remains open with no responses yet, leaving the question of whether this is achievable through native Shopify features or requires custom development unanswered.

Hi all,

is there a way of providing any product other than the first one within the same category for 50% off? For example, someone buys 5 tshirts and 3 pants within 1 order:

Tshirts: First One to be paid at full price, the remaining 4 at 50%.

Pants: First one to be paid at full price, the remaining 2 at 50%

So it needs to be specific to the respective categories and not just everything within the cart. Is there a way to do this?
