Help! Looking for an app that can do this: Buy 2 - Get 15% on specific variants

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

A merchant needs a discount app that applies tiered discounts (15% for 2 items, 25% for 3 items) to specific product variants—specifically posters with frames, but not posters without frames.

Key Requirements:

  • Target specific variants within products (e.g., “with frame” vs “without frame”)
  • Apply discounts automatically in cart, not displayed on product pages
  • Support multiple active automated discounts simultaneously
  • No variant limits (merchant has 100+ product variants)

Shopify’s Limitation:
The built-in Automated Discount feature has a 100-variant limit and only allows one active automated discount at a time, making it unsuitable.

Recommended Solutions:

  1. Automatic Discount & Gift app - Offers extensive discount rules and conditions, allows targeting based on variant titles (e.g., “framed” vs “unframed”), includes 3-day free trial
  2. Quantity X - Volume discount app with no limits, provides precise control over discount management

Both apps can handle variant-specific discounts and support the merchant’s tiered pricing structure.

Hi there,

I am basically looking for a feature like Shopify’s automated discounts - just with fewer limitations.

What I want is the following:

  • Buy 2 posters with frames - save 15%
  • Buy 3 posters with frames - save 25%

So my products typically consists of:

  • Variant 1: Poster without a frame
  • Variant 2: Poster with a frame

Therefore I need to be able to choose specific variants that the discounts should apply to.

Shopify’s own Automated Discount almost does the job. The problem is that is has a limit of 100 product variants which I’m way above and that you can only have one active automated discount at a time - I need two (or more in the future).

Like Shopify’s Automated Discount the discount should be applied when the products are added to the shopping cart. I don’t want a discount table to show on the product page or other stuff like that.

Thanks in advance! :slightly_smiling_face:
Morten

Hey, @mortenlassen

I’d recommend the Automatic Discount & Gift app to accomplish what you are looking for. They offer a ton of discount rules and conditions that you can utilize to offer specific discounts. For example, you can set up discounts based on the variant titles, so you can specify discounts by the framed posters vs unframed posters, etc. They offer a 3 day free trial that you can utilize to try out their app to see if it’s a good fit for your needs.

If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.

Hi @mortenlassen ,
Quantity X is a volume discount app and does precisely what you expect. It has no limits, and you can manage how discounts must work.
