How can I add a deposit line item to my order admin page without using an app?

Hey Everyone,

Has anyone successfully implemented a workaround to add a deposit line item to their order admin page without using an app? I tried using a discount code to remove 50% of the total when a deposit has been made, but Shopify only permits one discount per order (we already use discounts for veterans, first responders, and returning customers). I’ve also tried creating a custom product that’s a negative amount but it won’t allow that either. Additionally, I tried creating a gift card that mimics a discount, but that gets complex since each order would need a new gift card created with a unique code. Any more ideas out there, I’m struggling to find a solution to this issue. Thanks!

Hi,

The Shopify discount is only available to apply ONE (lowest) code (or auto discount).

To make double or triple discounts, you will need to modify your cart-template.liquid with conditions. You have to use customer.tags, product.price with calculation (minus:, divided_by:, times: 100.0 (percent) etc.,) and many conditional logic. The price must be changed with discount (applied the discount) before checkout step because the checkout procedure is belong to Shopify (Shopify Plus only modify the checkout).

Without customizing the cart, it is impossible to give them double discounts.

Hope it helps.

Thanks.

Is your suggested workaround capable of adding a discount manually on the admin side of the order? Or does it only pertain to the customer facing side? Thanks!
