How can I allow multiple discounts at checkout?

Topic summary

Merchants are unable to combine multiple discounts at checkout—for example, an automatic 10% off promotion alongside a manual discount code. Shopify’s platform historically allowed only one discount per order, with no native setting to enable stacking.

Shopify’s Response:

  • Support staff repeatedly added merchant votes to an internal feature request but provided no timeline for implementation.
  • Workarounds suggested included gift cards, partial refunds, draft orders, or third-party apps—though many merchants reported apps either didn’t work, conflicted with other tools, or added unwanted costs and complexity.
  • Shopify Plus users could access checkout scripts for custom discount logic, but this wasn’t available on standard plans.

Community Frustration:

  • Requests for this feature date back to at least 2012, spanning over a decade with no resolution.
  • Merchants expressed frustration that the thread was marked “solved” despite the issue remaining unresolved.
  • Many felt Shopify was incentivizing paid apps rather than building native functionality, viewing this as a revenue strategy rather than a technical limitation.

Resolution (June 2022):

  • Shopify finally announced Discount Combinations, allowing merchants to stack discount codes (manual or automatic) and run multiple automatic discounts simultaneously.
  • The feature rolled out to all eligible merchants, ending years of requests and workarounds.

Please add my vote to the list too. Not being able to stack discount codes is really limiting. If I’m running a sale, but also want to offer free express shipping for those who abandoned cart, for example, I am unable to do this. Please bring in stackable discount codes!

I just came out with 3 new products and installed a tier pricing app that applies auto-generated discount codes in order to apply the tiered pricing discounts on the whole collection. It works great! Except I wanted to send out an announcement email with a discount coupon to my previous customers, and then I realized that they wouldn’t be able to use it anyway because the tiered discount code would get cancelled out. Now I have to either find a tiered pricing app that doesn’t generate codes but works with collection discounts and ajax… or figure something else out.

Please add my vote for stacked discount codes :slight_smile: Hopefully they’ll listen to us. I don’t see it being a huge thing to implement code-wise.

HI there, this is a problem, we need to accept the posibility to customers to combine discounts if we want

We need multiple automatic discounts and stackable/combined discounts at checkout.

please add my vote for coupon stacking. This is crucial to our business. Had I known about this limitation before setting up my whole store, I may have gone with a different platform.

Ditto. Now considering a change due to this limitation.

Hello, everyone.

Thank you for your continued interest and feedback to getting stackable discounts added to the platform. I wanted to take the time to let all the newcomers know that your votes and use cases (if provided) have been added to the feature request. For future votes, I will continue to proactively add them to the ballot as they come in.

Please add my vote as well.

I run a loyalty program where I have added some code to my store that will work out what discount set to apply based on the tag a user has. I now want to add another discount code on a specific product but this now over writes the previous loyalty discount. So stackable discount codes in today’s e-commerce environment is really a must have option.

Why do I have the funny feeling that Shopify isnt taking any “ballot/votes” to add this feature, and are just saying this to shut us all up?

This feature request has been going on for years now…in multiple threads…

Hi Peter,

Please add our vote to this request - we would be using these in numerous ways to reward repeat customers via our loyalty program in combination with seasonal offers.

The suggestion of locksmith is a good one but we offer highly personalised products which we have already had to develop custom code to handle, this if we are offering free engraving on first-time purchases while this could be tracked in locksmith it would create the issue of having to rewrite this code entirely or alter it significantly.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Peter

Please add my vote towards having the option of allowing buyers to use more than one coupon at a time.

Thanks

Can you please add our shop to this request too! We’re desperate for the ability to stack discounts but we’d rather not pay a monthly subscription for an app to do it!

Me too! I tried an app but it conflicted with both our them and with another app from the same company. So, “apps” would be bad enough if all they did was take your money, but then they don’t work either. Shopify really needs to listen to their customers and implement this feature, which I think is pretty standard in ecommerce platforms.

It’s a bit silly that this standard issue is not implemented already. I imagine this is simply a few lines of conditional code and a the standard barrage of testing.

This issue should not be marked as solved, and definitely takes my vote.

We also desperately need stackable discounts in order for our loyalty program to work. Please implement this!

This is insane!!! Its a simple MUST have for any store> We would have never used shopify if we had know this simple feature is not available on it. Are you kidding us SHOPIFY??? Will be switching over for sure if this does not get solved…

There’s years of merchant pleas for multiple discount support on this forum, so presumably it’s a ‘monumental task’ for Shopify (but strangely not other shopping sites… hmmm).

Could Shopify at least ‘start small’ and allow both 1 automatic and 1 manual discount on the same order? Lots of us want to offer basic volume discounts (as they save everybody on shipping costs and effort, etc.) automatically, plus discretionary rewards for new/repeat customers, promos and such.

The usual Shopify cop-out of ‘buy an app for that’ doesn’t work, as people in this thread have explained those apps conflict with other apps.

Please add me to the list! Or maybe even better would be adding a link to the page where people can vote for themselves…

Count me in for this!

Multiple automatic discount is very common practice. People buy 2 get xx disc AND get more disc if they buy 3 or 4 or any number that a store want to give for the customer… and this can be happened at the same time… this is how retail doing their promotion… this is not something new… even before online shop, this multiple disc type of promotion running in the same time has been a common practice for conventional retail store…
