How Can I Apply a automatic discount to everything but Closeouts

Store Design

Topic summary

Main issue: Apply an automatic discount to all products except items tagged as Closeouts. The store is losing money because a welcome/first-time signup discount currently applies to Closeouts, and excluding them by manually editing many collections isn’t feasible.

Proposed solution:

  • Use the “Regios Automatic Discounts” Shopify app (noted as 4.8★, Built for Shopify).
  • First, create an automated collection named “Closeouts” with the rule: Product tag equals “closeout.”
  • In the app’s advanced logic builder, set the automatic discount to apply to all products except the “Closeouts” collection (screenshots provided to demonstrate the exclusion setup).

Key terms:

  • Automatic discount: A discount applied automatically at checkout without a code.
  • Automated collection: A dynamic product group populated by rules (e.g., tags).
  • Tag: A product label used for filtering and automation.

Outcomes/Status:

  • Clear third-party app workflow provided to exclude Closeouts from auto discounts.
  • No confirmation from the original poster; the solution is suggested, not yet verified. Discussion remains open.

I tag items as Closeouts, and I know how to create collections and groups. Is there any way to apply an automatic discount to everything but Closeouts?
I’m asking because I’m losing money on Closeout items when people apply for our Welcome/First time signup discount…
I have I have to many collections to just add all but that one.. plus closeout items are still in their original respective collections. I really need a way to exclude by a tag, if that is possible.

I hope someone might be able to help. - Thanks - Burt

Hi TravelingBags,

If you’re looking for a way to:

  • Create an automatic discount
  • That applies to all products, except a specific group of products

Then look no further than our app, Regios Automatic Discounts (4.8 stars, Built for Shopify).

First, you will need to create an automated collection called “Closeouts,” with these criteria:

  • Product tag is equal to “closeout” (or whatever tag you have)

The following screenshots demonstrate how you can then easily exclude the “Closeouts” collection using our advanced logic builder:
