How can I set a maximum dollar amount for discount codes?

Hey Rpanda, can you explain this more?

4-5 years later, still no such feature…

What is Shopify doing?

I’m about to shift to other ecommerce platforms.

None of the above apps have USD discount limits which is what this post is about. Its been 4 years and Shopify is still figuring out how to do this or simply doesnt care to do it.

My conclusion is that they simply do not care. This is a very basic feature and less complicated than most everything else on the platform, including newly rolled out features.

But following this logic, you give EVERY customer who goes over that limit (in your example $1,000) a % off their order, regardless whether they entered a code or not. In other words, you might have received that high value order without any discounts, but now the automatic discount has cost you 15%.

so you can set a maximum dollar amount?

Hi
How this can be done? There is no option to do so !

Wow! This still needs to be done. I have expensive and inexpensive products and need to offer a code that has a maximum dollar value. Help!!!

First, you need to be in the Shopify Plus plan,

Then install https://apps.shopify.com/devcloud-easy-discounts

Lets say you have a discount code “test55” and you need to give 15% discount capped to USD 10?

Trick here is to add 2 tier discount with 1st tier discount type percentage and 2nd tier as fixed amount.

You just have to do some calculation to get the 2nd tier level amount.

Hope this helps.

So is there not even an APP that can help with this? I offer a percent off code to specific customers, but they have a spend limit for the year (ie. 60% off for the year with a $1000 limit)

You are most welcome!!

Looks like this update is pending from 2019.

There is an app introduced that solves this question, but it requires a subscription to the Shopify Plus plan.

So I developed an app that solves this.

Some posts have suggested that Shopify should be the solution, not the app, but I hope this helps those who need it right now.

Hi Hirano,

So I can see the App does tiered discounts, but can you under one discount code say (for example) 20% off your order, with a maximum discount of £30? If it does, that that’s this issue put to rest.

Hi Offdaze,

Yes, the app provide three types of discounts.

The link is for detailed instructions on how to use the app, but “Amount off order” provide the discount you are looking for.

This can be done by creating a discount with settings like those in the image below.

Hi Hirano,

Not looking for a Maximum purchase amount but an maximum discount amount. I know most people in this thread are looking for something like this:

We have a discount code like “Example123” which gives 20% off their order, but a maximum discount of £30. So if a user adds a product with the value of £100 they would get £20 (20%) off their order. But if a customer added a product with the value of £200 they would only get £30 off rather than £40 (20%) because the maximum discount value of £30 has been reached.

Does your app then allow that maximum discount to be retained, or does the discount not work for orders over the set amount?

Hi @Offdaze ,

My app does not work with discounts for orders over a set amount.
However, I can develop the discount you seek.

Do you need a minimum purchase requirement instead of a maximum purchase requirement?

Thanks for letting me know.

Hi @Hirano_00 ,

We wouldn’t need a minimum purchase requirement (some people may want this). It’s not anything to do with maximum/minimum purchases but how much of a discount customers to access. A lot of Shopify Stores have products ranging from the lower value (say £20) to high value (say £1,000) items and when we offer % discounts people can get way too much money off those high value items. So we want to be able to offer a discount that gives a decent amount off without massively eating into our profit margins on the higher value items. I think most people in this thread are looking for:

  • All products discount

  • Percentage discount: X%

  • Maximum discount: £X.XX

Hi @Offdaze ,

I can’t thank you enough for your advice.

I realized that I had to implement this as a product discount, not an order discount.
