How can I set up a tiered dollar amount discount?

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

Goal: Offer tiered, fixed-dollar discounts based on order spend (e.g., $30+ → $5 off; $60+ → $10 off; $90+ → $20 off) without Shopify Plus.

Constraints: Current options found only support percentage discounts or product-quantity thresholds. Merchant does not use Shopify Plus.

Suggested approaches:

  • Operational workaround: Treat as a rebate—issue a partial refund or a store gift card after purchase. Alternatively, use an automation app (Mechanic) to generate tiered discount codes or create draft orders with adjusted prices. Draft orders are admin-created orders with custom pricing; Mechanic is a scripting/automation tool for Shopify.
  • Loyalty/credit: Use a rewards app (e.g., Rise.ai) to grant tiered store credit based on spend, applied to the next order (not the current order).
  • Possible app: iCart Cart Drawer Cart Upsell claims to support the requested tiered dollar-off functionality; offers a 14-day free trial.

Key links were provided for Mechanic tasks and app pages.

Status: No confirmed solution delivering immediate tiered dollar-off on the current order without Shopify Plus. The thread remains open; viability of iCart for current-order discounts and preference between rebate vs future credit are unresolved.

Hoping someone can help me with an app that will allow me to offer a tiered discount that looks something like this:

Spend $30+ receive $5 off order

Spend $60+ receive $10 off order

Spend $90+ receive $20 off order

So far, I have only been able to find apps that offer

Spend X receive a percentage off OR Buy X amount of products, receive $ off.

I do not have Shopify plus.

In the interim till you find such an app , you may want to present this as a rebate process instead where in the backend you issue a refund on the total order, or issue a store gift card to the customer.

If you cannot find an discount app with this mode of operation you may want to look at automation apps like usemechanic and build a custom script where you are either creating custom discount codes, or generating draft orders with custom product prices.

Theirs’s no exact script already they have several starter scripts to get started with custom solutions.

Merchants without Shopify Plus that need this can email me with use case and expect revenue of the feature.

Hey there,

I’m Hila from the Rise.ai team.

On our app you are able to create a reward program that is super customizable. You can reward your customers with a dollar amount of store credit according to the amount they spent on an order (just as you described). I’ll emphasize that this rewards customers with credit to use on their next order, and not for the current order, but we believe that this is a great solution for getting customers back to your store!

If this is something you’d like to consider, you can visit our app page to learn more and get in touch with us.

I hoped this helped!

Hila
