How can I set up an automated discount meter for my checkout page?

Topic summary

Goal: set up an automated discount meter/progress bar that tells shoppers how much more to add to reach the next discount tier (e.g., add $50 to reach 10% at $100; add $10 to reach 15% at $150; add $10 to reach 20% at $200).

Follow-up: asker wants to know where in Shopify to configure thresholds so the meter appears automatically on the checkout page; they use the Upscale theme.

Proposed solution: use the “Discount Ray—Wholesale Pricing” app, which supports automated personalized discounts, tiered pricing (different discounts at spend tiers), and a dynamic progress bar based on cart total that updates as items change. The app offers a 14-day free trial and responsive support. A screenshot of the progress bar was provided.

Status: no native Shopify steps were detailed; it’s unclear from replies if the app’s progress bar appears on the checkout page specifically. Resolution pending.

Please I need help regarding how to setups a meter that will show my automated discount on checkout page. Here is example of what I’m looking for; a meter display, that would say how much is left to add before the next level discount applyies. Eg. if they have a product in the cart valued at $50, it would say something like “add another $50 to get 10% off” … and when it has 140 it would say add another 10 to get 15% off; and when it has 190 it would say add another 10 to get 20% off. … How can I set that on my store

Hello @Renpin

From your description, it sounds like you’d like to display a discount meter or progress bar that motivates customers to “spend more to save more.”

If you’re open to using a third-party app, I’d recommend trying Discount Ray—Wholesale Pricing. This app includes an automated personalized discount feature that lets you create multiple conditions and apply corresponding discounts. You can set it up based on total cart value, so customers will see a dynamic progress bar on the product page that updates automatically as they add or remove items from their cart—clearly showing how close they are to getting their offer.

In addition, the app offers tiered pricing and other advanced discount options. It also provides a 14-day free trial, and their support team is very responsive—they’ll be happy to assist you with setup or any questions you may have.

I hope this helps you achieve the result you’re looking for.
Thank you.
