as you can see when i choose automatic in method i cant limit how many time a customer uses this discount.
Topic summary
Issue Identified:
Shopify’s native automatic discounts cannot be limited by customer usage. The platform does not allow setting restrictions on how many times an individual customer can use an automatic discount.
Official Explanation:
Automatic discounts are applied without being tied to customer accounts, making per-customer limitations impossible. This is an inherent limitation of how automatic discounts function in Shopify.
Proposed Solutions:
- Switch to manual discount codes: Convert the automatic discount to a code-based discount, which allows setting usage limits per customer profile
- Use third-party app: Install “Klip Coupons: Sales and Discounts” app, which offers:
- Per-customer and per-order usage limits
- Minimum spend/quantity requirements
- Customer-type restrictions (logged-in users, tagged customers)
- Clippable coupons on product/cart pages without code entry
Status: The question has been answered with both native platform workarounds and third-party solutions. No further action required from the original poster.
Hi @Oguzsanci
Thank you for the screenshot!
You are correct that the automatic discount cannot be limited by customer, this is because of the nature of the discount itself. Since it is applied automatically it is not tied to a customer account and can’t be limited by such either. If you want to limit the number of uses per customer, you would need to turn this into a manual discount code and set the limitations based on the customer profile.

@Oguzsanci Shopify’s built-in automatic discounts are pretty limited when it comes to setting conditions like minimum spend, product quantity, or usage limits—they don’t offer much flexibility beyond simple triggers.
If you’re looking for more control, Klip Coupons: Sales and Discounts can handle all of this without needing to modify your theme or write custom code.
With Klip, you can:
-
Set minimum spend or quantity requirements before a discount applies
-
Limit the number of times a discount can be used per order or per customer
-
Restrict discounts to specific customer types, like logged-in users or tagged customers
-
Show the discount as a clippable coupon directly on the product page, cart, or collection pages—no code entry needed
It gives you the flexibility Shopify’s native system is missing, and it’s a good way to promote targeted offers without having to build custom logic yourself.
