How to manage multiple product discounts with limited active discounts?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Managing quantity-based discounts across thousands of products while limited by Shopify’s cap of 25 active automatic discounts.

  • Merchant has ~2,000 products, many needing 4–6 quantity tiers. They combined some products into shared tiers but still exceed the 25 active discount limit.
  • Concern raised about Shopify’s “only 1 active discount” rule: unclear whether a customer can receive multiple product-specific automatic discounts on one order. No definitive answer provided in the thread.
  • Shopify support requested exact tier details to explore workarounds (e.g., hidden/admin-only collections for discount tiering). Suggested third-party apps like Discount Ninja or volume/quantity discount apps; noted Discount Ninja offers a 14-day trial but is third-party.
  • Merchant provided concrete tier examples (e.g., 3+/10+/50+/240/480 units with 8–35% off; other items with 2+/6+ tiers up to 45%).
  • Merchant requires an app with an API; reports not finding any vendors with API support so far.
  • Other users echoed similar needs, asking about API-capable or bulk-update solutions.

Status: Unresolved. Open questions: API-enabled discount management and confirmation of multi-product discount application behavior per order.

Hi, @gryhnd520

Welcome to the Shopify Community!

Can you provide more context into your coupon needs? What are the specific coupons that you need that require you to have more than 25? There might be a way we can combine the discounts or products to allow you to achieve this.

If we hit a wall there is always the option to use an app. There are loads of options depending on your needs. For example there are all in one apps such as Discount Ninja or there are a variety of quantity/volume based discount apps.

I look forward to your response! If you can provide as much detail as possible that will let us come up with the best solution. Also feel free to provide your store domain so we can provide additional feedback!
