Implementing One-Time Use Discounts in Shopify for First-Time Customers - BOGO discount

Topic summary

Goal: Apply a first‑time customer automatic discount that can only be used once per customer on Shopify.

Key constraints: Shopify’s native automatic discounts cannot be limited to a single use per customer.

Proposed approaches:

  • Third‑party apps: Options like Automatic Discount Manager, Discount Manager, or LoyaltyLion can enforce per‑customer limits.
  • Custom code (“Shopify Scripts”): A developer can implement logic to check if a customer has previously used the discount and only apply it if they have 0 prior orders.
  • Unique coupon codes: Generate single‑use codes per customer and set them to expire after one redemption.

App-specific suggestion: Regios Automatic Discounts was recommended with a logic flow that applies the discount only if the customer’s order count equals 0. A template exists to set this up quickly. A screenshot was provided illustrating the configuration.

Latest update: The original poster requested step‑by‑step instructions on how to display/configure the options shown in the screenshot. Screenshots are referenced and relevant to understanding the setup.

Status: No final solution steps have been provided yet; the thread remains open pending detailed implementation guidance.
