Is it possible to have a shipping rate attached to a discount code?

Topic summary

A user asks whether it’s possible to link a specific shipping rate to a discount code in Shopify. Their scenario involves offering a flat $8 shipping rate to Singapore when customers use a product-specific discount code, instead of the current free shipping.

Proposed Solution:

  • Create a dedicated shipping profile with the $8 flat rate for Singapore
  • Assign relevant products to this shipping profile
  • Generate a discount code that applies to product pricing (not shipping directly)
  • Clearly communicate to customers that using the discount code makes them eligible for the $8 shipping rate
  • Test the checkout process to ensure the combined discount and shipping rate work as intended

Current Status: The discussion remains open with one suggested workaround provided. The solution requires manual coordination between shipping profiles and discount codes, as Shopify doesn’t natively support directly attaching shipping rates to discount codes.

Hello, is it possible to have a shipping rate attached to a discount code?

For example, the current shipping rate to Singapore in our shop is set to Free but we were wondering if it was possible to have a $8 flat shipping rate when a specific product discount code is used.

Here’s a possible approach:

  1. Create a Shipping Profile: In your Shopify admin, create a new shipping profile specifically for the product or products you want to apply the discounted shipping rate to. You can set the flat rate of $8 for this shipping profile.

  2. Apply the Shipping Profile to Products: Assign the products you want to include in this shipping profile to that profile. This can be done on the product edit page in the “Shipping” section.

  3. Create a Discount Code: Create a discount code that customers can apply during checkout to receive a discount on the specific products. This code should be configured to apply a discount to the product’s price, not the shipping.

  4. Communicate the Process to Customers: Clearly communicate to your customers that when they apply the specific discount code during checkout, they will also be eligible for the discounted $8 shipping rate, effectively offering a combined discount.

  5. Test the Checkout Process: Ensure that the checkout process works as expected by testing it with the specific discount code applied.
