Looking for Discount App to Replace Selly - Can't apply a discount on out out of stock on POS

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

A merchant using the Selly discount app faces a critical limitation: discounts cannot be applied to out-of-stock items on POS, even though Shopify POS allows selling out-of-stock products. This creates problems when physical inventory exists at the counter but isn’t reflected in the system.

Current Need:

  • Discount app compatible with both online store and POS
  • Must apply discounts to out-of-stock items
  • Simple time-based discounts (e.g., “12% off Product 1 until Feb 12 at 8pm”)
  • No need for complex features like bulk discounts or BOGO offers

Proposed Solutions:

Option 1: Enable “Continue selling when out of stock” in Shopify admin settings, which may resolve the core issue without switching apps.

Option 2: Switch to Volume Discounts-Dealeasy app, which reportedly supports discounts on out-of-stock items for both online and POS.

Option 3: Contact Selly support about their new feature allowing out-of-stock products in POS offers (recently added upon request).

The developer has declined to modify Selly’s current behavior, recommending instead to adjust inventory levels.

Yes we currently use SELLY app for our discounts for ONLINE STPRE and on the POS

Our issue is that if a Product is OUR OF STOCK - Selly will not apply the discount code as they tell me that they can’t apply it to an out of stock item and we need to put it back in stock.

But on the POS for shopify they ALLOW POS to sell out of stock products as they just might of not put them in stock but they have 10 on there counter for sale.

So to sum up we are looking for an APP that will allow us to apply the discounts on the ONLINE store and POS. But ALLOW us to get the DISCOUNT on a product that is not in stock.

  • We don’t care about all of the bulk discont and the tier and the Buy 1 get one free stuff

  • Just for product 1 - 12% off untill Feb 12 at 8pm

  • And

Note I have reached out the the developer many of times but they keep telling me that they won’t fix this and just increase my out of stock item

Thanks

The Dealeasy app will apply the discounts on the ONLINE store and POS and get the DISCOUNT on a product that is not in stock.

Thanks,

[email removed] LighthouseWeb,

In Shopify admin, you can enable the option “Continue selling when out of stock”:

Besides, with the new updates, we can now enable the option to include recent out of stock products in POS offers for the store upon request.

There are many discount/offer types available with better performance such as bundle, quantity breaks, free gifts… on POS and online store:
