I am trying to do a standard % discount code, and am manually adding in products that will qualify for the discount. I then added all products manually, and now it says there is an error, “there is 1 error with this discount: Exceeded max number” but no where does it tell you how many products one can add? What is the number of products one can add? All online searches say there is no limit, but there must be if this.

Hi Elizabeth,

“A discount code can apply to up to 100 specific customers, products, and variants.”

I found this information here:

https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/discounts/discount-types/discount-codes

If you’re looking for an app solution that allows you to include more than 100, just reply, and I’ll be happy to help.

Best,

Tobe

To extend further from this limit, you’d need to use a Shopify app based on Shopify discount functions that allows you to configure advanced discounts.

f you need a discount that applies to more than 100 products, the only workaround is using a Shopify app that’s built on Shopify Functions. Apps using Functions don’t have this 100-product restriction and can apply the discount across entire collections, tags, or your whole catalog without manually selecting products.

Here’s one example of an app using Functions (in case you want a simple, non-manual setup)

It supports advanced discount logic + collection-wide rules, so you don’t have to manually add products one by one.

If you want, I can also show you how to set up the rule using Functions so it scales past the Shopify limit.
