In this article, we’ll explain what happens when you run an active campaign in Discounty alongside discounts in Shopify or other third-party discount/bundle apps. Understanding how these discounts interact can help you maximize your promotional strategies and avoid unintended stacking of offers.
Discounty manages the creation of discounts within our app, while Shopify handles how these discounts are applied and combined with other available offers on the platform. This distinction is key to understanding how different discounts will interact.
"Price Rule" Campaigns (formerly named "General Discount"):
In the Price Rule (formerly named General Discount campaigns), Discounty adjusts the compare-at price and the actual price of your products. As a result, these discounts will work alongside with other Shopify discounts, such as manual codes or automatic discounts. For example, if a promotional Price Rule reduces a product's price by 20% and a customer uses a 10% discount code, the code will be applied on the already reduced price (not the original price).
If you'd like to prevent the combination of Discounty Price Rule campaigns with other Shopify native discounts, there are workarounds available for some specific scenarios. One approach is creating a smart collection containing products without a 'compare-at price' and then tailoring discount codes to this collection. Check out this article for detailed steps.
