Promotion Orchestrator for Gifts, Bundles, and BOGO Stacking
The Opportunity
A Shopify app that helps merchants create promotion rules that combine gifts, discounts, bundles, and BOGO offers without conflicts. It would let store owners decide promo priority, stacking order, exclusions, and automatic cart behavior.
"Merchants struggle with discount stacking conflicts when running multiple promotions at once, such as BOGO plus free gift offers or automatic discounts plus gift codes."
Market Validation
Detailed Analysis
Proposed Solution
Provide a rules engine that controls promotion precedence, mutually exclusive offers, and automatic gift/discount application in cart and checkout. Merchants can choose whether a gift applies before or after BOGO, whether offers stack, and which items are excluded.
Target Audience
Shopify merchants running seasonal promotions, bundle offers, BOGO campaigns, and free gift incentives
Competitive Landscape
Discount Ninja, Automatic Discount Apps, Bundler, BOGOS, various free gift and bundle apps
Implementation Notes
Build a discount precedence engine that integrates with Shopify Functions where possible, supports cart validation and automatic add/remove gift logic, handles product/vendor/collection eligibility, prevents incompatible offers from stacking, and provides a UI for promotion priority and exclusions. Must account for theme/cart drawer compatibility and checkout limitations depending on plan and API access.
