Merchant problem report
Unified Multi-Condition Discount Code Builder
Report created Jul 30, 2026
The problem to investigate
An app that lets merchants create one discount code with multiple product- and order-level conditions. It would support different discount rates by collection, order caps, and shipping discounts under a single customer-facing code.
Shopify’s native discount system does not allow merchants to combine multiple discount types and rules cleanly into one code, especially when they need collection-based discounts, order caps, and free shipping together.

What merchants said
Each excerpt is matched to its original merchant and source text. Check the original discussion before drawing conclusions.
“I want it where their audience can use just one set code for them but it will affect items differently.”
“I’m hoping someone here has a solution for this.”
Hypotheses to validate
The following is AppScout’s interpretation, not merchant testimony or a validated business forecast.
Possible solution
Provide a rule-based discount engine where one code can trigger multiple conditional rules across collections, products, customer tags, cart thresholds, and shipping benefits. The app should calculate the best eligible discount automatically in cart/checkout while keeping the merchant-facing setup simple.
Who to interview
Shopify merchants, especially Shopify Plus stores running promotions, private sales, influencer campaigns, and segmented offers
Competitive assumptions to check
Discount apps with advanced rules such as Automatic Discounts apps, Bundler-style promo apps, and Shopify Functions-based discount apps; many competitors only partially solve the multi-condition combination problem
