Unified Multi-Condition Discount Code Builder
The Opportunity
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."
Market Validation
Detailed Analysis
Proposed 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.
Target Audience
Shopify merchants, especially Shopify Plus stores running promotions, private sales, influencer campaigns, and segmented offers
Competitive Landscape
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
Implementation Notes
Use Shopify Functions for discount logic where available, with fallback cart/checkout extensions for display and validation. Support precedence rules, collection mapping, customer tag targeting, discount stacking constraints, shipping discount inclusion, and a merchant UI for building one code with multiple conditional branches.

"Are you unable to set collections to be the 'Customer buys one of' fields for discounts?"
"I’m hoping someone here has a solution for this."
"I want to use one single code to run the discount."
Key Pain Points
Difficulty in setting up discounts that apply differently across collections or products.
