DiscountOS docs

DiscountOS is a free Shopify app for running discounts: product, order and shipping discounts, buy X get Y, bundles, multi-offer, quantity breaks, spend more save more, gift with purchase and price lists, plus the storefront blocks that show them to shoppers.

These docs are task-first. Each page covers one thing, with the exact steps and the exact values to type.

Where to start

• New to the app — Install DiscountOS walks the install and what the app adds to your Shopify admin.
• Building your first one — Create your first discount is a four-step walk that ends with a live 10% off order discount.
• Wondering how shoppers get it — Where discounts show covers automatic discounts, discount codes, and what the shopper sees.
• Setting up a discount — go straight to the page for the discount type you are building.
• Something is not applying — Discount not applying is the checklist to work down.

Discount types

• Product discount — money off the qualifying items.
• Order discount — money off the whole order.
• Shipping discount — money off the delivery cost.
• Buy X get Y — buy these, get those free or cheaper.
• Bundle — a fixed price or a percentage for a set of items bought together.
• Multi-offer — product, order and shipping offers in one discount.
• Quantity break — cheaper per item the more they buy.
• Spend more save more — spend tiers on the order.
• Gift with purchase — a free gift once the cart qualifies.
• Price list — quantity pricing tiers with their own count modes.

Rules and targeting

The same builder sits on every discount type. One page per concept.

• Conditions — items, cart and customer conditions, and AND/OR rule groups.
• Customer eligibility — limiting a discount to customer segments.
• Markets and currency — which markets a discount runs in, and the currency conversion switch.
• Combinations — what may run alongside what.
• Usage limits and scheduling — caps, one use per customer, and the store-timezone schedule.

Promotions

What shoppers see on your storefront.

• App embed — the theme switch badges, price drops and automatic gifts need.
• Sale badge — a badge like “20% off” on your product images.
• Price drop — the old price crossed out with the discounted one.
• Storefront widgets — the tier table, the picker and the spend table.
• Cart goal bar — progress toward the next spend tier.

Block codes

• Block codes — reject entered discount codes with your own message.

Manage discounts

• The discount list — searching, filtering and reading the status badges.
• Duplicate — copy a discount instead of rebuilding it.
• Activate and deactivate — turning a discount on and off.
• Edit and delete — changing a live discount, and removing one.

Troubleshooting

• Discount not applying — the checklist, in order.
• App embed shows disabled — the switch is on but the app disagrees.

How these pages work

Every discount page follows the same shape: what you get, numbered setup steps, a settings reference for each field, buildable examples, how the discount shows to the shopper, and the limits Shopify enforces.

Each page carries the date it was last checked against the live app. If a page and the app disagree, the app is right, and the page is a bug worth reporting to [email protected].
