You can now set the scope of application for discounts in the Discount Campaign. This lets you choose whether a discount applies to "one-time purchases," "subscription purchases," or both.
If you check "Apply to subscription purchases," you can also set how many subscription orders the discount applies to.
Previously
Previously, the Discount Campaign was limited to supporting only "one-time purchases and the first subscription order."
After the Improvement
With this improvement, you can freely configure the following scopes of application.
- One-time purchases only
-
Subscription purchases only
- Up to the first subscription order
- Up to a specific number of subscription orders
- Unlimited
- Both one-time and subscription purchases
Specification
Scope of Application
When only "Apply to one-time purchases" is selected
- Cart contains only one-time products: Discount applies
- Cart contains only subscription products: Discount does not apply
- Cart contains a mix of one-time and subscription products: Discount does not apply
When only "Apply to subscription purchases" is selected
- Cart contains only one-time products: Discount does not apply
- Cart contains only subscription products: Discount applies
- Cart contains a mix of one-time and subscription products: Discount does not apply
When both "Apply to one-time purchases" and "Apply to subscription purchases" are selected
- Cart contains only one-time products: Discount applies
- Cart contains only subscription products: Discount applies
- Cart contains a mix of one-time and subscription products: Discount applies
Number of Applicable Subscription Orders
- This can only be set when "Apply to subscription purchases" is selected under scope of application.
- If a shipping discount is set to something other than free shipping (that is, other than a 100% discount rate), only "Apply to the first subscription order only" can be selected.
- This is because, due to Shopify's specifications, shipping discounts are automatically applied at a 100% discount rate for the second and subsequent subscription orders.
Note
Discount Campaigns created before this update will continue to have the discount applied only to "one-time purchases and the first subscription order." If you would like to update this behavior, you will need to reconfigure the Discount Campaign.
