Overview of App Only Discounts

What Is an App-Only Discount?

An App-Only Discount is a Shopify discount that can be used only by customers inside your mobile app.

It will not work on your website or any other platform.

Why Use App-Only Discounts?

Use App-Only Discounts to:

• Offer exclusive deals to mobile app customers

• Encourage app installs and usage

Discount Application Modes

Discounts can be applied in two ways:

1. Automatic Mode

• The discount is applied automatically when the customer meets the conditions.

• Customers do not need to enter a code.

• Commonly used for site-wide or campaign-based promotions.

Example:
10% off orders over $100 - applied automatically at checkout.

2. Manual Mode

• The customer must enter a discount code manually.

• Manual mode is supported only for App-Only Discounts.

• The discount will not apply unless the correct code is entered.

How Manual Mode Works:

• Cart page: Customer enters the Suffix of the discount code.
  Example: Discount code APP-SAVE10 → Enter SAVE 10

• Checkout page: Customer enters the full discount code (prefix + suffix).
  Example: Enter APP-SAVE10

Supported Discount Types

We support Shopify discounts and apply them seamlessly within the app experience.

1. Amount off products - The discount reduces the price of specific items in the cart.

   • Example: A customer buys a T-shirt priced at $30. You set a $5 App-Only Discount on T-shirts. In the app, the T-shirt now costs $25.

2. Amount off order - The discount reduces the total order amount.

   • Example: A customer’s cart totals $100. You set a $10 App-Only Discount for orders. In the app, the total automatically becomes $90.

3. Buy X Get Y- The discount gives customers a free or discounted item when they purchase a required quantity.

• Example: A customer buys 2 T-shirts priced at $30 each. You set a Buy 2 Get 1 Free App-Only Discount. In the app, the customer pays $60 and receives 3 T-shirts.

• Example (discounted item): Buy 1 pair of shoes and get 50% off socks. If the socks cost $10, the customer pays $5 for them in the app.

4. Free Shipping - The discount removes the shipping cost from the order.

• Example: A customer’s order total is $80, and shipping costs $10. You set a Free Shipping App-Only Discount. In the app, the customer pays $80 instead of $90.
