  • Updated

The Discount Code Stacking feature in Custom Pricing allows your customers to enter one or more Shopify discount codes via the cart page. These discounts are applied in addition to Customer Pricing discounts.

Alert: After a recent Shopify update, stores have reported that customers are able to apply expired discount codes in the cart page when the Custom Pricing Discount Code Stacking feature is on. Our team is currently working with Shopify on a solution.

Note: This feature is available exclusively for Custom Pricing Accelerated Method (V3).

Functionality

When Custom Pricing is used in Accelerated Method (V3), it applies its discounts using the Shopify draft order checkout. By default, the discount code field is not available in Shopify's draft checkout.

The Discount Code Stacking feature in Custom Pricing allows you to let your customers to enter their Shopify discount codes on the cart page. You can allow your customers to enter only one discount code, multiple discount codes, or disable the option altogether. All discount codes applied are added in addition to their Custom Pricing discounts.

Example

Discount code field on the cart page:

When a discount code is applied, the the product updates to reflect the discounted price and the code appears on the page:

If you've allowed multiple discounts to be added, each discount that gets applied appears, and the product price updates to reflect each discount:

In the checkout, the discount codes that were applied in the cart appear under the product, and the discount is reflected under the original product price:
