Combining Discounts
Learn how to combine manually created discounts with Assortion discounts
You can combine manually created discounts (like welcome discounts or seasonal promotions) with Assortion’s automatic discounts. This allows you to offer multiple discount types simultaneously to maximize conversions.
Prerequisites
To combine discounts, you need to configure settings in both:- Your Shopify admin discount settings
- Your Assortion widget settings
Configuration Steps
1
Configure Shopify Discount
Make your Shopify discount combinable
- Navigate to Discounts in your Shopify admin
- Find and click on your discount code
- Scroll down to the Combinations section
- Check the Product discounts option
- Save your changes
This allows your manual discount to combine with product-level discounts from Assortion
2
Configure Assortion Widget
Enable combination in Assortion
- Go to your Assortion dashboard
- Edit the widget you want to configure
- Navigate to the Options section
- Check “Allow discount to be combined with other discounts”
- Save your widget settings
Make sure both settings are enabled for discounts to combine properly
How It Works
When both settings are enabled:- Customers can use a manual discount code (e.g., WELCOME10)
- Assortion discounts (volume, bundle, etc.) will still apply
- The discounts stack, giving customers the best possible deal
Common Use Cases
Welcome + Volume
Combine a new customer discount with volume pricing tiers
Seasonal + Bundle
Stack holiday promotions with bundle discounts
VIP + Product
Apply VIP customer codes alongside product-specific offers
Referral + Upsell
Use referral discounts with upsell promotions

Troubleshooting

|---|---|
| Discounts not combining | Verify both Shopify and Assortion settings are enabled |
| Wrong calculation | Check discount priority settings in Shopify |
| Customer confusion | Add clear messaging about combinable discounts |
Discount combination rules follow Shopify’s native discount priority system. Percentage discounts typically apply before fixed amount discounts.
