# 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:

1. Your Shopify admin discount settings
2. Your Assortion widget settings

## Configuration Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Configure Shopify Discount">
    ### Make your Shopify discount combinable

    1. Navigate to **Discounts** in your Shopify admin
    2. Find and click on your discount code
    3. Scroll down to the **Combinations** section
    4. Check the **Product discounts** option
    5. Save your changes

    <Info>
      This allows your manual discount to combine with product-level discounts from Assortion
    </Info>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Assortion Widget">
    ### Enable combination in Assortion

    1. Go to your Assortion dashboard
    2. Edit the widget you want to configure
    3. Navigate to the **Options** section
    4. Check **"Allow discount to be combined with other discounts"**
    5. Save your widget settings

    <Warning>
      Make sure both settings are enabled for discounts to combine properly
    </Warning>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 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

## Troubleshooting

| Issue                   | Solution                                               |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| 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         |

<Note>
  Discount combination rules follow Shopify's native discount priority system. Percentage discounts typically apply before fixed amount discounts.
