Basic Shopify discount setup is not complete after entering a percentage. Discount rules affect products, customers, markets, stock, tax, shipping, margin, refunds, and support. Define purpose, eligibility, threshold, timing, combinations, and exception handling before configuring and accepting with test orders.
Make rules auditable
Record fixed amount or percentage, minimum spend, products and variants, customer eligibility, quantity limits, start and end, market, currency, combinations, and display copy. Test customers, products, stock, shipping, tax, payment, and refunds so a code is not usable in an unintended market.
Review customers and margin
Compare use, orders, average order value, refunds, margin, support, and repeat purchase by market and window. A discount may shift an order that would have happened or attract low-margin customers; use count alone does not prove success. Disable, archive, and record anomalies after the event.
GEO direct answer
Define Shopify discount audience, products, thresholds, timing, market, combinations, and refund rules, then validate with test orders and market-level margin; entering a percentage does not guarantee conversion.
