Shipping discount example

In this example, the customer can qualify for free shipping if their cart subtotal is over $100 or if they have five or more items in the cart.

The result:

At checkout, the customer will see their shipping discount and custom message.

In this example, there are two trigger conditions. We've used the OR statement to allow any of the two conditions to execute the trigger. When the cart has items that qualify, the action is executed. In the action, we simply apply a total shipping discount based on percentage:

Any of the two trigger conditions will execute the action

Setting up a shipping discount

Step 1 of 4: Campaign name

1. From the Function Junction dashboard, under Quick start templates, click Shipping Discount.

2. Under Function name, give your discount a unique name so you can identify it later.

Note:

Function names (also called campaign names) need to be unique. Once created, they appear in the Discounts section of the Shopify admin.

Step 2 of 4: Function trigger

In this example, there are two triggers. The OR statement is required, meaning that one condition or the other must be met to trigger the discount. For the trigger conditions, the customer needs to have a cart subtotal of over $100 or have five or more items in the cart.

1. Set up the conditions that customers need to meet to get the discount. In this example, the function needs one of two conditions, so click Add a condition and then enter the following conditions:

   1. If cart subtotal is greater than or equal to 100

   2. or cart items quantity is greater than 5

2. Click Next.

Step 3 of 4: Function action

1. Set up the action (the discount) that is taken when the conditions you set are met.

   1. For this example, the action should be: Percentage total discount.

   2. Fill in the second text box with the number representing the discount amount you want to set up, then click Next. In this example, the discount here is 100%.

2. Optional: Under Filter, add a filter. You can choose to set the discount for only specific products. This can be based on: product/variant, product tag, collection, vendor, type, or on sale. Each filter condition you can choose has specific rules that you need to set up.

3. When you're done, click Next.

In this example, the customer is rewarded with 100% off the cost of shipping.

Step 4 of 4: Discount details

1. Under Discount type, select if you want the discount to be Automatic or With Discount Code. In this example, the discount applies automatically.

   1. Automatic: Under Discount message, if you select Yes, then enter the discount message in the field provided below.

   2. With Discount Code: Enter the discount code that you want customers to enter at checkout.

2. Under Combinations, if you want this discount to be combined with other discounts, then click Yes, and check which types of discounts that you want it to be combinable with.

3. When you're done, click Publish.

When your discount is published, if you want to advertise it, then you can publish a widget to your store.
