Can customers use more than one discount code on an order?

Yes, customers can use more than one discount code when the discounts are allowed to combine in Shopify.

Yes, customers can use more than one discount code when the discounts are allowed to combine in Shopify.

Glow lets you choose which types of discounts can combine with the codes generated from each reward.

Set combination rules in Glow

Go to Rewards > Manage Rewards, then open the reward you want to edit.

Under Discount Combinations, choose which other discount types this reward's generated codes can combine with:

  • Order discounts

  • Product discounts

  • Shipping discounts

Glow discount combination settings

For example, if you want a $10 off reward code to work with a free shipping code, allow the reward to combine with shipping discounts.

If you want a free shipping reward to work with another order discount, allow the free shipping reward to combine with order discounts.

Both discounts need compatible settings

Shopify only combines discounts when the discounts are compatible and the combination settings allow them.

If a Glow reward code is being used with another discount, check both discounts in Shopify:

  1. Open Discounts in Shopify.

  2. Open the Glow-generated code.

  3. Review the Combinations section.

  4. Open the other discount and review its Combinations section too.

If either discount does not allow the combination, Shopify may reject one of the codes or apply the best available discount instead.

Existing codes may need to be edited in Shopify

Changing Discount Combinations in Glow controls future discount codes generated from that reward.

If a customer already redeemed points and already has a code, open that code in Shopify and edit the combination settings there.

Example

In this example, a customer is using an order discount and a free shipping discount in the same checkout.

Shopify checkout with combined discount codes

Important Shopify limits

Shopify groups discounts into order, product, and shipping discount classes.

Shopify also has limits on how many codes can be used in one checkout. At the time of this article, Shopify allows up to 5 product or order discount codes and 1 shipping discount code on the same order.

For the most current Shopify rules, see Shopify's guide to combining discounts.

Troubleshooting

Shopify says the discount cannot be used with existing discounts

Open each discount in Shopify and confirm both discounts allow the combination.

Also check for automatic discounts. A customer's cart may already have an automatic discount applied before they enter the Glow code.

The Glow settings look right, but the customer's existing code still does not combine

The customer may have redeemed the code before you changed the reward settings.

Open the already-created code in Shopify and edit the code's combination settings there.

I do not see the shipping option on a free shipping reward

Free shipping rewards do not show the Shipping discounts combination checkbox in Glow because they are already shipping discounts.

Use Order discounts or Product discounts if you want the free shipping code to combine with those discount types.
