Create an automatic discount

Build a discount that applies itself at checkout — set the value, the schedule, the products it covers, and show the new price on your storefront.

An automatic discount needs no code: Shopify applies it at checkout as soon as the cart contains a product that matches your conditions. It is also the only type that can show its discounted price on your storefront.

1

Open the Discounts page

In your Shopify admin, open the Sami Product Labels app and click Discounts in the app sidebar.

Discounts sits between Badge groups and Extra Features in the sidebar.

2

Click Create discount, then choose Automatic discount

Click Create discount. In the Choose discount type dialog, click Select next to Automatic discount.

Automatic discount applies at checkout on its own — there is no code to share.

The type cannot be changed later. If you need a code instead, see Create a discount code.

3

Name the discount and set its status

The editor opens on the Discount configurations tab. In General information:

• Type a Discount name. It is internal — shoppers never see it — and must be unique in your store.

• Use the selector beside the name to set the status to Active or Draft. The badge next to the section heading follows your choice.

The name identifies the discount in your list and in the Shopify admin.

Leave it on Draft while you are still setting things up. A Draft discount is deactivated in Shopify and applies to nobody.

4

(Optional) Show the discounted price on the storefront

Still in General information, tick Show the discounted price on the storefront. Matching products then show their original price crossed out next to the discounted one, the way a compare-at price is shown.

Click the eye icon next to New price display to open Discount preview and check the result on the Product page and the Checkout page.

Preview how the discount reads before you publish it.

The checkbox is disabled while a minimum purchase requirement is set — a minimum is only met by a whole cart, so the price cannot be shown on a product page.

5

Set the discount value

In the Discount section, pick a Discount value type and enter the number:

Type	What it does
Percentage (%)	Takes that percentage off each matching item. Maximum 100%.
Fixed amount	Takes that amount off each matching item, in your store currency.
New price	Sells each matching item at the price you type, instead of its own price.

Then choose a Purchase type: One-time purchase, Subscription, or Both one-time purchase and subscription.

The value field switches between a % suffix and your currency prefix.

The value has to be greater than 0, and a percentage cannot be greater than 100%.

6

(Optional) Add a minimum purchase requirement

Open the Requirement selector in Minimum purchase requirements and choose one of:

Option	What the cart must reach
No minimum requirements	Nothing — the discount always applies.
Minimum purchase amount	A subtotal you set, in your store currency.
Minimum quantity of items	A number of items you set.

Picking either of the last two adds a Requirement value field below. The requirement counts only the products this discount applies to.

The value counts only the products the discount applies to.

7

Schedule the discount

In Discount time, set the Start date and Start time. The fields are pre-filled with the current date and time.

Tick Set end date to add End date and End time fields. Leave it unticked to run the discount until you deactivate it.

A discount with a start date in the future is listed as Scheduled.

The end time must be later than the start time.

8

Choose which discounts it can combine with

Combinations starts with all three types allowed. Each row shows how many active discounts of that type your store has — click the counter to list them.

Row	Behaviour
Product discounts	Multiple can apply per order.
Order discounts	Multiple can apply per order.
Shipping discounts	Only one can apply per order (best value wins).

Click the x on a row to stop this discount from combining with that type. Once a row is removed, a pencil icon appears in the section header — use it to tick the types back on.

The pencil icon reopens the full list of combination types.

9

(Optional) Add tags

In the Tags section, click Add tags to open the Discount tags popover. Tick an existing tag, or type a new one and click Add tag "…".

Tags are internal. They are shared across the discounts in your store and are used to filter the combination list.

Tags group related campaigns without affecting what shoppers see.

10

Choose which products the discount applies to

Switch to the Product conditions tab and pick a mode:

Mode	What it covers
All products	Every product in the cart gets this discount.
Specific products	Only the products or variants you pick.
Matching conditions	Every product that matches the collections, titles, or tags you set.

For Specific products, type in the Search products field or click Browse to open the Shopify product picker. Selected products are listed with a thumbnail; a product with several variants shows how many are selected and an Edit link to change them. The x removes a product from the list.

Specific products opens the Shopify picker, down to individual variants.

For the third mode, see Use matching conditions.

11

Save

Click Save in the bar at the top of the screen. Discard throws away your changes after a confirmation.

If anything is missing, a red banner lists every problem and the editor switches to the tab that owns the first one.

Once saved, the page heading changes to your discount name and the Don't let this discount go unnoticed card appears — click Create badge to build a badge for this discount, or dismiss it with the x.

The badge editor opens pre-filled with this discount's value.

Next steps

• Use matching conditions — match products by collection, title, or tag instead of picking them one by one.

• Create a discount code — the same setup, with a code the shopper types at checkout.

• Discounts overview — statuses, plan limits, and how discounts connect to badges.
