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.

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.

(Optional) Add tags
Section titled “(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 “…”.

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.
-
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.
