Spend thresholds

A discount when the cart reaches a minimum amount

A spend threshold gives a discount once the cart reaches an amount, for example "Spend $100, get 15% off". It lifts order value across your whole catalogue.

Create a spend threshold offer

  • Click Add discount and choose Spend Threshold.
  • Under Spend Threshold, enter Spend at least, then the Discount Type and Discount Value.
  • Discount applies to: The whole order takes the discount off the order subtotal; The qualifying products takes it off the products the offer covers.
  • For the whole order, set Applies to to the order. For qualifying products, choose the products or collections.
  • Click Create Discount.

What counts toward the minimum

The minimum counts what the shopper actually pays, after this app's other offers. For example, with "Spend $2,700, get 10% off": three items at $1,200 with one free through a buy X get Y offer come to $2,400, so the threshold is not met. A cart that still clears the minimum after a volume discount gets both discounts.

  • Only the products the offer covers count, unless it applies to the whole order.
  • A free gift counts as $0.
  • Discounts from other apps and discount codes are not taken off, because the app cannot see them.
  • On a very large cart with many active offers, Shopify's limit on how much work a discount may do can leave some offers uncounted. Those carts count the items at their full price for those offers.

On the storefront

Add the cart estimate block to your cart page to tell shoppers how close they are to the threshold and what they have unlocked.
