Free shipping and automatic discounts with conditions

Written by Bird Checkout Rules

Updated November 9, 2026

Discount rules add automatic discounts at checkout, such as free shipping over $100, free shipping for VIP customers, or 10% off a product group.

Add a discount

Go to Discounts and select Add rule.
Enter a Name.
Under Conditions, add when it applies, such as Cart subtotal is at least $100 and Customer tag is VIP.
Under What to do, select Add action and choose one:
- Shipping discount: Free, Percent off, Amount off or Fixed price.
- Order discount: a percent or amount off the order.
- Product discount: off All items or the items in a Product group.
Enter the Title at checkout that customers see.
Under Combines with, choose which other discounts it can be used with: Product discounts, Order discounts, Shipping discounts.
Select Save.

Discounts stay a draft until you publish them.

Each discount rule uses one of Shopify’s automatic discounts. The Discounts page shows how many your store uses.
If two shipping discounts don’t combine, only the better one applies.
If a discount is ended in Shopify, it stays ended. Turn the rule off and on again to run it.
