You can either configure <strong>automated discounts<\/strong> on your store OR you can allow<strong>your customers to apply their discounts manually<\/strong> with discount codes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, you can combine multiple discounts on Shopify and make it as a part of your <a href=\"https:\/\/wholesalehelper.io\/blog\/shopify-loyalty-programs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shopify loyalty program<\/a>. Doing this will encourage your customers to shop more frequently on your store and build a lasting relationship with your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With so much competition in the ecommerce industry, store owners need to find creative ways to display and market their brands on the Internet to quickly capture the attention of potential customers.

But the most important part is setting the rules carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before launching any combined discount, check the discount type, combination settings, customer eligibility, minimum purchase rules, and final margin impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For regular stores, discount combinations can help increase conversions and average order value. For wholesale stores, they should be used more carefully because wholesale pricing already includes lower margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need more control over customer-specific pricing, volume discounts, or wholesale-only discount rules, using a Shopify wholesale pricing app can make the setup easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-notification stk-block-notification stk-block stk-ed10439 is-style-default\" data-v=\"2\" data-block-id=\"ed10439\"><style>.stk-ed10439 {margin-bottom:0px !important;}.stk-ed10439-container{background-color:#f0e7fa !important;}.stk-ed10439-container:before{background-color:#f0e7fa !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-block-notification__content stk-content-align stk-ed10439-column stk-container stk-ed10439-container stk-hover-parent\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-ed10439-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-9eb3326\" data-block-id=\"9eb3326\"><style>.stk-9eb3326 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:17px !important;}@media screen and (max-width: 1023px){.stk-9eb3326 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:17px !important;}}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text has-text-align-center\"><span style=\"color: #0f0e17;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">When native B2B is not enough, <strong>Wholesale Pricing Discount<\/strong> is the next step.<\/span><br><span style=\"color: #259b00;\" class=\"stk-highlight\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.shopify.com\/wholesale-pricing-discount?utm_source=wsh-blog&amp;utm_medium=wpd-cta-button&amp;utm_campaign=wpd-app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Try our Wholesale Pricing Discount app for free <\/a>!<\/strong><\/span><br><span style=\"color: #000000;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Trusted by over <strong>16,000 <\/strong>Shopify merchants<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-larger-font-size\"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutena-accordion gutena-accordion-block gutena-accordion-block-0399f0-2f is-layout-flow wp-block-gutena-accordion-is-layout-flow\" data-single=\"true\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutena-accordion-panel gutena-accordion-block__panel\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutena-accordion-panel-title gutena-accordion-block__panel-title\"><div class=\"gutena-accordion-block__panel-title-inner\">\n<h6 id='can-you-combine-discounts-on-shopify'  id=\"boomdevs_19\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px\"><strong>Can you combine discounts on Shopify?<\/strong><\/h6>\n<div class=\"trigger-up-down\"><div class=\"horizontal\"><\/div><div class=\"vertical\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutena-accordion-panel-content gutena-accordion-block__panel-content\"><div class=\"gutena-accordion-block__panel-content-inner\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\">Yes.
