Create Cart Discount
A cart discount rewards customers with a discount off their total cart when they reach a certain spending value or product quantity threshold, motivating customers to spend more and more.
Setting up a Cart Discount offer with BOGOS app includes the 9 steps:
On the Menu, open All Offers > Create Offers > Discount Offer > Cart Discount.
Set up maximum discount uses (optional).
Add sub-conditions (optional).
Custom discount code & discount combination (optional).
Click Publish.
Customize the widget display & congratulation message.
1. Set up Offer Information
This section sets the basic information for your Cart Discount offer.
To set it up, fill in these fields:
1.1. Offer name
For internal use only, helping you identify and manage multiple offers within the BOGOS app.
1.2. Offer title
The display title that introduces this discount to your customers.
1.3. Block description (optional)
Add extra details to clarify or highlight the offer.
1.4. Start and End time (optional)
Schedule when the offer goes live and when it ends. If left unchanged, the offer will be automatically active after publishing.
1.5. Show countdown timer (optional)
Enable a countdown timer on the widget to motivate customers to buy before the offer ends.
This option is disabled by default. It becomes available once you set an End time or enable Recurring time.
Without Recurring time, the countdown runs based on the End time.
When Recurring time is set, the countdown runs based on each recurring session's End time (in days).
1.6. Recurring time (optional)
Enable the offer on a repeating schedule within its active period, ideal for daily flash sales, weekend promotions, or monthly campaigns. When enabled, the active period's End time is automatically synced with the recurrence end date.
To set it up, configure the following:
1.6.1. Frequency
Select how often the offer repeats: Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
Daily: The offer runs every day within the chosen time window.
Weekly: The offer runs on selected days of the week.
Monthly: The offer runs on a specific day each month. If you select day 29, 30, or 31, the offer will repeat on the month's last day if that date doesn't exist.
1.6.2. Start time (in day) / End time (in day)
The daily time window when the offer is active during each recurring session (e.g., 09:00 to 11:00). Times are set to your store's current timezone.
1.6.3. End recurring when
Choose when the recurrence stops.
No end date: The offer keeps recurring until you manually deactivate it.
On date: The offer stops on a specific date. If you already set an End time, this field defaults to that date, but you can still change it.
After N times: The offer stops after it has run a set number of times.
When created with Recurring time enabled, the offer appears with Scheduled status so you can track upcoming runs.
If an offer expires while a customer is still in the checkout process, the discount is automatically removed, and products are charged at their original price.
2. Define Offers Apply to Which Products
This setting controls which products in the cart count toward the discount condition and are eligible for the discount.
To set it up, select one of the following options:
Any products: apply discount to all products in the cart.
All except selected products: apply discount to all products except specific ones you choose.
All except selected type/vendor/collection: apply discount to all products except those in a specific type, vendor, or collection.
Selected products: apply discount only to specific products you choose.
Selected type/vendor/collection: apply discount only to products in a specific type, vendor, or collection.
3. Set up Maximum Discount Uses
This section lets you limit how many times the discount can be claimed in total or per customer, useful for running time-limited or exclusive discounts.
To set it up, enable one or both of the following:
Limit number of times this discount can be used in total: Set a maximum number of times the discount can be redeemed across all customers (e.g., first 100 uses).
Limit to one use per customer: Ensure each customer can only redeem the discount once.
For logged-in customers, BOGOS checks their account usage. If they’ve reached the limit, the Cart Discount widget will be hidden, and the discount won’t be available.
For guest customers, the widget stays visible, and the discount can be applied in cart. However, at checkout, Shopify will check their email’s past orders. If the email has reached the limit, the discount is removed automatically.
4. Add Sub-conditions
Sub-conditions are optional to set up, but they can add extra rules to decide who can see and get your offers. Therefore, only targeted customers can see and apply the offer, while others won't see it at all.
Specific link address – Apply offers to customers accessing your store from a specific link. Perfect for email campaigns, social posts, or affiliates.
Order history – Target customers based on purchase behavior. Best for rewarding first-time buyers, high spenders, and more.
Customer tags – Show or hide offers based on customer tags.
Customer location – Run country-specific promotions based on the customer’s IP address.
Markets – Run region-specific offers based on your Shopify Markets.

5. Set up Discounts & Tiers
This section allows you to create discounts that encourage customers to buy more. You can set a single discount or use tiered discounts (spend more, save more) to reward higher spending.
If in the Offers section, you have selected All except selected products, All except selected type/vendor/collection, Selected products, or Selected type/vendor/collection, choose how the discount is applied:
Apply discount to entire order: Deduct the discount from the total cart value, including non-eligible products.
Apply discount only to eligible products: Deduct the discount only from the eligible products in the cart.
To set it up, fill in these fields:
Select the Discount by to choose how the discount is triggered:
Cart value: Based on the total cart value (e.g., spend £100).
Cart quantity: Based on the number of items in the cart (e.g., buy 5 items).
Select the Discount type:
Percentage: Deduct a percentage of the total cart value (e.g., 10% off).
Amount: Deduct a fixed amount from the total cart value (e.g., £10 off).
Add tiers to create a tiered discount for “spend more, save more” offer (optional).
Configure each tier by filling in the following fields:
Cart value required / Cart quantity required: The minimum cart value or quantity a customer must reach to unlock this tier's discount.
Discount value: The % or fixed amount to deduct when this tier is reached.
Max discount amount (if choosing percentage discount): Set the maximum savings a customer can get (e.g., 10% off, max $10).
Label text: A label displayed on the widget to help customers better understand this discount tier (e.g., "Buy $100 get 5% OFF").
If you choose Cart value or Fixed amount discount or Max discount value, and also use Shopify Markets, you can “add currency” and customize the money amount to each market, instead of using Shopify’s exchange rates (e.g., SGD 10, CN¥8, A$12).
6. Custom Discount Code
By default, BOGOS auto-generates a random discount code (e.g., BOGOS-XSJSC) for the discount. This code is auto-applied in the customer's cart.
However, you can replace that auto-generated code with a custom name that fits your strategy (e.g., SUMMER20). To do this, fill in the Custom discount code field.
7. Combine with other discounts
By default, BOGOS Cart Discount will work with any other discounts. To prevent combining, you can untick the option you want:
Product discount: Combine with product-level discounts
Order discount: Combine with order-level discounts
Shipping discount: Combine with shipping discounts
