New: Automatic Discounts

Diamond only

We’re making it easier for your customers to save with automatic discounts! Now, when you create a discount, you’ll see an option to make it automatic—meaning it will apply directly at checkout without the buyer needing to remember to add a code!

Here’s how it works: our system will automatically check for any active automatic discounts and apply the best one for your customer at checkout. This ensures they always get the highest-value discount available, with no extra steps. You can customize your discounting strategy with a mix of automatic and manual codes, and your customers can still swap out an automatically applied code for a better manual code if they prefer.

On our Diamond plan already? You can create new automatic discounts or convert existing discount codes to automatic by editing them in the discounts section of your shop admin.

Not yet on Diamond? If you want to get access to this new feature to boost your sales, as well as all the other Diamond exclusive features, upgrade now!

Improvement: Single-use discount codes

Paid plans only

You asked, we listened! Now you can restrict your discount codes to one use per customer (based on email address). We’ve also included a detector for people trying to use the “+” trick to reduce abuse.

This will come in super handy for creating new subscriber discounts or flash sales and works for all coupon types!
