The wrong discount or amount is applying

Find out which discount is applying

At checkout, the discounted shipping rate shows the name of the discount underneath it:

  • For automatic discounts made with this app, that's the discount's Title.

  • For code discounts, it's the code.

If the name isn't the discount you're looking at in the app, a different discount is applying. It might be an older duplicate, a Shopify discount or another app's. Find it in Shopify admin → Discounts and deactivate it if it shouldn't be there.

Common causes

Two discounts qualify. Only one shipping discount applies to a rate, and Shopify picks the one that saves the customer the most. A broader discount can win over the one you meant.

A threshold is being met that shouldn't be.

  • Cart subtotal ignores discount codes. Use Cart total if the threshold should be after discounts.

  • Cost of items from collection (subtotal) is also before discounts. Use the (total) version.

The amount looks wrong.

  • Fixed Amount Off can't take a rate below $0. A $25 credit on a $19 rate makes it free, not -$6.

  • Fixed Price leaves cheaper rates alone.

  • Other currencies convert at Shopify's exchange rate, so the amount differs slightly from your store currency. See Selling in multiple currencies.

The discount is on the wrong rate.

  • Cheapest shipping rate picks by price, from shipping rates only (not local delivery).

  • Choose specific rates with a typed (wildcard) name matches any rate containing that text. "Post" matches "Express Post" and "Parcel Post".
