How to Combine Discounts: Supported Scenarios and Examples

To ensure your marketing campaigns run as effectively as possible and your customers get the best shopping experience, it is crucial to understand which discounts can be applied simultaneously and which ones are mutually exclusive. For instance, you can easily combine a specific product discount with a free shipping coupon, but applying two shipping promo codes to a single order won't work.

The table below provides a clear breakdown of discount combination rules, covers available scenarios (including exclusive options for Shopify Plus), and illustrates how they work with concrete examples.
