Creating offers

A bigger discount on the first delivery

Run a deeper intro discount on delivery one and your standard discount after it, priced by Shopify on every renewal.

Tick Bigger discount on the first delivery to run a larger intro discount on delivery one and your standard discount on every delivery after it. This is the classic "50% off your first box, 15% off after that" offer.

Where to find it

Under Offers → Create an offer, below the delivery frequencies.

How to set it up

  1. Set the standard discount

    Choose the discount type and Value that applies to every delivery after the first.
  2. Turn on the intro discount

    Tick Bigger discount on the first delivery.
  3. Enter the first-delivery value

    Enter the amount under First delivery: percentage off (or First delivery: amount off for a fixed discount). It uses the same discount type as the standard discount.
  4. Create the offer

    Pick your products and click Create offer.

How it is priced

The offer is built with two price policies rather than one: the first delivery uses the intro value, and every later delivery uses the standard value. Because both live on the selling plan itself, Shopify does the arithmetic at checkout and on every renewal. There is no discount code to leak, expire, or be applied to the wrong order.

Example

What the shopper sees

The product page shows the first-delivery price in the headline and the ongoing rate on the subscribe option. The cart and checkout show it as "First payment X, then Y", so the shopper knows the ongoing price before they buy, not after their second charge lands.
