3-5 Function slots required

Discount Ninja uses Shopify discount functions to apply discounts to the checkout. Discount Ninja requires three (five if subscription products are present) functions to work correctly: a product discount, an order discount and a shipping discount.

Those functions are set up automatically by the app upon installation. With those functions the app can run an unlimited number of offers.

Shopify limits merchants to a maximum of 25 automatic discounts / function discounts. If insufficient slots are available for Discount Ninja to create three discount functions, the app will fall back to using the Draft Order API for checkout, which is suboptimal.

Some stores are not configured to allow for functions or for (function) discounts to combine. If your store does not allow for such discounts, contact Shopify Plus support and request more information about the Discount Extensibility feature.

Integration

Custom checkout logic

If your storefront contains logic that is executed when the checkout button is clicked you may need to use our JavaScript API to add the logic to the checkout pipeline.

Limitations

Shopify's native automatic discounts

Discount Ninja is not able to detect the combination settings of discounts applied by Shopify's native automatic discounts.

We therefore recommend to run all automatic discounts using Discount Ninja promotions.

Non-standard Shopify checkout

Apps that redirect to a non-standard Shopify checkout are not compatible with Discount Ninja since Discount Ninja requires discounts to be applied on the standard Shopify checkout. Examples: apps that redirect to a multi-currency checkout or apps that redirect to a subscription product checkout or apps that create upsells on a separate checkout flow.

Product options apps

Product options apps typically hide option products in the cart (e.g. SC Product Options). The option products are then bundled with a parent product and the price is combined. Combining product bundles with Discount Ninja promotions results in an incorrect cart line item price when products with options are discounted.

Dynamic Pricing limitations

Dynamic Pricing (our capability to show discounted prices on the home page, product page, collection page, the cart and drawer cart) may not be able to show discounted prices on:
