Create Your First Discount
Build a simple Shopify discount as a visual workflow
For the first workflow, use one condition and one reward. Once the result is correct, you can add customer, market, product, or delivery logic.
Example outcome
This guide uses a simple promotion brief: apply a percentage order discount when the cart subtotal reaches a threshold.
Build the workflow
Create a discount
Open DiscountLab and choose Create Discount. Select the Order discount class for a reward applied to the order subtotal.
Add the condition
Add a Branch after Initial. Configure a cart-subtotal condition with the threshold from the promotion brief.
Configure the reward
Connect the True output to a Rule. Choose a percentage action, enter the discount value, and target the order subtotal.
Add merchant-facing details
Give the discount a recognizable title. Review customer eligibility, start/end dates, and permitted combinations.
Save as draft first
Resolve every validation error before activation. A draft gives you time to verify the workflow without intentionally making it available to customers.
Do not test only the happy path
Use one cart below the threshold and one exactly at the threshold. Boundary cases expose many configuration mistakes.
Next step
Continue with Test and Activate.
