Payment method discount

A payment method discount gives a discount to shoppers who agree to pay with the payment methods you choose, for example 5% off prepaid orders instead of cash on delivery. It is on every plan, including the basic free plan.

How it works #

Shopify's discounts can't see the payment method, so Discount Genie asks the shopper first:

1. When the cart meets your conditions, a button appears next to the cart's checkout button.
2. The shopper clicks it. Discount Genie marks the cart and opens checkout.
3. At checkout the discount applies, and the payment methods your rule leaves out are hidden.

A shopper who uses the normal checkout button pays full price and sees every payment method. Discount Genie only hides payment methods. It doesn't rename or reorder them.

Create the discount #

1. In Discount Genie, create a payment method discount. The page is titled Create payment method discount.
2. In Target payment methods, choose the payment methods (see below).
3. In Discount target and values, pick Order, Product or Shipping.
4. Choose Percentage or Fixed amount. Shipping also offers Custom rate and lets you pick which shipping rates to discount. You can set a maximum amount to discount.
5. Optional: add cart conditions, such as a minimum subtotal. Order discounts can also exclude products.
6. Click Save.

Choose the payment methods #

Set Condition, then pick methods under Payment methods. The picker lists the methods your store offers.

• Includes: only the listed methods earn the discount. Shoppers who take the offer see only those methods at checkout. Example: Bank Deposit.
• Excludes: every method except the listed ones earns the discount. Shoppers who take the offer don't see the listed methods. Example: Cash on Delivery (COD).

Show the button on your store #

In Customize store experience, write the Button label and any Additional text, and style the button. If the page shows Please activate the app in your theme, click Go to theme editor and turn on the Payment Method Discount app embed. The button needs it.

Limits #

• One per store. A store has one payment method discount. Creating a new one opens the existing discount.
• Credit cards in the US and Canada. On stores outside Shopify Plus there, Shopify doesn't let apps hide credit card options, so a rule that leaves out cards can't hide them.
• Combinations. Shopify's combination rules still decide which discounts stack. See Combine (stack) discounts.
