How do I limit or block discount codes at checkout?
Limit and block discount codes on Shopify
Short answer: Shopify lets a customer use up to 5 product or order discount codes and 1 shipping code on one order, and has no setting to lower that number. Each discount's Combinations settings control stacking. To block every code during a sale, cap codes per order, or allow one influencer code, use an app with code rejection rules.
Why won’t my discount code apply with another discount?
Combine and stack discounts on Shopify
Shopify discounts don't combine by default. Which combinations every store gets, why a code won't apply with another, and how discount groups stack.

How do I set up buy more, save more pricing?
