What is the best tiered discount app for Shopify?
What a tiered discount app does
A tiered discount gives a bigger discount as the cart total grows, for example spend $100, get 10% off; spend $200, get 15% off; spend $300, get 20% off. Stores use it to nudge a shopper to add one more item.
This page covers tiers by cart total. Tiers by the number of units, such as buy 3, save 15%, are quantity breaks: for those, see the best Shopify volume discount apps.
We compared 6 apps. Every competitor fact comes from the app's Shopify App Store listing, checked on November 11, 2026. Prices are per month, in US dollars, and can change.
Shopstack makes Discount Genie, one of the apps on this list. It is listed first, and every app is described from its own listing.
What Shopify does on its own
Shopify has no tier setting. Each amount off discount takes one minimum purchase amount, so you build one automatic discount per tier. These are the desktop steps for spend $100, get 10% off; spend $200, get 15% off, from Shopify's amount off help page (checked November 11, 2026).
- From your Shopify admin, go to Discounts, click Create discount, and click Amount off orders.
- Under Method, choose Automatic discount and enter the title Spend $100, save 10%.
- In the Value section, select Percentage and enter 10.
- Under Minimum requirements, select Minimum purchase amount and enter 100.
- Leave the other order discounts unchecked under Combinations, then click Save.
- Repeat for 200 at 15%. A $250 cart qualifies for both, and Shopify applies the better one.

On an order discount, both the total before product discounts and the subtotal after them must reach the minimum. Shopify also shows shoppers no table of the tiers. For a tier table on your store, or every tier in one discount, you need an app. See tiered and volume discounts for the full walkthrough.
Discount Genie
Discount Genie (by Shopstack, the team behind this guide) puts every spend tier in one discount with its Tiered order type (tiered order discounts). It is rated 5.0 from 50+ reviews on the Shopify App Store. Install it from Discount Genie on the Shopify App Store.
- The standard tiered order discount works on the basic free plan, which covers up to 3 basic discounts.
- Each tier takes a cart subtotal value and a percentage or fixed amount off the whole order. Click Add tier for each bigger step.
- The cart value counts product prices before discounts, taxes and shipping. A tier starts once the cart is above the value you enter.
- The Tiers Table theme block shows the tiers on your store, on every plan (show discounts on your store).

- For tiers by units, use the Volume type (volume discounts).

FAQ
Is there a Shopify app to do tier discounts?
Yes. Discount Genie's tiered order discount holds every spend tier in one discount, and the standard version works on its basic free plan. Kite, Dealeasy, Multiscount and Discount Mix also list tiered discounts on their Shopify App Store listings.
Can Shopify do spend more, save more without an app?
Partly. Each Shopify discount takes one minimum purchase amount, so you build one automatic discount per tier and Shopify applies the best one for the cart. Shopify shows shoppers no tier table.
What is the difference between tiered discounts and tiered pricing?
A tiered discount counts the cart total, such as spend $200, get 15% off. Tiered pricing usually means a lower price per unit as the quantity grows, such as buy 3, save 15%. For that, see quantity breaks and the best volume discount apps.
Can a tier give a free gift instead of money off?
In Discount Genie, gift with purchase is for Shopify Plus stores on the Scale plan, for stores installed since July 15, 2026. Kite, Dealeasy and Discount Mix list gifts at spend goals. See free gift with purchase on Shopify.
Will a tiered discount combine with my discount codes?
It depends on each discount's Combinations setting. A tiered order discount is an order discount, so a code combines with it only when both discounts allow the other's class. See combine and stack discounts.
