What Shopify does on its own
Shopify covers simple discounts without an app. Each item below links the Shopify page it comes from (checked November 13, 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%.
- Set the value to 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 20%. A $250 cart qualifies for both, and Shopify applies the better one.
