Offer Combinations

Introduction

You'll have full control over whether your Intelligems Offers combine with other discounts or stand alone.

When you want offers to stack: For example, you might create a Quantity Discount Offer (10% off when buying 3+ items) that you want to combine with a $10 welcome discount code. This gives customers both benefits and creates a compelling reason to purchase more items.

When you want offers to be exclusive: For example, you might create a VIP Save 25% Offer that should never combine with other promotions—ensuring your most valuable discount remains exclusive and preventing over-discounting.

This guide explains how to configure stacking behavior for each Offer and what each configuration means for your customers.

Shopify Combinations

You can read all about how Shopify combines discountsarrow-up-right, but it's quite complicated and nuanced. The gist is that you largely control when you want discounts to combine or not and that's controlled in Shopify.

When you create a discount in Shopify, you'll see these options. If you have a discount you don't want to combine with others, don't check these boxes!

When Intelligems creates discounts in Shopify they are created as "Product Discounts"

In order for 2 discounts to combine, they must both be set to combine with other discounts. So, for your Intelligems discount to combine with a Shopify discount, both must be set to combine. If either are not, they won't stack and the most favorable for the customer will be chosen by Shopify.

Options

When you create a discount in Intelligems, you can set these combination options as well and we will let Shopify know how to combine the discount.

  1. Combines with Shopify Discounts – When this is selected, you're essentially setting the above Shopify Combinations to true. Note: This must be enabled for it to combine with other Intelligems discounts, too.

  2. Combines with Intelligems Discounts – When this is selected, this discount may also combine with other Intelligems Offers you've configured.

Intelligems Combination Logic

When you have enabled the combination logic within Intelligems, we choose the most beneficial discount for the customer.

Imagine an example:

  • Discount A: $5 off, combines

  • Discount B: 10% off, combines

  • Discount C: $25 off, does not combine

Since Discounts A and B combine, we'll sum those together, and then compare that total discount versus all the other non-combining discounts.

  • Cart 1: $100 subtotal = Max(5+10,25)=25Max(5 + 10, 25)=25

  • Cart 2: $300 subtotal = Max(5+30,25)=35Max(5+30, 25)=35
