Offer Combinations

In some cases, you may want your Intelligems offers to combine with other discounts your customers use. For example, you may offer a "Buy more, save more" offer where you get 10% off if you buy 3+ items and that should combine with a $10 Off welcome discount code in Shopify.

In other coses, you may NOT want this offer to combine with other offers. For example, an exclusive VIP Save 25% offer you want to ensure that it doesn't combine with other codes and discounts.

This document describes how to configure each and what the configurations are.

Shopify Combinations

You can read all about how Shopify combines discounts, 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 eqch other. 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.

Intelligems Combinations

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 and discounts you've configured.

Intelligems Combination Logic

When you have 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

Due to a Shopify limitation, product discounts targeting the same cart item will not combine even if they are configured to (roadmapped for Q2 2025)
