WHAT IS IT
Discount Prime is a Shopify app for building and managing automatic discount campaigns, from simple product sales to volume tiers, wholesale price ladders, BOGO offers, and free-shipping incentives. Discounts apply at checkout automatically (no coupon code required), and the app displays the savings right on your product and cart pages so customers see the value before they buy.
This guide takes you from install to your first live campaign in three steps, then shows you how to verify everything is working on your storefront.
WHEN TO USE IT
- Launch your first sale: install the app and create a campaign
- Show savings to shoppers: enable the storefront app embeds
- Confirm discounts are live: verify the discount on your storefront
- Pick the right campaign type: use the campaign type guide (see Related)
STEP-BY-STEP: SET UP DISCOUNT PRIME
Step 1: Install Discount Prime
Find Discount Prime on the Shopify App Store, click Install, and approve the requested permissions. The app is added to your Shopify admin under Apps, no coding or theme edits required at this stage.
Step 2: Create Your First Campaign
a. Open the Campaigns page
Open Discount Prime from your Shopify admin and go to Campaigns → Create Campaign.
b. Choose a campaign type
Pick the campaign type that matches your promotion, for example Flat Product Discount for a straightforward sale. Not sure which to choose? See the Related section below.
c. Configure the discount
Fill in the campaign form:
- Discount type: percentage (%) or fixed amount ($)
- Discount value: e.g. 20% off
- Target products: the products or collections the campaign applies to
- Schedule & conditions (optional): start/end dates, minimum quantity, customer eligibility
d. Save
Click Save. The campaign goes live immediately (or at the scheduled start time). From here, Discount Prime applies the discount to the right products automatically, nothing else to manage by hand.
Step 3: Enable the Storefront Display (App Embeds)
To show discounts to your customers, turn on Discount Prime's app embeds in your theme.
a. Open your theme editor
In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes, then click Customize on your active theme.
b. Open the App Embeds section
In the theme editor's left sidebar, open App Embeds (the plug icon) and find the Discount Prime embeds:
- Product Price: highlights quantity/volume discounts on product pages
- Saving on Cart: shows the total amount saved in the cart
c. Enable and save
Toggle each embed ON, then click Save. Your discounts are now visible where they matter most, the product page and the cart.
STEP-BY-STEP: VERIFY EVERYTHING WORKS
Step 1: Open Your Store
Go to your Shopify storefront in an Incognito tab (or a browser where you're not logged in as admin).
Step 2: Add a Discounted Product to Cart
Add a product that's included in your new campaign.
Step 3: Check the Cart
In the cart you should see:
- The product subtotal
- A discount line (e.g. −$6.00)
- The reduced total
If the discount line and product badge both appear with the correct amounts, your setup is complete.
TIPS & COMMON MISTAKES
- No discount on the storefront? Make sure the campaign is active (not a Draft) and that the product is actually included in the campaign.
- Savings not displaying? Re-check Step 3, both the Product Price and Saving on Cart app embeds must be toggled ON and the theme Saved.
- Testing while logged in? Some themes cache admin sessions. Always verify in an Incognito tab.
- Wrong variant selected? If a campaign targets a specific variant, other variants of the same product won't be discounted.
YOU'RE READY TO GO!
Congratulations , Discount Prime is set up and your first campaign is live. Now you can focus on what matters most: growing your business and delighting your customers.

MINI FAQ
