Discount only items that are paid in full

In this guide, we’ll walk through how to create a discount that only applies when a product is purchased in full — not as a subscription, pre-order, or try-before-you-buy offer.

This is especially useful if you want to run promotions for standard purchases while excluding discounts for products sold through alternate selling plans.

💡 Use Case

Let’s say you want to offer 30% off on a few selected products — but only when the customer buys them outright (i.e., not through pre-order, subscription, or try-before-you-buy).

You can easily achieve this using a Unified Discount rule in the Dollarlabs Ultimate Discount app.

🛠️ Step-by-Step Setup

1. Create a New Discount

   • Go to your app’s Discounts section.

   • Click Create Discount and select Unified Discount.

2. Set Your Discount Name and Value

   • Example: “30% Off – Non Pre-Orders”

   • Set the Discount Type to Percentage and enter 30%.

3. Add Eligible Products

   • Under the Conditions section, select the products or collections you want to the discount to apply on (e.g., Product 1 and Product 2).

4. Add Exclusion Conditions

   • Add another rule to ensure the discount only applies when the item is not sold through a selling plan.

   Selling plan = false

   • This means the discount will apply only if the product is not part of a subscription, pre-order, or try-before-you-buy purchase.

5. Save and Activate

   • Click Save and activate the discount.

   • That’s it! Your discount will now automatically exclude any line items purchased through a selling plan.

⚙️ Why This Works

By default, Shopify’s native discount engine does not apply on Pre-orders or Try Before You Buy purchase options.

Using Dollarlabs Unified Discount, you can precisely control these conditions and ensure your discounts only apply where intended — whether for one-time purchases, pre-orders, or bundled offers like BOGO.

✅ Example Scenario

• Offer: 30% off selected products

• Condition: Only if not part of a subscription or pre-order

• Result:

  • 🟢 Customer buys the product normally → Discount applies

  • 🔴 Customer buys the product as a subscription or pre-order → Discount is skipped

---

🔍 Tip

You can use this same logic to build smarter rules — for example, to:

• Give discounts only for one-time purchases

• Exclude all pre-orders from BOGO offers
