# 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
