Fixed amount off per currency

Overview

When running a multi-currency or multi-market Shopify store, standard fixed discounts can behave unexpectedly.

For example:

• You create a $10 USD off discount

• A customer checks out in Canada

• Shopify automatically converts $10 USD → CAD

• The final discount value changes based on exchange rates

This is the default Shopify behavior and works well in many cases — but it breaks down when you want precise, market-specific pricing.

To solve this, DollarLabs introduces Currency-Specific Discounts using a new discount type:

Fixed Amount per Currency

This allows you to define exact discount values per currency, without relying on automatic conversions.

What Is “Fixed Amount per Currency”?

Fixed Amount per Currency lets you specify how much discount should apply in each currency, independently.

Example:

• 🇺🇸 United States → $3 USD off

• 🇨🇦 Canada → $3 CAD off

• 🇮🇳 India → ₹300 INR off

Each customer sees the correct discount based on their checkout currency, not a converted value.

Supported Discount Types

This discount type works across all unified discount categories:

• Product discounts (per item)

• Order discounts

• Shipping discounts

The behaviour remains consistent—only the discount amount changes based on currency.

How It Works at Checkout

The discount automatically adapts based on the customer’s market and checkout currency.

Example:

• Customer selects a Canada shipping address → Discount shows $3 CAD off per unit

• Customer adds 2 units → Discount becomes $6 CAD

• Customer switches to US → Discount instantly updates to $3 USD per unit

• Customer switches to India → Discount updates to ₹300 INR per unit

No conversion math. No rounding issues. No surprises.
