Scroll down to Offer promotion > Discount > Enabled
Select discount type : a. Fixed amount b. Percentage off
Set the discount value

⚠️ Note



Discount offers will only be applied to product recommendations during checkout. Under normal circumstances, like when browsing the home or product detail page, standard pricing will be shown.
The discount will be applied to all the products selected for checkout upsell and cross-sell under the “Product settings”.
The discount will be applied to the original product price.
If the discount amount is greater than the product price, an error message will display in admin.

Show different types of discount offers and how they will appear to customers



You can choose between two types of discount offers to apply to your checkout product recommendations.



A. Percentage off: the price of the product is reduced by a chosen percentage

Example: If a product costs $100, 20% off of that product would mean subtracting 20% from the original price.

i.e., $100*20% = 100*0.20 = $20

$100-$20 = $80

B. Fixed amount: the price of the product is reduced by a chosen amount

Example: If a product costs $100, $20 off of that product would mean subtracting $20 from the original price.

i.e., $100-$20 = $80

⚠️Note



After setting up the discount offer for checkout upsells and cross-sells under AfterShip Personalization’s Offer promotion, you must also set up the Shopify script with the offer ID for the discount prices to be applied in the recommendation widget during checkout.
Only Shopify Plus supports Shopify Scripts.
