Spend Threshold Bonus for Shopify — Discount When Customers Spend More

How it works

You pick a collection, set a minimum spend amount, and choose a discount percentage. When a customer's subtotal for items in that collection reaches the threshold, the discount applies to all items from that collection automatically.

The customer sees the savings appear at checkout as soon as they cross the threshold. No discount code needed — it just happens. And only items from the target collection count toward the threshold and receive the discount.

💰 Example: "Spend $150+ on Designer Collection, Get 15% Off"

You have a premium designer collection where items average $60-$120. You want to encourage customers to buy 2-3 pieces instead of just one. Setting a $150 threshold with a 15% discount makes that third item almost irresistible.

🛒 Shopping Cart — Designer Collection · THRESHOLD REACHED: 15% OFF

Cashmere V-Neck Sweater$95.00$80.75

Tailored Wool Trousers$85.00$72.25

Total (subtotal $180 — threshold met!)$180.00 $153.00

✓ Customer spent $180 (above $150 threshold) and saved $27.00. Without the threshold incentive, they might have only bought one piece.

Why this is better than Shopify's native options

Shopify does let you create a "minimum purchase amount" discount, but it applies to the entire cart — not a specific collection. So if you want "spend $150 on the designer collection," Shopify can't do that. A customer could buy $150 of random items and qualify, which defeats the purpose.

With Custom Promos, the spend threshold is tied to a specific collection. Only items from that collection count toward the threshold, and only those items receive the discount. This gives you laser-precise control over which products drive the promotion.
