Mix & match set discounts require the cart to contain a specific combination of items before anything is discounted. The editor exposes:
Per-entry quantity counts the total matching items across the cart — same variant or mixed. One entry is allowed (for plain “any N of X” deals); up to 10 are supported.

Discount code rejection (rules)
Use Discount code rejection when a campaign should decline redeeming certain codes instead of granting money off:
This type hides discount value, combinations, and ordinary discount method switches; Shopify still surfaces the automation as an automatic discount in Admin. Detail: Discount code rejection — Plans describes billing tiers.
Strategy
This section controls how the discount behaves after the right items or customers are matched.Apply method
For product discounts, Apply method controls how lines are grouped:Limitations
Common limitation controls include:Free shipping
Free shipping can appear on Product, Order, and Buy X Get Y discounts. It is shown inside different sections depending on the type.
Eligibility for discount
Eligibility for discount controls who can get the offer and what must be true about the whole cart or customer. Examples:- customer tag = wholesale
- logged-in customer only
- cart subtotal over a threshold
- country, market, or company restrictions
Maximum discount uses
- Total uses — Cap how many times the code can be redeemed.
- Once per customer — Let each customer use it only once.
Recurring payments
This section appears after Maximum discount uses when Purchase type is Subscription or Both. Use it to decide whether the discount affects the first payment only, multiple payments, or a limited number of billing cycles.Discount tags
In the editor sidebar, the Tags card edits Shopify discount tags stored on this promotion (DiscountAutomaticApp / DiscountCodeApp tags in Admin—the same notion as tags on other Shopify discounts).
- Search and pick — Suggestions come from discount tags already used in your store (Admin read discounts data). You can also add new tags by typing and confirming.
- Why use them — Tags help you organize and filter discounts in Shopify Admin. They also power Same-line combine tags when you allow product discounts to stack on a single cart line (Shopify Plus — see Combinations).
- Internal tag — Smarty keeps a hidden internal tag on save so the app can recognize its discounts. You do not need to add that tag yourself; it does not appear in this field.
Combinations
Controls whether this discount stacks with other product, order, and shipping discounts already in Shopify.Product, order, and shipping
Use the checkboxes to allow combining with product discounts, order discounts, and (when applicable) shipping discounts. The card can summarize how many other discounts might stack with this one at checkout and link to a list—always verify real carts in checkout.Same-line combine tags
Shopify Plus only. Normally only one product discount applies to a single cart line. When Product discounts is enabled under Combinations, Same-line combine tags appears. Add one or more tags that must pair with Discount tags on another product discount so both product discounts may apply to the same line:- Each discount lists tags in Same-line combine tags that must appear as discount tags on the other discount.
- Example: Discount A lists
SEASONALhere and is taggedLOYALTY; Discount B listsLOYALTYhere and is taggedSEASONAL. Then A and B can both apply to one line when both otherwise qualify.
Active dates
Start and end control when Shopify may apply the discount. Respect your store timezone.Time period
Restrict when the discount is active to certain days of the week and time windows.Test mode
Marks the discount as test so you can validate rules without treating it as a live campaign. This often works with a test email domain in Settings.Debug button
When shown, Debug helps you inspect why the current discount does or does not apply for a cart.Duplicate and shareable link
- Duplicate — Clone settings to tweak a new campaign.
- Shareable link — For automatic discounts, Shopify may expose a URL you can copy for email or landing pages.
