# How Smarty Discounts works on Shopify

> Smarty is a Shopify app. After you install it, you open it from Apps in Shopify Admin. You build discounts—product, order, shipping, Combine, codes, Buy X Get Y, and more; they run at checkout when the cart matches what you set. No code required—everything happens in Shopify Admin inside Smarty.

## Dashboard (home)

Open **Apps** → **Smarty Discounts**. The first screen is the **Dashboard**.

<Columns cols={2}>
  <Card title="Create discount" icon="plus-circle" href="/docs/smarty-discounts/create-discount">
    Starts a new discount. A window opens titled **Select discount type**.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Browse use cases" icon="library" href="/docs/smarty-discounts/use-templates">
    Opens the full **Use cases** library (ready-made examples you copy and edit).
  </Card>

  <Card title="Featured use cases" icon="sparkles" href="/docs/smarty-discounts/use-templates">
    Shortcuts to popular templates; **See all use cases** opens the same library.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Discount list" icon="table" href="/docs/smarty-discounts/edit-discount">
    Table of discounts: **Title**, **Status**, **Method** (Automatic, Code, or multiple codes), **Type**, **Combinations**, **Used**. Tabs: **All**, **Active**, **Scheduled**, **Expired**.
  </Card>
</Columns>

Click a **title** in the table to open that discount’s **editor**. The same flow as [Create a discount](create-discount) applies when you edit.

## Settings and Billing

In the Smarty area of Admin (sidebar or app menu):

<Columns cols={2}>
  <Card title="Settings" icon="settings" href="/docs/smarty-discounts/settings">
    Shop-wide options: language, **display currencies**, weight unit, test domain, theme embed.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Billing" icon="credit-card" href="/docs/smarty-discounts/plans">
    Your **plan** gates some discount **types**. **Create discount** shows a badge on rows when an upgrade applies — details in **[Plans](plans)**.
  </Card>
</Columns>

The footer usually links to **documentation** (this site) and **contact** for support.

## Names when you click **Create discount**

These names match the **English** app. If your Admin is in another language, the same rows exist with translated labels.

| **Checkout**                         | Where the customer pays. Smarty’s discount math runs **here**.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |

| **Rule version**                     | Which **version** of the condition picker you see (Standard, Customer/Cart, Company, etc.). Start with **Standard** unless you need more fields.                                                                                                                                                             |
| **Display currencies**               | In **Settings**, which checkout currencies get their own **fixed \$** fields in the editor. Use when you sell in **more than one currency**.                                                                                                                                                                 |
| **Discount tags**                    | **Tags** on the promotion in Shopify Admin (edited in the Smarty sidebar). Used for Admin organization and, on **Shopify Plus**, pairing with **Same-line combine tags** so two product discounts can share one line. See [Discount tags](features#discount-tags) and [Combinations](features#combinations). |

## Shopify checkout order

Smarty runs in **Shopify checkout**, not in the storefront theme. In the current setup, Smarty evaluates at **sort order 2**.

If another app or Shopify discount also affects the cart, always trust the **final checkout totals** and test the full flow there. For storefront messaging and theme embed behavior, see [Storefront and checkout](storefront-theme) and [FAQ](faq).
