Shopify Discount Stacking
Keep Shopify discount stacking readable before it becomes a margin problem
When multiple campaigns overlap, Atom Discounts helps teams decide which offer should win, what can combine, and how item, order, and shipping behavior should stay predictable.
Campaign overlap
When multiple campaigns run at once, over-discounting happens before anyone notices.
Without priority and limits, overlapping offers combine in ways no one intended — and shoppers find it before your team does.

FAQ
What to know before you install.
What is Shopify discount stacking?
It is the set of rules that decides whether multiple discounts can combine and in what order they evaluate when more than one campaign is eligible.
Does Atom let me control discount priority?
Yes. Atom gives you priority and combination controls so the intended offer behavior is explicit rather than accidental.
Why does stacking affect minimum order thresholds?
Because item-level discounts can change the subtotal seen by later order-level offers, which is why the evaluation order matters.
