How it sells itself

BastionCart helps Shopify merchants review active discounts before weak promotion settings turn into avoidable margin loss. Run a discount audit to find issues like no end date, unlimited usage, broad eligibility, combinable discounts, missing minimum requirements, and unusually deep percentage-off offers.

Review Shopify discount definitions from a read-only dashboard. StackLens highlights overlapping campaign windows, combination-setting signals, upcoming starts and expirations, reported code-usage limits, and automatic-discount capacity. Each finding shows observed evidence and limitations. It doesn't edit discounts or predict which discount will apply to a cart.

Key points
  • Scan active Shopify discounts in one click
  • Review an overall discount risk score
  • Open discount-level findings and recommended fixes
  • Review native and app-backed discount definitions without changing them
  • See overlapping active or scheduled campaign windows with clear evidence
  • Flag asymmetric or mutually enabled combination settings for review
  • Review lifecycle dates, reported usage limits, and automatic capacity

BastionCart and StackLens: common questions
