How it sells itself

Shopify's native percentage discounts have no way to set a maximum discount amount. A "20 percent off" promotion on a $2,000 item gives $400 off — even if you intended a $50 cap. DiscountLock adds a maximum dollar cap to percentage discounts. Set your percentage and cap amount, and the discount is automatically clamped at checkout. Caps can apply per item or per order.

Sales and limited drops often attract bulk buyers who eat into your margins. This app caps the discount, not the purchase. Set rules like 10% off up to 5 items per order, or limit the total discount to $20 per purchase. Beyond the limit, customers simply pay full price, and the purchase is never blocked.

Key points
  • Set a dollar limit on any percentage discount to protect your margins.
  • Choose whether the cap applies to each line item or the entire order.
  • Same familiar discount settings you already know, with the cap built in.
  • Create discounts based on the quantity of items in the cart.
  • Create discounts for products with purchase quantity limits.
  • Create discounts for products with a discount amount limit.
  • Similar to native discount features, it is easy to set up and manage.
