How it sells itself

DoubleGuard helps prevent double discounts on products already on sale. Create a percentage discount, and products with a compare-at price higher than their current price are automatically excluded. The discount applies only to regular-priced products, while eligible items receive the percentage you set in Shopify admin.

SDB prevents customers from using discount codes on products that are already on sale, ensuring your promotions do not stack unintentionally and lower your margins. Using Shopify’s compare-at pricing, it automatically blocks coupon codes or automatic discounts when items are already discounted, helping you run controlled, more profitable promotions.

Key points
  • Exclude products already on sale from additional discounts
  • Apply percentage discounts only to regular-priced products
  • Set the discount percentage directly in Shopify admin
  • Stop customers from using discount codes on already discounted products
  • Quick and easy set-up, protect your margins almost instantly
  • Easy management dashboard for your custom discounts
