Plans and billing
8 questions
How much does DiscountRay cost?
There is a free plan. Growth is $14.00 a month or $134.40 a year, and Pro is $29.00 a month or $278.40 a year. Paying annually saves 20%.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Starter plan is free, with quantity discounts and tiered pricing.
How many automatic discounts can I run?
As many as you need. Every plan, including the free Starter plan, runs unlimited automatic discounts.
Is there a free trial?
Growth and Pro both include a 14-day free trial.
What does Growth work out at per month if I pay annually?
$134.40 for the year comes to $11.20 a month.
Is the annual saving a limited-time offer?
No. Paying for a year costs 20% less than paying month to month. That is how the two billing cycles are priced, not a promotion that expires.
Can I get a refund?
There is a 30-day money-back guarantee.
What currency am I billed in?
All charges are in USD and recur every 30 days through Shopify.
Setup and installation
6 questions
Do I need to change my theme?
The discount widget renders through the DiscountRay app block, which you add to your theme once. On themes that do not support app blocks, the widget has no defined place to appear.
How do I find the price class for my theme?
Open a product page, right-click the price under the product title and choose Inspect. The developer tools open with the element selected — copy its class and paste it into DiscountRay’s settings.
What does DiscountRay work with?
The Shopify App Store listing names Shopify Checkout, Shopify Admin, Shopify Functions, Shopify Markets, Multi Currency, PageFly, and MultiVariants – Bulk Order.
What languages are supported?
The app interface is available in 8 languages. This website is available in 7.
How do I translate the widget text?
In the DiscountRay dashboard open App Settings, choose your language from the menu at the top right, enter your text and save.
How do I remove the tutorial video thumbnail?
The video appears on the Create New page. At the bottom of the video panel choose “Don’t display again” and it will not come back.
How the discounts behave
14 questions
Do shoppers have to enter anything?
Not for five of the six discount types — they apply on their own once you have configured them. Discount codes are the exception, because a code is something the shopper types in at checkout.
What are unique discounts per variant?
It lets you set a discounted price on individual variants instead of one flat discount across the whole product. You assign a selling price per variant rather than calculating percentages, and you can vary it by quantity range.
What can a personalized discount be targeted on?
A specific customer, a customer tag or list, a country, a cart value, or order history. This is the engine to use for B2B and wholesale pricing.
How do milestone offers work?
You set thresholds in ascending order, either by order value or by item quantity, and attach a reward to each one.
Can I reward with a free gift or free shipping instead of money off?
Yes. Bundle discounts, personalized discounts and milestone offers can all give a free gift or free shipping as the reward.
What does the exclude tag option do?
When a discount applies broadly — all products, a collection, a tag, a vendor or a type — exclude tags let you leave specific products out of it.
Can a discount run only for a set period?
Yes. Bundle and personalized discounts both take active dates, so an offer can start and stop without you remembering to switch it off.
Can a discount code stack with an automatic discount?
Yes, and the two do not simply add up — they compound. DiscountRay shows the combined result as you set the value, so a pair of modest discounts does not quietly become a large one.
Does that combined figure include discounts from other apps?
No. It accounts for the discounts DiscountRay manages. It cannot see discounts created by other apps on your store.
Can I stop a discount combining with others?
Yes. Bundle and personalized discounts each carry a setting for whether they may combine with product, order or shipping discounts.
Why isn’t my customer-specific discount applying?
Discounts targeted at specific customers or customer tags need the shopper to be signed in, so they may not resolve at guest checkout. For those cases use a discount code instead.
How many discount codes can I generate at once?
Bulk generation produces up to 100,000 codes in a single batch, and you can export the batch as CSV.
Can a single-use code be passed around?
A personalized single-use code is checked twice at checkout: the buyer’s email must match the address the code was issued to, and the code must not have been redeemed before. Both checks run at the discount-evaluation layer, not only in the admin.
Do discount codes expire?
You can set codes to expire after a period of inactivity.
