Tiered Discount Campaign Setup Guide

For example discount goals at USD 80 and USD 120, test USD 79.99, 80, 100, 119.99, and 120. In this tutorial, an example 10% reward replaces an example 5% reward at the higher tier. Use BlueCart for the progress display and verify the configured Shopify discounts at checkout.

Try the storefront example

Change the sample cart amount. Test a value below each goal, exactly at the goal, and above it. Reduce the value to check that the message returns to the earlier state.

Storefront example

This example uses BlueCart storefront code with sample data and the settings below. Your theme’s fonts and available width can change the result. Example links show their destination; purchase controls use a sample cart. Use the checks below to confirm the finished setup in your store.

Build it in BlueCart

Open BlueCart and create a progress bar campaign. Give it a name that identifies the offer.
Set measurement to By cart value before discount. Add the goals and messages listed below. Keep {remaining} in the progress message so BlueCart calculates the gap.
In Display options, choose Progress bar only for desktop and mobile. Use a white container with medium rounded corners and blue progress colour (#2563eb).
Save and publish the campaign. Enable the BlueCart app embed in your theme. Add the BlueCart app block at the intended location and select this campaign. For a custom placement, use the campaign’s generated shortcode.

For a custom BlueCart placement, replace YOUR_CAMPAIGN_ID with the ID from your saved campaign. Keep the app embed enabled.

Example settings

Goal 80: 5% discount. Bottom progress message: Add {remaining} to reach this goal. Completed message: 5% discount goal reached.
Goal 120: 10% discount. Bottom progress message: Add {remaining} to reach this goal. Completed message: 10% discount goal reached.

Sample data and content

Use these values for a test. Replace them with checked product data, published destinations, and offers that your store can supply.

Eligible amount USD	Reached tier	Message draft	Intended reward	Test purpose
79.99	None	Add USD 0.01 to reach the first goal	No tier discount	First boundary below
80	First	First goal reached; next goal at USD 120	Example 5% discount	First boundary equal
100	First	Add USD 20 to reach the next goal	Example 5% discount	Between tiers
119.99	First	Add USD 0.01 to reach the next goal	Example 5% discount	Second boundary below
120	Second	Top goal reached	Example 10% discount; replaces first	Second boundary equal

Do higher discount tiers replace or combine with lower tiers?

Write down whether the second reward replaces the first or combines with it. The example assumes replacement: the higher tier is the intended reward. Configure Shopify discounts and combination settings to match that intention. Do not add two percentages in the message unless checkout actually grants that combined result.

Document the eligible cart amount and the intended reward for every tier. Confirm the offer is viable for your margins.
Configure the actual discounts and their combination behaviour in Shopify before writing final campaign copy.
Create the matching BlueCart milestones and use clear next-goal and top-goal messages.
Run every boundary row with the same products and destination, then repeat with a discount that could conflict.

Read the BlueCart setup guide for the full app controls and placement options.

Check the finished setup

Drop from the top tier to the first tier and confirm that the lower reward and message are restored.
Check the actual discount amount and title at checkout rather than reading only the cart badge.
Test whether an existing discount prevents the intended tier reward and revise the message if needed.

Common mistakes

Do not imply that displaying several milestones creates the corresponding discounts.
Do not describe replacement tiers as cumulative rewards when only one discount applies.

Supported use

These examples cover progress messages and cart recommendations. A displayed milestone does not prove that checkout grants a reward. Confirm the actual shipping rate or discount with a test order, including cart changes and competing discounts. Sample amounts are teaching examples, not recommended thresholds or revenue forecasts.

BlueCart features, current app plans, and Shopify discount combinations explain the supported setup.
