WHAT IS IT?
A Product Spend Discount rewards customers who spend a certain amount on a specific product, not the whole cart. When the customer spends on a qualifying product that exceeds a defined threshold, a discount applies to that product.
This is different from a Tiered Spend (Cart-level) campaign, which looks at the entire cart total.
HOW IT WORKS
The Campaign checks how much the customer has spent specifically on the selected product(s). Once they cross the threshold, the discount applies.
Example: Spend $100+ on Crossbody Bags → get 15% off those bags.
Cart: 1× Crossbody Bag ($89.99) → qualifying spend = $89.99 → below $100 → no discount
Cart: 2× Crossbody Bags ($179.98) → qualifying spend = $179.98 → above $100 → 15% off → −$26.99 → pay $152.99
WHEN USE IT
- Reward high spend on one SKU: Spend $150+ on wallets → 20% off wallets
- Volume incentive (value-based): Spend $200 on accessories → 15% off
- Product-category promotion: Spend $75+ on bags → $10 off
- Repeat buyers: Give a bigger saving to customers who spend more on the same product
STEP BY STEP: CREATE A PRODUCT SPEND DISCOUNT
Scenario used in this guide:
Goal: Spend $100+ on Vintage Crossbody Bags ($89.99 each) → get 15% off.
Step 1: Go to Create Campaign
From the Discount Prime sidebar, click Campaigns → Create Campaign.
Step 2: Choose Campaign Type
Click the Product Spend Discount card.
[
Step 3: Name Your Campaign
Enter a name like: Crossbody Bag – Spend $100, Save 15%
Step 4: Select Products
Click Browse products and select the product(s) the spend threshold applies to.
Only purchases of these products count toward the threshold.
Step 5: Set the Spend Threshold
Under Minimum Requirement:
- Minimum type: Amount ($)
- Minimum value: $100.00
This means the customer must spend at least $100 on the selected product(s) for the discount to apply.
Step 6: Set the Discount
Choose the discount type and value:
- Percentage (%): e.g., 15% off
- Fixed Amount ($): e.g., $15 off
Step 7: Schedule (Optional)
Set a start and/or end date.
Step 8: Save the Campaign
STEP BY STEP: VERIFY THE CAMPAIGN WORKS
Test scenario:
Campaign: Spend $100+ on Vintage Crossbody Bag ($89.99 each) → 15% off
Verification:
Cart: 1 Bag ($89.99) → qualifying spend $89.99 → below $100 → no discount
Cart: 2 Bags ($179.98) → qualifying spend $179.98 → above $100 → 15% off = −$26.99 → pay $152.99
Cart: 1 Bag + $50 of other items → qualifying spend = $89.99 (Bags only) → below $100 → no discount
Step 1: Add One Unit (Below Threshold)
Add 1 Crossbody Bag ($89.99). Qualifying spend = $89.99 — below the $100 threshold.
No discount should appear.
Step 2: Cross the Threshold
Add a 2nd Crossbody Bag. Qualifying spend = $179.98 → above $100.
A discount line should appear: −$26.99 (15% of $179.98).
Step 3: Verify Non-Campaign Spend Does Not Count
Add a non-selected product (e.g., $80 Backpack).
Total cart = $259.98, but only the Bags qualify for the threshold.
With only 1 Bag in the cart ($89.99 < $100), no discount fires even though the total cart is above $100.
Step 4: Test with a Product Discount Running
If another product discount is active on the same product, check whether the spend threshold uses original prices (Before mode) or post-discount prices (After mode), depending on your execution order setting.
TIPS & COMMON MISTAKES
Only the qualifying product spend counts: Other products in the cart do not contribute to the threshold, even if they are in the same category or collection.
Threshold is based on total line amount: For 2× $89.99 bags, the qualifying spend is $179.98 (quantity × unit price), not just the unit price.
Execution order matters when combining: In the Before mode, the threshold is checked against original prices. In After mode, any existing product discounts on those items reduce the qualifying spend.
