Spend tiers: bigger discounts for bigger orders
Reward customers for adding one more item: 10% off from $100, 15% off from $200. Apply the tiers to the whole order or only to selected products and collections, and show progress toward the next tier right in the cart.

- Spend tiers, 10%-$17.20
The problem
An order discount in Shopify has one minimum purchase amount. 10% off from $100 and 15% off from $200 means two discounts kept in step, and shoppers can’t see how close they are to the next step.
How diex solves it
- One spend tiers discount holds every threshold, on the whole order or only on selected products and collections.
- The progress block in the cart shows the tier reached and the amount left to the next one, and updates as the cart changes.
- A fixed bar can follow the shopper on every page, and hides itself while the cart is empty.
What you get
Several tiers, one discount
Choose percentage or fixed amount for the discount, then give each tier a threshold in your shop currency and its own value.
Whole order or scoped
Discount the whole order, or count and discount only selected products and collections.
Progress in the cart
The spend tiers progress block shows the tier reached, the amount left to the next one and a milestone bar that updates after every cart change.
A bar that follows the customer
The fixed progress bar sits at the top or bottom of every page and hides itself while the cart is empty.
How to set it up
- 1
Create a spend tiers discount, as a code or automatic.
- 2
Add thresholds and the discount each one unlocks.
- 3
Choose the whole order or the products and collections it covers.
- 4
Add the spend tiers progress block to your cart, or turn on the fixed bar under App embeds.
Common uses
- Nudge past a shipping threshold
- Pair a spend tier with your free shipping threshold so every nudge has a reason.
- Event weekends
- Run "spend more, save more" over a holiday weekend and schedule it to end on its own.
- Category pushes
- Scope tiers to a collection to grow one category without discounting the rest.
Questions
Which currency are thresholds in?
Thresholds are amounts in your shop currency. The progress blocks hide themselves when a customer shops in another currency, so they never show a wrong amount.
What if I run more than one spend tiers discount?
Each progress block has a "Discount to show" setting. Left empty, it shows the active automatic whole-order spend discount worth the most at the current cart total.
