Shopify clearance discount.
50% off, capped at $200 per cart.

A Shopify clearance discount is a margin trade you make on purpose: aggressive 50% off stock that's costing you to hold. The mistake is letting that uncapped Shopify clearance discount leak onto premium inventory mixed into the same cart. Scope by collection, cap by order.

    Why a Shopify clearance discount needs collection scoping

    A storewide Shopify clearance discount that applies to the cart subtotal is a 50% discount on premium items dropped into the same cart, full stop. With Nex Discount's collection scoping, the Shopify clearance discount only computes on line items inside the Clearance collection — premium SKUs in the same cart sit at full price. Customers happy, mixed-cart margin protected.

    02

    Cap the Shopify clearance discount to stop dead-stock arbitrage

    Without a cap, a single buyer could clear an entire pallet through your Shopify clearance discount in one $1,200 cart at $600 of give-away — exactly the customer you don't need to subsidize. Capping the Shopify clearance discount at $200 means the deepest discount per order is bounded; the next cart starts the cap fresh.

    03

    Pair the Shopify clearance discount with inventory-aware automation

    Pair the Shopify clearance discount with Shopify's inventory triggers — when a SKU's stock hits zero, exclude it from the rule automatically. Stops the awkward 'sold out but still on sale' state on your clearance collection without manual SKU babysitting.
