Discount codes
Buyers can enter a discount code before they reach checkout. The field sits in the cart drawer footer and again on the cart page, so a code applies while the buyer is still reviewing the order.
Applying a code
- Type a code into the Discount code field.
- Select Apply, or press Enter.
A valid code applies to the cart. The totals and an applied-code row update in place — no page reload. The row carries a remove button so a buyer can take the code off again.

More than one code
Codes stack. Applying a second code keeps the first, subject to whatever combination rules you set on the discounts in your Shopify admin.
When a code doesn't apply
If a code is expired, misspelled, or doesn't match the cart, the field reverts it and shows the message "This code can't be applied to your cart." Nothing is added to the order.
Note: This field is for discount codes. Gift card codes are redeemed at checkout, not here — and per Shopify's rules a gift card can't be used to buy another gift card.
A code applied in the cart carries through to checkout. Buyers can also enter or change codes at checkout as usual.
