COMPATIBILITY See requirements in this guide
TECHNICAL DIFFICULTY Zero Code Required

An automatic discount can be absent because of its scope, threshold, status, schedule, rate eligibility, or combination rules. Use the checks below to isolate the cause.

How this feature works

Choose the discount class according to the charge you want to reduce: selected products, the eligible order amount, or an eligible shipping rate. Eligibility conditions are separate from the benefit. Existing Shopify discount-combination rules still apply when another offer or code is present.

Before you begin

Open Apps > Rivio Checkout Customizer in the intended store. Prepare the cart, customer, products, address, or order needed by the example, and check the feature’s supported inputs before activating it.

Worked example: Find why an automatic offer is missing

Example setup: The saved rule and a test cart with a known eligible product or shipping rate.

Troubleshooting steps

  1. Check the selected class: product, order, or shipping. Inspect the corresponding checkout charge.

  2. Open the rule and verify Active status, selected products/rate, amount value, and eligibility conditions.

  3. Confirm the schedule includes the test time and the corresponding Shopify discount is active.

  4. Rebuild a matching cart using the editor’s actual total basis and currency. Test both sides of any boundary.

  5. Remove other test discounts in the demo checkout and retest to isolate combination restrictions.

  6. For shipping discounts, choose a normally eligible target rate; for product discounts, verify the exact selected product scope.

Verify the result

Test case Expected result or verification
Wrong product selected Correct selection and repeat with that product.
Amount exactly at a greater-than boundary It is not eligible until it exceeds the boundary.
Works alone but not with another code Review permitted combinations.

If the result is different

Check What it means / what to do
Benefit missing Confirm the saved Active discount, eligible product/order/rate, schedule, and amount basis.
Works alone but not with another offer Check Shopify’s combination eligibility and the discount’s settings.
Threshold seems wrong Compare below, exactly at, and above the configured operator using the stated currency and total basis.
