Breathe in Detroit review for ADU: Automatic Discounts

Nov. 24, 2018

I used this app during Black Friday to set up some basic rules for applying discounts based on cart amounts, something Shopify cannot do natively. It's important to understand that app works as s set of triggers to apply discount codes that you create in Shopify, so you have to combine the trigger with how you setup the discount - for example, by setting minimum purchase amounts in the discount itself, etc., as well as defining it in the app rule. It can be a little tricky to get it all set up correctly, and you'll want to do test carts, etc to make sure it's doing what you want. We had a little trouble getting the discount to trigger even though the correct cart amount was reached. The app owner was super responsive and even installed some code during Black Friday to make sure it was working correctly. He also helped with some basic troubleshooting during our sale. My only suggestion would be to put some of the info I learned through direct support into the app documentation/help section - like the example of putting the minimum purchase amount in the discount as well as the app rule. I would definitely use the app for future sales now that I know more about how it works.
