Can I use discount codes with Bundle Builder?

Discount codes can be added through your Shopify admin space to create fixed value, percentage, or shipping discounts on products, collections, or variants in your store.

However, due to limitations on the Shopify draft orders platform:

✅  Discount codes can be applied to Single SKU Bundles.

❌  Discount codes cannot be applied to Multiple SKU Bundles.

Restrictions on Draft Orders

The reason discount codes are not possible with Multiple SKU Bundles is because - unlike Single SKU Bundles - this bundle type uses Shopify's system of draft orders.

Shopify does not allow discount codes to be applied to any draft orders, and this unfortunately includes all third-party apps which rely on draft orders to function. This is therefore an obstacle which many third-party apps face when using draft orders - not just Bundle Builder.
