Key Features & Functional Overview
DiscountWisp integrates directly with your Shopify store to bring powerful, rule-based discount automation and campaign control — without requiring Shopify Plus, theme edits, or code customizations.
It leverages Shopify-native APIs and Functions under the hood (no tech knowledge required) to ensure fast, secure, and scalable discounting that fits any kind of merchant — from small retail stores to large wholesale businesses.
This guide will walk you through how DiscountWisp operates at its core by breaking down the key features that power your discount workflows.
Campaign-Based Discounting
At the heart of DiscountWisp is the Campaigns Engine — a system that lets you launch targeted discount offers across products, collections, or customer groups, complete with a defined start and end time.
Core Benefits:
- Group multiple discount rules into one campaign
- Schedule campaigns in advance (great for seasonal sales or product launches)
- Reuse and edit campaigns without creating conflicts
- Track campaign status: draft, active, upcoming, or expired
Discount campaigns support a wide variety of discount types (discussed below), giving you flexibility without requiring multiple apps or overlapping logic.
Customizable Customer Tiers
DiscountWisp allows you to segment your customers into tiers — each with its own eligibility and access to specific discounts.
Tier Features:
- Tiers are linked to Shopify customer tags
- You can create unlimited custom tiers (e.g., “Resellers”, “VIP Customers”, “First- Time Buyers”)
- Assign tiers manually or automatically through customer classification
- Campaigns can be limited to one or more specific tiers
This is powerful for offering exclusive pricing , bulk deals , or loyalty incentives without revealing these prices to your entire customer base.
Auto & Manual Customer Classification
DiscountWisp includes a built-in classification system for customer onboarding — especially useful if you need to approve access to special discounts.
The Workflow:
- Customers request classification via a storefront form (name, business info, tax ID, etc.)
- The merchant can: a. Auto-approve based on predefined criteria (e.g., order history, volume projections) b. Manually review and assign a tier
- Once approved, the customer is tagged and assigned to a tier
- Discounts apply automatically based on tier eligibility
This helps manage access to special pricing securely and efficiently — ideal for wholesale or B2B use cases, or VIP segmentation.
Discount Types & Logic Control
DiscountWisp supports multiple discounting styles , allowing you to structure offers based on pricing models , order volume , and product strategy.
Supported Discount Types:
Type | Description |
---|---|
Fixed Amount Off Discount | Apply a fixed amount off the original product price — e.g., "$10 off any unit", regardless of its original price. |
Fixed Percentage Discount | Apply a percentage-based discount, optionally with a cap |
MOQ Discount | Apply a discount only when the customer orders a minimum quantity |
Volume Ladder Discount | Offer progressive discounts based on quantity thresholds (e.g., 5%, 10%, 15%) |
Each discount rule can be tied to:
- Specific Products or Collections
- Selected Customer Tiers
- A Discount Campaign (with start & end date)
Rules are stackable within a campaign, and the system ensures conflict-free discount prioritization.
Tax Exemption Sync with TaxWisp (Optional)
For merchants selling to tax-exempt buyers (e.g., wholesalers, nonprofits, resellers), DiscountWisp offers optional integration with TaxWisp , which handles:
- Collection of exemption certificates
- Validation and tagging of exempt customers
- Real-time tax exemption application during checkout
You can enable or disable this integration in your store settings, and the sync ensures:
- Tax is exempted for eligible customers
- Your store remains compliant with tax rules
- No manual tagging is needed everytime
Product & Collection Targeting
During campaign creation, you can:
- Include or exclude specific products
- Target entire collections
- Apply different discount rules to different product sets
This enables precise targeting like:
- “20% off Winter Collection for VIP Customers”
- “MOQ-based discount only on bulk SKUs”
- “Volume ladder discount on clearance inventory only”
Smart Campaign Editing & Versioning
If a campaign is already running and the seller edits it:
- DiscountWisp automatically splits the campaign o The current version remains for the historical period o The edited version becomes an upcoming campaign
This ensures:
- No live campaign is abruptly changed
- Campaign analytics remain accurate
- Sellers can confidently adjust campaigns mid-way
Dashboard & Insights
After your first campaign is published, the DiscountWisp dashboard becomes available. It shows:
- DiscountWisp Campaigns Overview
- Customers Overview
This high-level view helps you monitor performance, act on customer requests, and optimize your sales strategy.
Store Settings
From the settings panel, you can:
- Enable/disable auto-approval for customer classification
- Configure email settings (sender addresses, alerts)
