Can Multiple Promotions Apply Together?

Understand when and how multiple Ezhance promotions can apply to the same order.

Yes — multiple promotions can apply to the same order, but whether they do depends on the type of promotions and your Discount Strategy settings.

Product Promotions and Cart Promotions Are Independent

The most important thing to understand: product-level promotions and cart-level promotions operate independently and can both apply to the same order simultaneously.

  • Product promotions (Simple Discount, Bulk Discount, Buy X Get X, Buy X Get Y) change individual product prices
  • Cart promotions (Cart Discount) change the cart total after products are priced

A customer can receive a 20% product discount AND a $10 cart discount on the same order without any conflict.

Multiple Product Promotions

When multiple product promotions match the same product, the Product Discount Strategy in Ezhance → Settings controls the outcome:

StrategyWhat Happens
Biggest DiscountOnly the largest available discount applies
Smallest DiscountOnly the smallest available discount applies
Stack AllAll eligible discounts apply sequentially

Multiple Cart Promotions (Pro)

When multiple cart discounts are eligible, the Cart Discount Strategy controls the outcome:

StrategyWhat Happens
Stack AllAll eligible cart discounts apply together
Best Discount OnlyOnly the highest-value cart discount applies
Best Discount + Free ShippingBest cart discount + any free shipping promotion
Free Shipping OnlyOnly free shipping promotions apply

Example: Product + Cart Promotions Together

Setup:

  • Promotion A: 20% off T-Shirts (product promotion)
  • Promotion B: $15 off orders over $100 (cart promotion)

Result: The customer gets 20% off T-Shirt prices AND $15 off the cart total — both promotions apply because they target different things.

Recommendation

For most stores, use Biggest Discount for product promotions and Best Discount + Free Shipping for cart promotions. This ensures customers always get the best available discount without unexpected discount stacking that could affect your margins.

If you want to allow stacking intentionally (e.g., a loyalty discount on top of a sale discount), set the Product Discount Strategy to Stack All — but test carefully to confirm the combined discounts are still profitable.
