Discount Codes in BSS B2B Solution: Setup and Limits

Discount Code is a module in BSS B2B Solution. You create codes inside the app, choose which customers and products each code covers, and buyers type the code into a box on the cart page. The new price shows in the cart before checkout. The module needs the Advanced or Platinum plan.

What Discount Code does in BSS B2B Solution

Wholesale deals often come with a private code: 10% off for approved resellers, free shipping for a trade show list, a spring promotion for buyers with a minimum order. Discount Code lets you run these inside your store without exposing them to retail shoppers.

You create each code in the app and decide who can use it. A buyer enters it in a Discount Code box on the cart page and presses Apply. The app checks the code against the buyer and the cart, then shows the discounted total on the spot. The discount carries through to checkout and shows on the order in Shopify admin.

Discount Code is the last price step in the app's order of rules. A Price List or Custom Pricing rule sets the base price, Volume Pricing applies on top of it, and the code applies on top of that price. The full order is on the product page.

The Discount Codes page lists each rule with who it applies to, its code, how often it was used and its status.

What you can set in a Discount Code rule

A rule page groups its settings into cards. Order discounts and free shipping count the whole cart, so they ignore the product selection.

SettingWhat it does
Name and statusThe name is internal, so buyers never see it. A disabled rule is not applied on the storefront.
CustomersAll customers, logged-in customers, not-logged-in customers, specific customers or customer tags. Any one matching tag is enough.
ProductsAll products, specific products, product collections or product tags.
CodeType your own or click Generate code. Matching is not case-sensitive by default, so SAVE20 also works as save20. Switch case-sensitive on to require an exact match.
Discount typeDiscount applied to eligible products (each matching line), discount applied to the entire order, or free shipping.
Discount valueA percentage from 0 to 100, or a fixed amount.
Minimum purchaseNo minimum, a minimum purchase amount or a minimum quantity of items. The amount is checked against the B2B prices, after Custom Pricing and Volume Pricing.
Usage limitsA total number of uses across all buyers, and a number of uses per customer. An option shows the remaining uses on the cart page, for example 5 discount codes remaining.
ExclusionsExclude specific customers or customer tags, for example buyers who already have negotiated prices. An exclusion wins over the targeting.
Active datesA start date and time, and an optional end date and time. The fields use your browser's time zone.
Shareable linkA link that applies the code for a buyer who meets the conditions, then sends them to a page you pick. The cart is the default.
Box design and translationsStyle the code box (colors, sizes, borders, layout) and translate its header, button and messages for each language.

How do I set up a discount code for wholesale customers?

The setup has two parts: put the code box on your cart, then create the rule.

  1. Switch the module on

    In the app go to B2B orders & discounts > Discount Codes and toggle the module on. Also check that the B2B Solution app embed is on in the theme editor under App embeds. The code box needs it.

  2. Add the code box to the cart

    Click Storefront setup and add the Discount Code app block to your cart page. If your theme needs it, the page also shows how to add the Discount Code file to the theme by hand. Add a product to the cart and open the storefront to confirm the box appears.

  3. Create the rule

    On the Discount Codes page click Add rule. Give it an internal name, type a code or click Generate code, then pick the discount type and value. The right-hand panel on the rule page checks that the rule is saved and enabled, the module is on, the app embed is on and the box is in your theme.

  4. Choose who and what it covers

    In Customers pick customer tags to limit the code to wholesale buyers. In Products pick all products, specific products, collections or product tags. Add a minimum purchase amount or quantity if you want one.

  5. Add limits, exclusions, dates and a link

    Cap total uses and uses per customer. The per-customer cap is not available when the rule applies to all customers or to not-logged-in customers, because the app cannot count guests. Pick logged-in customers, specific customers or customer tags to use it. Exclude customers by tag or by name, set the start and end dates, and tick Generate a shareable link for this discount if you want one. Open the link in a private window as a matching customer to check it applies the code and lands on the page you picked.

  6. Test as a buyer

    Log in as a test customer who matches the rule. Enter the code with a cart under the minimum, then over it. Then try a customer who does not match, and confirm the message each time. When the rule is live, open More actions > Usage history to see which customer used which code and when.

Example: a 20% code for tagged customers

Example rule: code VIP20, discount applied to eligible products, 20%, for customers tagged vip, all products, 500 total uses, 3 uses per customer, 30 days. The figures are made up to show the logic.

BuyerWhat happens
Logged-in customer with the vip tag, cart of $300, enters VIP20Each eligible line drops 20%, so the cart shows $240, and a green message says the code was applied.
Logged-in customer without the vip tag, enters VIP20The box shows Failed to apply this discount code, please try another. No discount applies.
Any vip customer after the 500th useThe box shows Discount code applied failed. Code limit reached.
A free-shipping code (type: free shipping) for the same tagLine prices stay the same. The box shows the code with Freeshipping beside it, and shipping is removed at checkout.

The messages above are the defaults. You can change and translate most of them in the Discount Code settings. The limit-reached message is fixed. If a rule shows remaining uses, any refusal reads Discount code is no longer available.

What the buyer sees at the cart

The buyer types the code and clicks Apply. A valid code appears as a badge under the box, for example 20_PERCENT_OFF (-20%), with a button to remove it. The cart shows the discounted line prices next to the struck-through ones.

A free-shipping code changes no line price. Only the badge shows, and the shipping charge is removed at checkout.

A valid code shows a green confirmation and a badge with the code and its percentage.

What happens when a code cannot be used

When a code fails, the box says why. A minimum that is not reached shows the required minimum and lists the items counted, so the buyer knows what to add. Codes that are expired, outside the buyer's group or past their limit show a short refusal message.

Test these states before a campaign. Check one buyer under the minimum, one outside the target group and one after the usage cap, so you know what your customers will read.

A minimum purchase that is not met shows the required amount and the products that count toward it.

How Discount Code works with other BSS B2B Solution modules

Pricing rules. The code applies to the price after Custom Pricing or a Price List, and after Volume Pricing. Example: a line that costs $76 after Volume Pricing costs $60.80 with a 20% code.

Shipping. When a free-shipping code, Extra Fee and Shipping Rate all match, only one shipping result applies: the code wins, then an Extra Fee free-shipping tick, then the Shipping Rate.

Customer tags. Customer tags drive the targeting, so a tag added by a registration form or by auto-tagging can switch a code on for that buyer.

Manual Orders. When you build a draft order in the app, you can pick a Discount Code rule. It is checked against the products in the order.

What are the limits of Discount Code?

Advanced or Platinum plan

Discount Code is part of the Advanced and Platinum plans. The Free and Essential plans do not include it.

Separate from Shopify discount codes

Codes you create here do not appear in Shopify Admin, and Shopify codes do not appear here. The app tells you a code made here will not work in the discount field at Shopify checkout. Shopify codes typed at checkout work only when Shopify discount is on under Settings > Shopify checkout settings. It is off by default.

Express checkout and direct links

The code is applied when the buyer clicks Checkout on the cart page. Buy it now, express checkout buttons and direct checkout links can skip it. The app hides Buy it now while price rules are active, but only when the app embed is loaded. Test the full path on your theme.

Not at POS

Discount Codes are not applied at Shopify POS. BSS B2B Solution covers Custom Pricing, Price Lists and quantity breaks there.

Per-customer limit needs a known customer

The per-customer limit is not available when a rule applies to all customers or to not-logged-in customers, because the app cannot count a guest's uses. Target logged-in customers, specific customers or customer tags instead.

Needs the code box in your theme

Buyers see the box only when the app embed is on and the Discount Code block is in the cart. Most themes show it once the block is added. If yours does not, the Storefront setup page offers help from support at no charge.

One rule, one code

Each rule holds one code. For a second code, such as a free-shipping code beside a percentage code, add a second rule.

Which plan includes Discount Code?

Discount Code is on the Advanced and Platinum plans of BSS B2B Solution. On the Shopify App Store listing, as of October 10, 2026, Advanced is $49 per month and Platinum is $99 per month, with 10% off on yearly billing. The listing shows a 14-day free trial on paid plans. Every app feature is free on development stores, so you can build and test the rules first.

Use cases that pair with discount codes

Customer tags decide who gets a code, and the minimum purchase decides when it applies. Browse all use cases.

Frequently asked questions

Which plan do I need for discount codes?

Advanced or Platinum. Discount Code is included in those two plans, and the Free and Essential plans do not include it. Development stores can use every app feature for free, so you can build and test your rules before you pick a plan.

Are these the same as Shopify discount codes?

No. They are a separate system inside BSS B2B Solution. A code you create in Shopify Admin does not appear in the module, and a code created in the module does not exist in Shopify Admin or work in the Shopify checkout discount field. Buyers enter these codes in the box on the cart page.

Can I make a code that only wholesale customers can use?

Yes. In the rule, set Customers to customer tags and pick your wholesale tag. Buyers without the tag see a refusal message when they enter the code. You can also limit a code to logged-in customers or to named customers, and exclude customers by tag.

Can a buyer skip the code by going straight to checkout?

Yes, it is possible. The code applies when the buyer clicks Checkout on the cart page. Buy it now, express checkout buttons and direct checkout links can skip it. The app hides Buy it now while price rules are active, but express checkout buttons your theme adds can still skip the code, so test your own checkout paths.

Do discount codes work in Manual Orders or at POS?

In Manual Orders you can pick a Discount Code rule on the draft order, and the app checks it against the products in the order. At Shopify POS they are not applied. There, BSS B2B Solution covers Custom Pricing, Price Lists and quantity breaks.

What does the buyer see when a code does not work?

The box explains the reason. If the cart is under the minimum, it shows the required minimum and the items counted. An expired or non-matching code gets a short refusal message, and a code past its usage cap gets a limit-reached message. You can edit and translate most of these messages.
