How do I apply a discount to a checkout upsell?
To achieve this, we'll add a Shopify Script in 3 steps. No need for an engineer!
Step 1: Go to the official Shopify Script Editor App (https://apps.shopify.com/script-editor)
Click ‘Create Script’ > Choose the type of script you’re adding. For this example we'll choose between a percentage (%) off a product or amount ($) off a product discount. Select one and click ‘Create Script’. Name your Script.
Step 2: Add the script
Now we’ll add a small code snippet.
For a % off discount (10% in this example):
For a $ amount off discount ($5 in this example):
If you’re not familiar with code, this will do the following:
IF the item added to the cart has “upsell_id” as a property
THEN apply a discount and display the message ‘Upsell Discount’ for the discount code when this product is added to cart
The “upsell_id” is added by the app to all items that get upsold, so we can track your upsell analytics.
Step 3: Save and publish the script
Click 'Save and publish' in the script editor. Your discount is now live.
Customizing the discount
In this script, you can control:
1) The $ or % of the discount:
%: line_item.line_price * 0.90 = show product at 90% of it's price
$: line_item.line_price - Money.derived_from_presentment(customer_cents: 500) = 500 cents, so enter the cents you want to discount the product
2) The upsell message: Replace the "Upsell Discount" with your preferred discount code
If you already have existing campaigns running with Shopify Scripts, you can add this script just below it.

end
end
Output.cart = Input.cartFor a $ amount off discount ($5 in this example):
Input.cart.line_items.each do |line_item|
if line_item.properties.has_key?("__upsell_id")
line_item.change_line_price(line_item.line_price - Money.derived_from_presentment(customer_cents: 500), message: "Upsell Discount"))
end
end
