Can I set up a '$5 off' discount that only applies to my 'Skincare' collection?

I'm running an e-commerce store selling beauty and skincare products, and I want to create a targeted discount specifically for my Skincare collection. I need to understand how to set up a precise $5 off discount that only applies to certain products, without impacting my entire store's pricing. My goal is to drive sales in this specific product category while maintaining control over my promotional strategy and preventing unintended discounts across other collections.

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Yes - create an 'Amount off order' discount, set the value to $5, and under 'Applies to,' select 'Specific collections' and choose your Skincare collection. The $5 discount will only apply when skincare products are in the cart.

Creating a $5 Off Discount for a Specific Collection

Collection-scoped fixed discounts let you run targeted promotions on specific product lines without affecting your entire catalog. This is useful for clearing slow-moving inventory or promoting seasonal collections.

Step-by-Step Setup

StepAction
1. Discount typeDiscounts > Create discount > Amount off order
2. Value$5
3. Applies toSpecific collections > Skincare
4. Code or automaticCode: SKINCARE5 for targeted campaigns / Automatic for all visitors
5. Minimum (optional)Set $25 minimum if you want to prevent $5 off a $6 item

Important Nuance

A collection-scoped "Amount off order" discount deducts $5 from the total order - not just from skincare items. If a customer has $30 of skincare and $70 of other items, the $5 discount applies to the overall $100 total. To discount only within the collection, use "Amount off products" instead of "Amount off order" and scope it to the collection.

Collection-Targeted Campaigns

Growth Suite's Trigger Campaigns can detect when a visitor is browsing your skincare collection and surface a collection-specific offer ("$5 off skincare today only") only to walk-away customers. This targets the right audience - people browsing skincare who need a nudge - without broadcasting the discount to your entire visitor base.
