Shopify Updates: 

What's New in the Discounts CSV Export?

Shopify has updated the 'Discount Class' column in the discount CSV export to provide merchants with better clarity on how discounts are applied. This new change ensures more precise insights into discount strategies and their effects on your business.

What Values Are in the 'Discount Class' Column?

Each discount can now fall under one of these clearly defined categories, making it easier to analyze discount applications:

  • order - The discount applies to the total order value.
  • product - The discount applies to specific products.
  • shipping - The discount applies to shipping costs.
  • multiple - The discount can apply across products, total order value, and shipping.

Why This Update Matters

Here are the business benefits of this update:

  • Better Data Analysis: Gain improved clarity and insights into which discounts drive the most value.
  • Enhanced Reporting: Access more detailed data for tracking the performance of your discount strategies.

What You Need to Know

If you use automated tools, scripts, or external systems to process discount CSV files, consider updating your processes to accommodate this new 'Discount Class' column. However, don’t worry—your existing workflows will continue to function without interruption.
