Shopify Functions lets developers customize the platform to fit each store's needs better. The Hulk VolumeBoost app now uses Shopify Functions, which makes the app's functionality compatible with Shopify native Checkout, while offering more discount options. This update makes integration easier and gives merchants new ways to attract and keep customers.

New Features for Enhanced Discounts

Our app’s latest update introduces two exciting new discount options: Buy X Get Y and Bundle Discounts.

Buy X Get Y Discounts

The Buy X Get Y feature is similar to the popular Buy One Get One (BOGO) deals. This option allows merchants to offer free gifts or discounts when customers purchase specific products. For example:

  • Purchase two lipsticks and get a free eyeliner.
  • Buy a specific product and get another at a 50% discount.

This feature provides a great way to increase sales and clear out inventory while offering customers added value.

Bundle Discounts

Bundle Discounts offer customers a discount when they purchase a combination or group of products. For example:

  • Buy a shirt, jeans, and a hat to enjoy a 25% discount.
  • Purchase a bundle of products with a set discount, up to a limit of 50 products per bundle.

This feature encourages customers to buy more items at once, boosting average order value.

Improved Integration and User Experience

One significant improvement in this update is the ability for merchants to switch from the legacy app to the new functions-based app easily using a button, ensuring flexibility and ease of use. However, merchants need to contact support to switch back to the legacy app if needed.

Additionally, the discount box settings have been upgraded. While the legacy app only offered discount boxes on the cart page, the new functions-based app allows discount boxes to appear at checkout, providing a more streamlined shopping experience for customers.

Compatibility and Limitations

While the new functions-based app offers many benefits, there are a few limitations to be aware of:

  • Shopify Functions cannot generate more than five active offers at a time.
  • The new functions-based app is not compatible with the Hulk Product Options app, as it relies on Draft Order API logic. 

Conclusion

The introduction of Shopify Functions in our app marks a significant step forward in offering more discount options for merchants. With features like Buy X Get Y and Bundle Discounts, merchants can create more attractive offers for their customers, ultimately driving sales and increasing customer satisfaction. By integrating Shopify functions, we’re making it easier than ever for merchants to tailor their discount strategies to fit their unique needs.
