Asking for a friend:

Does anyone know how to offer a discount that applies only when Bitcoin is the payment method in Shopify?

This is vital. The only way to make bitcoin attractive to the masses is to pass along a discount to consumers for paying in bitcoin. This should be justified by the savings on transaction fees you get from opting out of credit card payment processing.

I spent several days obsessed with this and tried to vibe code it but couldn’t. Maybe nostr:nprofile1qqsfkqxhx5447shdrxq0c6dl4dgu8aq4hhnp0qqtgn8wyddzy7f5cwcpp3mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7qguwaehxw309ahx7um5wgkhyetvv9ujuamvweejuumsv93k2mwrs7a came build w plugin for this?

You should be able to create a condition - bitcoin being used - and then it gets applied.

Let me know if someone helps you with this. I’d be happy to send some days their way if they build it.

Sounds like a lot of people are looking for this option

I have a book I sell on Shopify and I’d like to offer a discount of 21% off applied when people pay with sats. I’m using nostr:nprofile1qqsfkqxhx5447shdrxq0c6dl4dgu8aq4hhnp0qqtgn8wyddzy7f5cwcpp3mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7qguwaehxw309ahx7um5wgkhyetvv9ujuamvweejuumsv93k2mwrs7a and I tried to vibe code a solution using Claude and ChatGPT but couldn’t pull it off. I’m not a developer so this isn’t a huge surprise.

My guess is this is a very simple plugin that can be made to do this: the condition is “paying with bitcoin” and then the discount is applied. That’s all you need.

I’ll be happy to pay someone in sats to build this, but also they could charge a merchant like me a fee in fiat on the Shopify plugin directory.

I’m sure others here would want this.

Zaprite has the feature for adding an extra % charge for paying in fiat.

There is only client integration in Shopify, No bitcoin based payment processing service in the Shopify backend. Shopify is still debt based e commerce world where the assumption that you actually have money to run your business with is a fallacy. It is basically designed to trick people into advertising on google facebook, Kind of an accuracy through volume strategy where you can count on stupid people scrolling on their couch to buy stuff they don’t need. Very little consideration for capital efficiency. LNBITS is the closest thing to a bitcoin store and that only offers custodial wallet solutions. Really wish there was a btcpay server integration for LNBITS to send payments directly to cold storage. I think I saw a section for a reduced price sale event in the Shopify platform, I think it would be a way to offer a bitcoin discount. When you are clicking through it is the very last page when you are checking out, Where on other sites you enter your card information that you have the option to pay in bitcoin. I think open node is the client Shopify uses most to integrate bitcoin payment. Whole thing is a debt based e commerce scam designed to make people take on debt in my opinion. Stupid people will buy anything. I was going to sell products featuring my art and realized how much money I was going to waste advertising instead of stacking. The “clear web” is a surveillance platform designed to sell people things they may or may not need and should be approached with skepticism.

My brother in grape vats, while we don’t do discounts for specific payment methods, we do offer satsback when customers pay with bitcoin through Shopify. It’s the next best thing, and just the tip of the iceberg for the awesome Bitcoin-related features we offer via Shopify and more.

Dude I’m right here

Discount? Do a fiat surcharge!

Use a Shopify discount code and share it only with your Bitcoin/Lightning customers. Or offer a 'Sats Back' reward instead of a discount, it encourages repeat business and stacks stats for your customers.

It's a good thought but not exactly what he's looking for

Could you have it as two separate products and the payment method is tied to it. Product A fiat payment and same product B just with pay in btc button, no classic add to cart?

Could you than implement this btc product B as an upselling card below the “add to cart” button on the A page so that users know about it

This could become a pain in the ass to maintain though, especially if you want correct automated inventory

Yes but definitely not
