Automatic Discounts On POS Only
under review

Aleeza Paris
I would like to request the development of a feature that allows for automatic discounts to be applied exclusively on the Shopify POS for in-store purchases, without these discounts being available to online customers.
The Automatic Discounts created in this app should have the option to select the channels as the image below so i can select Point Of Sale only.
Thanks ton

We would also LOVE to create a discount that would only be applicable for in-store purchases (POS). We're just going live in Shopify Plus in two days, but our in-store customers have enjoyed a discount they only receive by coming in for over 30 years. We've found a clunky way to make it work, but unfortunately, a savvy customer could figure out the same discount could be applied online. Fingers crossed Tobe that you can make this happen.

Kristi Hunter: Thank you for taking the time to write this comment! If you have a GitHub account, please take a moment to upvote this discussion thread to bring it to Shopify's attention:
If you don't have an account, please share the link with your developers.
Currently, we are completely deadlocked and cannot implement this feature unless Shopify makes these limits more flexible. The way the Shopify Functions API works, merchants like you pay the price for features you're not using, which greatly limits the types of discounts you can create.
Best,
Tobe

This may become possible in the future. Shopify has just added a
retailLocation
API that will allow discount apps to check whether the customer is using the POS or not.However
, there are specific restrictions in Shopify that prevent us from adding this right now.If you'd like to see this implemented, please upvote and comment on this GitHub discussion (or send it to a developer you know) to raise it to Shopify's attention:
If no changes are made to how the Shopify Functions input query complexity limit works, then we will not be able to implement this feature, despite the demand.
Thanks,

It is possible to create a discount that only applies on the Online Store, but not on POS:
- Create a discount in our app
- Go the built-in "Discounts" page in the Shopify admin dashboard.
- Select the discount in question.
- Click "Unpublish from sales channels."
- Unpublish it from the "Point of Sale" channel.
However, you cannot do this in the opposite direction. There is no way to unpublish a discount from the Online Store.

Merged in a post:
Allow discounts to exclude in-store or online purchases. Oftentimes we want to run an in-store only promotion, and exclude web purchases - and vice versa.

Unfortunately, we will have to close this thread.
As mentioned before, the reason we can't support creating automatic discounts that only apply to specific sales channels is not because we don't want to; it's because it's simply not possible in Shopify Functions.
This GitHub discussion thread, where developers have asked Shopify to support applying discounts only on specific POS location/s in Shopify Functions, has been open since July 2023, with no ETA.
In order to declutter our feedback board, we will close this thread. By doing so, we will be able to focus on other feature requests that are possible, and making Regios Automatic Discounts as good as possible, given the current Shopify Functions limitations.
If Shopify adds this capability to their API in the future, we will revisit this feature request.
Best,
Tobe

Hi Aleeza,
Thanks for reaching out.
Unfortunately, due to limitations in Shopify itself, it is not possible to create automatic discounts that only apply to specific sales channels.
Thank you for your understanding.
