Summary

Merchant Troy Carr reported that his 'Buy 3: 5% off, Buy 5: 10% off' campaign was not applying the correct 10% discount when customers purchased 5 items. After initial bot troubleshooting failed (the merchant confirmed the campaign was already set to 'Mix of products'), Troy self-diagnosed the root cause: newly added products were not being auto-included in the campaign. Agent Dela resolved the issue by unlocking a higher-tier auto-update campaign feature for Troy at no extra charge, which Troy confirmed was working.

"This is an excellent piece of code... a real convenience. And your team has always been helpful and responsive."

Remove items from cart > 2. Hard refresh storefront > 3.

We're here to help! 💙 **[2026-05-17 16:28:41] user/Troy Carr** > Thanks. **[2026-05-17 19:12:27] user/Troy Carr** > You can ignore this ticket... found the issue. The campaign does not update for new products added to the store. **[2026-05-17 20:05:11] admin/Grace [note]** > NO SLA on this one, > No action🙌 **[2026-05-17 21:31:19] admin/Dela** > Hi Troy!👋🏼 Hope you're doing great. This is Dela here from Discounty. > Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. It was a hectic day around here. I'm glad you found the issue, and thanks for letting me know. If there's anything I can help you with, please let me know. > > Bests, **[2026-05-18 17:41:02] admin/Dela** > Hi Troy 👋🏼 > I wanted to quickly follow up because I saw your note about the campaign not updating for newly added products. Thank you for catching that and letting us know. ​ > We do actually have a feature that can auto-update campaigns regularly, so newly added products can be included in the campaign automatically without needing you to update the campaign manually each time. > [Image] This feature is normally available on a higher-tier Discounty plan, but I really don’t want you to lose sales or have to deal with refunds just because of one missing feature. If this is the only feature you need from that plan, I’d be happy to make an exception and unlock it for you. ​ > You’ve already taken the time to flag this and troubleshoot it on your side, and I genuinely appreciate that. > > Just let me know if you’d like me to enable it, and I’ll take it from there. Bests, **[2026-05-18 18:47:34] user/Troy Carr** > Dela, I really appreciate that offer and think I will take you up on it. As my store grows, I can see myself needing more of the features in the higher tier, but for now, given my quantities, etc. a full upgraded subscription isn't really feasible. **[2026-05-18 18:48:21] admin/Dela** > I totally get that, dear. Makes so much sense. Baby steps at a time. ​ **[2026-05-18 18:48:35] admin/Dela** > So, I'm gonna grant the access to the feature for now **[2026-05-18 18:48:48] admin/Dela** > And in future when you felt right you can upgrade **[2026-05-18 18:48:51] admin/Dela** > Sounds good? **[2026-05-18 18:49:35] user/Troy Carr** > Sounds great. Thank you. **[2026-05-18 18:50:03] admin/Dela** > My absolute pleasure! Anything else I can help you with in the meantime? **[2026-05-18 18:53:28] admin/Dela** > It's done, by the way! **[2026-05-18 18:53:43] admin/Dela** > Can you please check and confirm you've got the access now? **[2026-05-18 18:54:53] user/Troy Carr** > Checking... **[2026-05-18 18:55:06] admin/Dela** > Take your time **[2026-05-18 18:56:09] user/Troy Carr** > Yes, that radio button is now available to check. **[2026-05-18 18:56:23] admin/Dela** > Perfect! **[2026-05-18 18:56:48] user/Troy Carr** > I appreciate it.
