How to make native Buy X Get Y discounts work with subscriptions

Kaching Subscriptions & Native Buy X Get Y discounts

Unfortunately, Shopify’s native “Buy X Get Y” discounts don’t support subscriptions at this time – they only apply to one-time purchases.

However, there are two ways to work around this limitation:

1. Use an app like Kaching Bundles – Quantity Breaks, which supports creating “Buy X Get Y” style discounts that work with subscriptions.

2. Use a native automatic discount based on the number of products in the cart. For example:

  • Set up a 33% discount when 3 items are added to the cart.

  • Ensure "Discount applies to all recurring payments" setting is checked

  • This effectively mimics a “Buy 2, Get 1 Free” deal (see the attached screenshot for reference)
