In Shopify, it is impossible to create an automatic discount that applies only once per customer.

There are 3 alternative options you can use to work around this:

1. Create a discount code instead
2. Base the discount on the customer's number of orders
3. Use Shopify Flow to automatically tag customers who have used the discount

Option 1: Create a discount code instead

Though automatic discounts in Shopify do not support usage limits, discount codes do.

If you create a discount code that customers have to manually enter, you will see a "Limit to one use per customer" option in our app.

Option 2: Base the discount on the customer's number of orders

If you're trying to create a discount for first-time customers, then you can follow this tutorial to set that up in our advanced logic builder.

Option 3: Use Shopify Flow to automatically tag customers who have used the discount

Otherwise, you can combine our app with Shopify Flow for a clever workaround.

This workaround involves:

1. Create a Flow that automatically assigns a tag to customers who have used a specific discount.
2. Create a discount in our app that only applies to customers who DO NOT have that tag.
