If you'd like to apply special pricing to subscription items, or one-time purchases, you can use the "Subscriptions and selling plans" options on the "Discount settings" page.
If you are using our advanced logic builder, you can enable the "How to handle items already on sale > Calculate discount based on compare at price" setting.

When this is enabled, our app will calculate the difference between the sale price and the compare at price, and then subtract that amount from the final discount, as if the compare at price were receiving the discount instead.
However, due to limitations in Shopify, the final discounted price cannot be greater than the sale price.
Please report any issues here.
You can use our advanced logic builder to create a discount for multiple tags at once.
Follow these instructions to learn how to set it up.

Unfortunately, once the app is uninstalled, the associated discounts are permanently deleted. Before uninstalling, Shopify provides a clear warning about this, which is why we want to emphasize the importance of that notice. Here's a screenshot of the notice:
Since our app's discounts use Shopify Functions, they are stored on Shopify's servers, leading to their deletion upon uninstallation.
In the future, to preserve your discounts, you can use the "Logic > Export" button on the "Edit product/order/shipping discount" screen in the app to save them as a JSON file on your computer. This way, you can easily restore your discounts if needed.
