How to set price rules by a product variant id for a specific quantity (Shopify GraphQl API)

by Ilias Haddad

We're now in the second week of the #4WeeksOfShopifyDev challenge.

In the sixth article, As requested, I'll be talking about how to set price rules by a product variant id for a specific quantity using the Shopify GraphQl API

We'll build a discount (80% OFF) that will be applied automatically when the user has a specific product variant with a minimum quantity of 2 itemsLet do it!

I'll be using the Shopify Admin API explorer app

  • You need to install the Shopify Admin API app
  • Paste this code in GraphQl query
mutation discountAutomaticBasicCreate($automaticBasicDiscount: DiscountAutomaticBasicInput!) {
discountAutomaticBasicCreate(automaticBasicDiscount: $automaticBasicDiscount) {
automaticDiscountNode {
id
}
userErrors {
code
extraInfo
field
message
}
}
}

In this code, we have this mutation function to creates a basic automatic discount and it's will return the id of the generated discount

  • Paste this JSON object in the query variables section
{
"automaticBasicDiscount": {
"title": "Ilias Challenge",
"startsAt": "2020-12-07T11:26:29.519Z",
"minimumRequirement": {
"quantity": {
"greaterThanOrEqualToQuantity": "2"
}
},
"customerGets": {
"value": {
"percentage": 0.8
},
"items": {
"products": {
"productVariantsToAdd": "gid://shopify/ProductVariant/YOUR-PRODUCT-VARIANT-ID"
}
}
}
}
}

Notes:

Percentage accepts value between 0.00 - 1.00 80% - 0.80

Your Product Variant ID: you can get it when editing a product variant, you'll have in the URL

In this example:

https://ilias-demo.myshopify.com/admin/products/4805542674516/variants/32963135799380

Variant_ID= 32963135799380
