Get started

Install Playwright

1. Go to Install Playwright and enter your store’s address, like your-store.myshopify.com.
2. Shopify asks you to approve Playwright and the permissions it needs: discounts, shipping and payment customizations, and checkout validation.
3. Playwright opens in your Shopify admin.

Installing needs the store owner, or a staff member allowed to approve apps. Already installed? Enter the same address to open Playwright. Your subscription is billed through Shopify: see Pricing.

The three rule areas

Switch between areas with the tabs at the top of Playwright. Each area has its own templates, its own rules and its own Publish button.

Line Item Rules

Prices and discount codes: discounts, bundles, buy X get Y, tiers, free gifts, code rules and quantity limits.

Shipping Rules

The shipping rates customers see: discount, cap, hide, rename and reorder them. See Shipping rules.

Payment Rules

The payment options customers see: hide, rename and reorder them. See Payment rules.

Create your first rule

This example gives customers tagged VIP 10% off, with the Apply Discount template.

1. Open Line Item Rules and choose Apply Discount (advanced) from the templates.
2. Give the rule a name, like “VIP 10% off”.
3. Under Eligible Customers, choose Customer Tags, then Does, Match one of, and enter VIP.
4. Leave Eligible Carts in Checkout and Eligible Line Items in Cart at All.
5. Under Discount to apply, choose Percentage Discount, enter 10 and the message “VIP 10% off”.
6. Select Save Rule. The rule appears in your list, marked Active.

Publish

Select Publish Line Item Rules at the top of the page, or Publish in the status banner. Playwright saves what’s on screen, checks every rule, and publishes the ones that can run on Shopify Functions.

A banner then says how many rules were published and lists any it left out, with the reason. Once everything is live, the banner reads “Your discount rules are live in Shopify checkout”. See Publishing.

Check it at checkout

1. Open your online store and sign in as a customer tagged VIP (customer conditions need Shopify to know who the customer is).
2. Add an item to the cart and go to checkout.
3. The discount shows next to the item with your message, “VIP 10% off”.

Rules that use destination conditions apply once the shipping address is entered at checkout. Nothing showing? See Troubleshooting.

Change, pause or remove a rule

• Select a rule in the list to edit it, then Save Rule and publish again. Saved changes aren’t live until you publish.
• Select the Active badge in the rule’s form to make it Inactive. Inactive rules are kept but not published.
• Use the duplicate and delete buttons next to each rule in the list.
