# A Shopify discount only for customers tagged VIP

To give a discount only to customers tagged VIP, tag them `VIP` in Shopify, then create an automatic discount with the Global Condition **Customer Tag** **Is one of** `VIP`. Only logged-in customers with that tag get it, and they never have to type a code. Guests have no tags, so a VIP who checks out as a guest does not get the discount.

With [OneCode: Stackable Discounts](https://apps.shopify.com/rm-combo-discounts), that one automatic discount can hold several kinds of discount, for example 15% off products and free shipping.

A logged-in VIP with an $80 cart saves $12 and gets free shipping, so they pay $68. The same person checking out as a guest pays $80 plus $8 shipping, $88 in total.

## Set it up

1. In Shopify admin, open each VIP customer and add the tag `VIP`.
2. In OneCode, click **Create discount** and choose **Automatic discount**. Enter a **Title** such as `VIP15`. Checkout shows the title as the label on the discounted items. Choose **Discount code** instead if you want VIPs to enter a code.
3. Under **Global Conditions**, click **Add Condition**. Set **Field** to **Customer Tag**, keep **Is one of**, and pick or type `VIP`.
4. Click **Add Discount Type** and enter `15` in **Percentage**, keeping **Target** as **All Products**.
5. Click **Add Discount Type**, set **Discount Type** to **Shipping Discount**, and keep **Free Shipping**.
6. Click **Save discount**.

Every Global Condition must be met for anything on the discount to apply. A customer without the tag gets neither the 15% nor the free shipping.

The same setup works for other groups. Tag customers `Wholesale`, `Staff`, `Student` or `Military` and use that tag instead.

## A bigger discount for VIPs, a smaller one for everyone

To give everyone 10% and VIPs 20%, leave out the Global Condition and add two product discounts to the same discount:

1. A product discount of `10` percent with no conditions.
2. A product discount of `20` percent with the Per-Discount Condition **Customer Tag** **Is one of** `VIP`.

VIPs get 20% and everyone else gets 10%. Each item gets the one product discount that saves the most, so VIPs get 20%, not 30%.

## Everyone except one group

To give a discount to everyone except wholesale customers, use **Customer Tag** **Is not one of** `Wholesale`. Guests get this discount, because they have no tags.

## VIPs who check out as guests

If your VIPs often check out without logging in, use a Shopify customer segment of your VIPs instead of a tag. Add the Global Condition **Customer Segment** and pick the segment. Shopify can match a segment by the email or phone number entered at checkout, not only by a logged-in account. Segments can only include customers. To leave a group out, use a tag with **Is not one of**.
