- Go to Products in Shopify admin
- Select the products you want to exclude

How It Works
When a VIP member adds a product to their cart:
| Product Has Tag? | VIP Discount Applied? |
|---|---|
| No tag | Yes, VIP discount applies |
NO-VIP-DISCOUNT | No, product stays at full price |
This tag only affects the VIP percentage discount. Other discounts like discount codes or automatic discounts still apply normally.
Example
Scenario: You sell jewelry with a 15% VIP discount. Gift cards should not be discounted.
- Go to your Gift Card product in Shopify
- Add the tag
NO-VIP-DISCOUNT - Save
Now when a VIP member buys:
- Necklace ($100) - Pays $85 (15% VIP discount)
- Gift Card ($50) - Pays $50 (no discount)
Verify It's Working
- Create a test order as a VIP member
- Add a product WITH the tag and one WITHOUT
- At checkout, only the product without the tag should show the VIP discount
Remove the Tag
To re-enable VIP discount on a product:
- Go to the product in Shopify admin
- Find the
NO-VIP-DISCOUNTtag - Click the X to remove it
- Save the product
