**Feature Request: Split-Eligibility Cart Goal — Threshold from All Products, Discount Applied to Subset**
**Merchant Use Case**
A "Buy More, Save More" promotion where *any* product (excluding gift cards) counts toward the spend threshold, but the discount only applies to items within a specific collection. New arrivals contribute to the threshold but are excluded from receiving the discount.
---
**Core Requirements**
1. **Universal threshold accumulation.** All cart items except gift cards count toward the spend threshold — including new arrivals and products outside the discounted collection.
2. **Scoped discount application.** Once the threshold is met, the discount (% or fixed) applies only to items in a specified collection (e.g. "Sale" or "Eligible Items").
3. **Explicit exclusion list.** New arrivals collection (and gift cards) are excluded from receiving the discount, but are *not* excluded from the threshold calculation. This is a deliberate split — exclude from discount, include in spend.
4. **Standard tiering expected.** Merchant implies "Buy More, Save More" tiers (e.g. spend $100 → 10% off eligible, spend $200 → 20% off eligible), so multi-tier support is needed.

**Why this doesn't map cleanly to any current campaign type**
| Requirement | Closest existing type | Gap |
|---|---|---|
| Spend threshold triggers discount | Cart Goal | Cart Goal today applies the discount to the whole cart or by product — the threshold source and discount target are not independently configurable |
| Discount scoped to a collection | Bulk Price Editor / BXGY | Neither is triggered by a cart spend threshold |
| Exclude collection from discount but include in threshold | None | This split-eligibility logic doesn't exist in any current campaign type |
The key missing concept is **decoupled threshold scope vs. discount scope** — today, Cart Goal conflates the two. This request requires them to be independently configured:
- **Threshold scope:** all products minus gift cards
- **Discount scope:** specific collection, minus new arrivals
---
**Relationship to Existing Cart Goal**
This is best understood as a Cart Goal enhancement rather than a new campaign type. The configuration UI would need two distinct pickers:
- *"Which products count toward the goal?"* → All / Specific collections / Exclude collections
- *"Which products receive the discount when the goal is met?"* → All / Specific collections / Exclude collections
Currently these are likely the same setting or not independently exposed.

**Suggested Feature Name:** Cart Goal — Split Eligibility (Threshold Scope vs. Discount Scope)
**Priority Signal:** This is a common merchant pattern in apparel and general merchandise — "spend more to unlock savings, but not on our newest/full-price items." Likely has overlap with existing Cart Goal feature requests. Worth checking FeatureBase for "exclude collection from discount" or "cart goal collection" votes before scoping separately.
