Every time we run a sitewide sale I hit the same wall, a single discount only takes 100 products or variants before Shopify won't let me add any more. So covering a few thousand SKUs means either cramming everything into collections that don't match how the sale is scoped or rebuilding the same discount over and over to cover the catalog. Collections get me part of the way, but the second there are exclusions or odd bundles that don't map to a clean collection I'm back to splitting it, and with only 25 active automatic discounts allowed at once the workarounds run out fast. Plus the reporting fragments across every separate promo so I can't see how the sale did as one thing. The only thing keeping me sane is a couple people I trust swearing the bigger composable platforms just don't cap discounts the way Shopify does. The two that got thrown around the most in the replatforming threads on here and a few other subs are commercetools and SCAYLE, though I haven't sat with either long enough to confirm which handles it how, and I'm not about to rip the whole backend out mid-season just to find out. So how are those of you with big catalogs handling this without it turning into 6 near-identical discounts and a reporting mess, because there's got to be a cleaner setup than mine and I just haven't found it yet.

I make discounts all the time for 2k+ products. If my sale doesn’t match an existing collection, I make a new one for it, and just don’t publish the collection to the site. I usually call it something like “(product type) discount qualified”. I also use custom app with discount functions for any complicated discounts. For example, I have volume discounts that need to be unique per product, they are defined in a metafield and then I put the formula in my app to use a discount function and apply the discount.

Tbh, reporting the biggest headache. Splitting one sale into multiple discounts makes it harder to measure what actually worked
yeah the 100 SKU cap is such a pain, ran into this too. what actually helped was tagging the whole sale group instead of relying on collections (tags don't hit that same limit and you can just add exclusion tags separately instead of rebuilding rules every time). reporting's still kinda split up but at least its one system instead of 6 discounts pretending to be one sale. what's forcing the exclusions btw, margin stuff or just messy collections from way back
Get sidekick to create you an app for it, just tell it what you want the app to do and go from there.
I do my sale pricing via a single csv compare at price / price change upload
