# Reward settings are too large to save

> Shopify limits the size of reward settings. Shorten shipping method lists or remove tiers, then save again.

This error means your rewards use more than 10,000 bytes. We didn't save your changes. Long shipping method lists are the usual cause. Shorten them or simplify your tiers, then save again.

The full message reads: "Reward settings are too large to save (… bytes; maximum 10000). Select fewer shipping methods, use “All shipping methods except…”, or simplify your rewards. Your changes have not been saved."

## Fix it

1. In Shopify admin, open **Apps** → **Section Store** → **Cart Drawer**.
2. Click **Edit** on your cart.
3. Under **Body**, open **Reward bar**.
4. Open your **Free shipping** tier.
5. If you picked many methods, set **Apply to** to **All shipping methods except…** and pick the few to leave out.
6. Delete tiers you don't use. Remove spare gift products and variants.
7. Click **Save**.

During an A/B test, all versions' reward settings together must fit the same limit. The error then reads "The combined discount configuration exceeds Shopify's 10,000-byte limit".

## Other size errors

- **"Cart Drawer settings are too large to save":** the cart is over 128,000 bytes. Remove some upsell rules or simplify the cart.
- **"Cart Drawer translations are too large to save":** the translations are over 128,000 bytes. Shorten the cart text.
