Hi,

This is Richard at PageFly - Shopify Advanced Page Builder app.

Building a Groupon-like website on Shopify is indeed possible, though it requires careful planning and the use of appropriate apps to replicate the core functionalities of Groupon. Here's a breakdown of the key considerations and app categories:

Core Functionalities to Replicate:

• Deals and Discounts:
  • Time-limited offers.
  • Percentage or fixed-amount discounts.
  • Group discounts (e.g., "deal activates if X number of people buy").
• Voucher/Coupon Generation and Management:
  • Unique voucher codes.
  • Voucher expiration dates.
  • Voucher redemption tracking.
• Local Deals/Merchant Management (if applicable):
  • If the site will feature local businesses, you'll need a system for merchants to manage their deals.

Shopify Apps to Consider:

• Discount and Promotion Apps:
  • These apps allow you to create complex discount rules, including time-limited offers and quantity-based discounts. Look for apps that offer:
    • Scheduled discounts.
    • Bulk discount code generation.
    • "Buy X, get Y" promotions.
  • Examples:
    • "Bold Discounts"
    • "Discount Ninja"
• Voucher and Gift Card Apps:
  • These apps are essential for generating and managing voucher codes. Features to look for:
    • Unique code generation.
    • Voucher expiration tracking.
    • Voucher redemption tracking.
    • Email delivery of vouchers.
  • Examples:
    • "Gift Cards & Loyalty Program"
    • "Rise.ai: Gift Cards & Loyalty

Hoping my solution helps you solve your problem.
