Thanks, but yeah that’s quite a bit of effort for something so straight forward. I’m really surprised all these coupon apps do everything else, except this simple thing…
Topic summary
A merchant seeks a Shopify plugin to automatically generate unique discount coupons after purchase and email them to customers. They’re frustrated that most apps either lack this feature or charge $99/month for this single functionality.
Suggested Solutions:
- Klaviyo: Create a flow triggered by “Completed Checkout” with dynamic discount codes, though setup may be complex
- Shopify Flow: Free native tool that can automate actions after order payment, but doesn’t natively auto-generate coupons
- Mesa: Offers automation templates for this use case (originally for SMS), starting at $30+/month
- Custom workaround: One user suggests creating coupons using order number + customer last name
Current Status:
The merchant remains dissatisfied with pricing, wanting this “basic” feature without paying for bundled functionality they don’t need. A community member later shared a YouTube tutorial showing a tiered pricing solution (free for ≤333 orders/month, $9/month for ~3,333 orders). Another user requested documentation for the Klaviyo setup method.
