Automatically apply discount code

Shopify Discussion

Hi,

I am currently using a newsletter subscription to offer a discount code for the first order. I am wondering whether there is a way to apply a discount code automatically and simultaneously have the customer join the newsletter instead of them having to register, wait for the email and use the discount at checkout.

Hi @Yacine2020 !

There is not feature like this under the Shopify platform yet though, as a workaround, you can use application to achieve this such as Seal Subscriptions and Automatic Discounts apps and see what works best for you.

Hi Yacine2020,

While, in theory, it makes sense to automatically apply the discount code when someone signs up for your newsletter, doing so actually has a major flaw that could lose you significant money:

If you automatically apply the discount code without new customers having to confirm their subscription first, then people can exploit this by entering fake emails, and will get rewarded with a discount on your products, despite not actually being in your mailing list.

A foolproof way involves two steps:

  1. Use an email marketing app that allows you to add a specific tag to your customer accounts once they have confirmed their subscription to your newsletter.

  2. Use our app,Regios Automatic Discounts (4.8 stars, Built for Shopify), an automatic discount for customers with that tag, AND who have exactly 0 orders. In our advanced logic builder, we have a template for first time customer discounts, and you can easily add the tag to the list of criteria.

If you have any questions about this, just reply, and I will be happy to help.

Best,

Tobe

Hello @Yacine2020

You can streamline the process of offering a discount code to new subscribers by using an icart drawer upsell app, Here’s how you can achieve this:

Features of iCart for Discount:1. Apply Discounts:

  • Automatic Discount Application: iCart allows you to set up conditions where discounts can be applied automatically based on specific triggers, such as email sign-up. This feature is crucial for your need to apply discounts immediately upon a customer joining your newsletter.

  1. Dynamic Discounts:

    • Personalized Discounts: You can create personalized discount offers based on cart value, customer behavior, or other criteria. For instance, you can offer higher discounts for higher cart values or provide special offers to returning customers.
