In order to run through some test orders for new features and digital downloads we have added to our site, I submit a test order for myself from time to time. I have created a 100% discount code (that applies only to my email address), but it is only applicable for the items in the order. I would like to also be able to zero out the shipping on top of the items in the order, so that I am not charging and refunding myself the shipping every time I need to do this.
Is there a way to create a full 100% discount code that would cover both the items in the order + shipping, or can Shopify create an admin only discount code for this purpose?
Hope you’re doing well. I’m Sasank, Co-founder of Zula. We recently launched our app - Wire which enables digital downloads and sales of files, URLs and freeform text.
To address this very use case, we have a feature called -“Friend Link” which you could use to access the product anytime and even share it for free with your friends and family
Alternatively, you can always create a mock order in Shopify - In ‘Orders’ section → Create Order → Select customer (yourself) → Select Product → Click dropdown against ‘Collect Payment’ → Mark as paid.
For testing purposes it is better to create a gift card. You can create a Gift card for your email address and use that Gift card code at checkout. It will cover both shipping and product charges.
You can add multiple discounts of any type—Product, Order, or Shipping—and the app will automatically display them in the correct locations for your customers:
