Hello! Our shop recently moved to Shopify from a custom platform, and we’re trying to find a way to migrate a successful program we’ve had in the past. We’re all new to Shopify, so we’re not certain whether exactly what we need is possible.
The program is a short-term sale where buying a unique gift card product (worth $50) also includes a $50 certificate that can be redeemed at any time. Our plan is to recreate the certificate as a discount code, since there are some restrictions that make having it as a gift card not make sense.
Here’s the exact specifications we need:
- This code needs to be single-use
- The code needs to be unique for each customer (our customers tend to share codes in public if they are not customer-specific, which is fine for most promotions but not this one)
- If possible, we would like to let people combine multiple of these codes in one purchase (as in they have purchased the $50 gift card + $50 certificate more than once)
I’ve added a bulk discount code generator app, which takes care of the first two issues, but I’d love some suggestions on how to actually get those codes to customers. I can export the orders, sort them, and BCC those who purchased the gift card with the code, but is there a way to automate that? Alternatively, I could include a line of code in the order confirmation email that includes the discount code for people who purchase the special gift card product, but that doesn’t include a way to have the code be unique to each person. Any suggestions for apps or other solutions to this very specific issue would be appreciated!
