Hi NiuMi, Did you get to develop your app? I’m also looking for a social sharing app and will like to see how yours work. Thanks!
Topic summary
Goal: find a Shopify app that grants a discount code after a customer shares a product on social media. Current app (Social Share Buttons and Popup) works on desktop/mobile browsers but fails within social apps on mobile (no discount popup).
Recommendations and status:
- Shopify staff suggested contacting the current app’s developer and trying third‑party options: Checkout Share (share cart for a discount before checkout) and Share For Discount (reward for Facebook like/Twitter follow).
- Growave proposed its social sharing campaigns with customizable pop‑ups, plus broader loyalty features.
- AchieveLoyalty offered an early beta (free for life if installed before Jan 1, 2020). Later update: added a Facebook Share button to redeem a merchant-created discount; demo provided. Limitations: shopper must be signed in, only one social discount active, one claim per shopper.
Developer efforts:
- A developer (NiuMi) began building a new app after gathering requirements: share button on product page, auto-return to product page, automatic discount popup. Another developer offered to collaborate; another user is also building a similar solution.
- Social Promoter briefly matched the request (unique or static codes, post approval, galleries) but was later removed due to low adoption.
Outcome: no confirmed resolution. Viable paths are testing AchieveLoyalty’s beta or awaiting new apps in development. Unclear if the original app’s mobile issue was fixed.
