A merchant seeks an app that automatically verifies Instagram followers and applies discounts at checkout, rather than using public discount codes. They want to reward verified followers only.
Suggested Solutions:
Smile.io and similar reward apps: These platforms can reward customers for social media actions like following or sharing.
Follow for Discount app (in development): Offers an alternative approach where customers follow the Instagram account and send a trigger message via DM to instantly receive a discount code. This method doesn’t require connecting Instagram accounts to the store.
A screenshot demonstrates the trigger message workflow. The discussion remains open as the merchant evaluates these options.

Hey! I’m looking for some sort of app where customers can connect their instagram account on my store and if they’re following our instagram they’ll receive a discount automatically at checkout.
I’m aware I could just put a discount code on in my instagrams bio or add a post etc, however that isn’t my goal.
I’m wanting to reward customers who support us by following and can only get the discount if they’re verified as a follower.
I’ve had a look around but can’t seem to find anything so any help would be great! thank you!
you might want to have a look at smile.io and similar reward apps. There you can reward your customers for certain actions like sharing or following on social media.
I am working on Follow for Discount. It rewards your customers with a discount code, when they follow you on Instagram.
Actually a better approach than what @Curty mentioned. Customers don’t have to connect their instagram with your store, instead they just Follow you and Send a Trigger Message, they’ll instantly get a discount code.
