Need to be able to send a customer a link with a prebuilt cart + coupon attached - All ready to go

Shopify Apps
,

Topic summary

Goal: send customers a single link to a pre-built cart/checkout with a discount already applied to reduce friction during email sales (e.g., Product A with an upsell for Product B).

Proposed approach: use Shopify Admin’s Draft Orders. Add the desired items to a draft order, save, then use Share to send the customer a link to complete the purchase.

What’s clarified: the Draft Order method creates a shareable checkout link that reflects the pre-selected items. This aligns with the intent to minimize steps for the buyer.

Open questions/limits: the thread does not confirm whether a coupon code can be automatically applied via the shared link, or whether discounts must be set within the draft order itself. No third-party app recommendations were provided.

Status: partial path identified (Draft Orders) but not fully validated for automatic coupon application. Other participants expressed the same need and are still seeking solutions, so the discussion remains open.

Hey there,

I’m trying to find a solution (app or not) where we can send a customer a link or button to click that brings them to a pre-build cart with a discount code applied so all they have to do is purchase.

We want to cut down on the time it would take a customer to go from our recommendation to purchasing that recommendation.

Situation:

Customer is contacting us going back and forth via email and they’re on the fence about purchases Product A with upsell of Product B.

We discuss the benefits and say “hey, if you wanted to purchase now, I can give you X% off. Click this link to the cart already set up for you and the discount code applied”

–

We want remove the obstacles that could arise if we just hand out a code and want the customer to build their cart and add the code themselves.

Does anyone have a good solution for this? I might be not looking under the right search terms in the app store.

Replying to this to hopefully get some traction.

We want to acheive the exact same scenario - any insights here would be very appreciated!

The solution I’ve just been shown is to use Draft Orders in the back office.

Add the items to the draft order. Hit Save. Then click Share and send the link to the customer.
