Use a discount code without a discount

Hi,

I am looking to create a discount code that doesn’t actually have a discount. I have tried setting one up with a Fixed discount of $0 but I get this message.

The purpose of this is that our client wants to capture the source of some of the sales (eg - did they see an activation at an event that promoted this code)

While I know this isn’t the best method for this - it’s what they’re insisting.

Is it possible?

Hi @DMC01 ,

Use Google Analytics Conversion Tracking.

Best,

Sam

Thanks but that’s not what I am looking for. I am specifically looking for a solution for using a discount code without a discount applied.
Or a text field that can be reported on

@DMC01 ,

For your purpose, use Cart Attributes.

Find your cart HTML form either in Templates or Sections and add this in between

  <input id="promo-source" type="hidden" name="attributes[promo-source]" value="{{ cart.attributes["promo-source"] }}">

You can use URL params to get the origin. For example if clicking from Facebook there should be a URL param present like ?source=facebook. Then, when shoppers click from Facebook your cart attribute field will have a value.
