Why isn't my discount code working for specific customers?

I import a file of 10 customer details in my Shopify Store and created Discount Codes for these specific customers.

I don’t know why the code is not working when they try to use it.

What specific customer information do I need for these codes to Apply?

Hey, @va_monic

Olivia here from the Shopify team. Thank you for sharing your question with our network, I’m happy to look into this with you.

It sounds like you’ve created a custom discount code for a number of specific customers, but they’re unable to apply the discount code to their orders? Do you know if these customers are receiving an error message when trying to apply the discount code? If so, please provide me with a screenshot of the error message so I can look further into what may be causing it. If there is no error message, could you please elaborate more on what you mean by the code not working?

Note:

Customer eligibility for discounts is determined by email address.

Furthermore, if no customers have provided specific examples, here’s how you can test this out on your end:

  1. Create a new customer account for yourself to test with

  2. On the discount code in question, add your test customer account as an eligible customer

  3. Save the discount code

  4. On your site, add products to the cart and proceed to the checkout. Add the discount code and use your test customer details in the customer information step. This should give you an idea of what your customers are experiencing and allow you to capture screenshots of any error messages that may be appearing.

These steps should help guide us in the right direction to resolving the issue you’re facing, and I look forward to hearing back from you with some more context.

Warm regards,

We are experiencing troubles with customer eligibility discounts. We have created a customer segment and assigned a discount code to them. However, anyone with access to the discount code can use it in the checkout - it is not exclusive to the customer segments is assigned to. We have troubleshot this in every possible way - have noticed on community boards others are having the same issue. Can you help?

I am having the same problem. I created a discount code, assigned a random customer to the code and on checkout, it just applies the discount code even though I am not eligible for it. @Uniqwa_C Is this still happening on your checkout?

Same here. Allows code to be used for any customer even though we have one configured for only those who’ve placed an order within the last 30 days. Tried private windows and VPNs and definitely Shopify just ignores the segment. Apparently bugged.

This is a BIG problem. Shopify, you need to fix this!!
