How to automatically generate unique discount codes for customers?

[Tacos_117]

Hello,

I am running a special lifetime discount for the first 1000 customers. After purchase, they will receive a thank you email with the code.

I want to be able to generate a unique code for each customer, and have that code added to the thank you email automatically.

Does anyone know of an app that can do this, Or Ir will I need to learn how to code a shopify app?

Thanks!

For an app just search the search the apps forum itself, or the app store for your own description terms: generate discount new customer ; then dig.

There's also researching marketing apps/services, maybe like klaviyo though you often still have to PREGENERATE the codes to attach to the services mailing list to be inserted for each customer in a campaign.

If you have backend development experience see the .dev docs

https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/selling-strategies/discounts 

If you have or want to learn more simple coding see an app like mechanic for scripting automations, using a type of liquid code,  without having to create a full blown app. Examples https://tasks.mechanic.dev/?tags=Discounts 

If you need this type of automation setup then contact me by my email for services.

ALWAYS please provide context, examples: store url, theme name, post url(s) , or any further detail in ALL correspondence.

Tangent , and on pregeneration,

A different process hypothetically is if the customers are pre-existing in which case you could use excel or google-sheets spreadsheet software to generate such codes then import them either again with the api, or an ETL app like ez-exporter or matrixify.

Hi, we use Omnisend as a third party app for our email service and I know for a fact they can auto genrate discount codes in emails.

Hi @Tacos_117,

There are several third-party email providers which can help you set up the automation for your use case. You can then use the app CouponLoop to add unique discount codes to any of the email automation on these email providers.
