📌 Important Note

While setting up the discount on Shopify Admin, please make sure the discount method is selected as Discount Code. And the discount is allowed to be featured on the Shopney - Mobile App sales channel.

3- Test the App Exclusive Discount

After setting up the App-Exclusive Discount, you can test it by clicking the discount element in your app (1). A pop-up will appear confirming that the discount has been applied (2). You can also go to the cart page to enter the discount code manually (3), or view the active discounts above the subtotal section (4).

🛎️ Reminder

Even if your app isn’t live yet, you can preview it and test the App-Exclusive Discounts by following the guide here. You can also place a test order to confirm that the discounts are working properly with the help of the guide here.


Applying App-Exclusive Discounts Automatically

If you want an App-Exclusive Discount to apply automatically without needing customers to tap the discount element or enter a code manually, you can use Automatic App-Exclusive Discounts.

Let’s walk through the 2 easy steps to enable it!


1- Ensure the Discount is Working Manually

Before enabling the App-Exclusive Discount to apply automatically, make sure to set it up using the steps above and test it by clicking the discount element in your app.

📌 Important Note

Before setting up the App-Exclusive Discount to apply automatically on the app, you’ll need to ensure the discount element is displayed on your app’s showcase first.

💡 Tip

If you prefer, you can upload a blank white image (ideally sized 10x100 pixels) for the Automatic App-Exclusive Discount you set up. This will make the discount element practically invisible while keeping the automatic discount fully functional.

2- Select an App-Exclusive Discount and Save Changes

After ensuring the discount is working, go to the Design section (1), and select the Settings tab in your Shopney Dashboard (2). Select the discount you want to be automatically enabled at the checkout on the Automatic App Exclusive Discount section (3), and click the Save & Update button (4).
