Here’s a complete guide to set up a discount code that works only inside your mobile app, perfect for exclusive promotions, loyalty perks, or limited-time drops.
Step 1: Create a Discount Code in Shopify
1. Go to your Shopify Dashboard.
2. Click on “Discounts” in the left sidebar.
3. Click on the “Create discount” button.
4. Choose the discount type (e.g., “Amount off products”).
5. Enter a custom discount code (can be random or branded).
6. Set the discount value, e.g., 10% or 15% off.
7. Apply the discount to a specific collection, such as Jewelry.
8. Scroll to the Sales channel access section.
Unselect all channels.
Select only “Tapday – Mobile App Builder.
9. Click “Done”, then click “Save.
You now have a discount that only works inside your Tapday-powered app.
Step 2: Use the Prebuilt Discount Code Widget in Tapday
1. Copy the discount code you just created in Shopify.
2. Go to your Tapday dashboard.
3. Locate the widget designed specifically for auto-applying discount codes inside the app.
4. Drag this widget into your app layout.
5. Once placed, you can:
Upload an image
Add a title
Customize various styling and layout settings
6. In the widget settings, go to the Code Set section.
7. Paste the discount code you copied from Shopify into the Shopify code.
8. You can label the code however you like, for example, “10”, “15”, or “20”.
This label masks the actual Shopify code from users.
The discount will be automatically applied through the app using this masked setup.
This ensures the code remains exclusive to your Tapday mobile app and cannot be used elsewhere.
