Integrating Discount Codes with Shopify

Automatically generate Discount Codes from your Shopify store and issue them through BDOW! campaigns.

Written by Gregory Switzer

BDOW! can use discount codes that have been generated in your Shopify store, so you can easily distribute offers to new subscribers. You do not need a store integration to run a Discount Code campaign, but it does help because the codes will automatically be synchronized. Plus, you will gain access to insightful analytics through shared usage data!

Note: The Shopify app is currently unavailable. A new Shopify app experience is coming soon!

Connecting BDOW! to Shopify

The first thing to do is connect BDOW! to your Shopify store. In your site manager, go to Monetize > Discounts. Next, hover over Connect and select Shopify from the dropdown.

Now just enter the name of your Shopify store, which you can find in your store URL. For example, if your Shopify store URL is https://bdow-shopify.myshopify.com/, then your Shopify store name would be bdow-shopify:

Click Integrate, and you will authenticate with your store to establish the connection.

Note that you should log into the store with your store owner's credentials. Signing in with another user will not grant sufficient permissions.

WARNING

If you manually disconnect the Shopify integration from BDOW!:

  • Any discount campaigns you create in BDOW! will be lost (along with their stats)

  • Any Forms you created with Discount Codes will no longer offer codes. If you reconnect Shopify, you will need to re-assign a discount campaign to these Forms.

Creating a Discount Campaign

Now that the integration is established and your codes will be synchronized, the next step is creating a Discount Campaign. A Discount Campaign determines how BDOW! issues offers to new subscribers.

Campaign management on the BDOW! side is pretty much the same regardless of your store platform. See Creating a Discount Code Campaign for the full walkthrough.
