Create a discount-code campaign

Learn how to create a discount-code campaign with a safe Juniper & Trail example, shopper impact, options, and recovery checks. A discount-code campaign leaves catalog prices unchanged and creates a Shopify discount node scoped to the resolved products or variants. Shoppers must enter or apply the displayed code.

Before you begin

  • Choose the shopper behavior: visible price, code, quantity tiers, or BOGO
  • Confirm eligible products and markets
  • Define the intended revert outcome

Keep the campaign in Draft while you verify the configuration. Use a private storefront window where the guide changes shopper-facing behavior.

Step-by-step setup

Create a discount-code campaign shown in the Badgy admin, with numbered callouts for the controls and verification points described below.

  2. Set the price base, percentage operation, amount, and rounding behavior.

  3. Verify updated prices and compare-at prices for real Juniper & Trail variants.

  1. Choose Discount code.
  2. Choose Percentage or Fixed amount and enter a positive Value.
  3. Enter a valid Discount code or use the suggestion control.
  4. Open Usage limits to optionally set Maximum uses and One use per customer.
  5. Confirm Validity follows the campaign window, then test eligible, ineligible, repeated, and over-limit carts.

Juniper & Trail example

Juniper & Trail tests the workflow for Create a discount-code campaign on the Alder 18L Daypack and Roam 750 Steel Bottle. The team checks the product, cart, and restore consequences before launch. The documentation fixture uses realistic products, inventory states, variants, collections, and protected exclusions so the preview exercises the same decisions as a merchant catalog.

What shoppers will see

  1. Confirm the campaign announcement and Shop call to action at the top of the store.

  2. Check the badge and adjusted pricing on an eligible product card.

  3. Compare another product card to verify consistent campaign treatment.

  1. Confirm the campaign announcement and Shop call to action fit the mobile header.

  2. Check that the badge remains readable on the mobile product card.

  3. Scroll through additional products to verify the collection layout stays usable.

The cart outcome depends on the route: direct price changes catalog prices, while code and function-backed offers are calculated by Shopify when eligibility is met. Check the relevant result from product through cart where applicable. For shopper-facing work, compare desktop and mobile and verify both an eligible and an ineligible item.

Common mistakes and troubleshooting

  • Acting on the wrong shop. Confirm the Shopify store and campaign before following Create a discount-code campaign.
  • Trusting a stale preview. Refresh after catalog, schedule, discount, theme, locale, or market changes.
  • Repeating a background command. Read status and History first; retry only when Badgy presents a recoverable failure.
  • Skipping the consequence check. Confirm what changes for shoppers and what the end or restore path will do.

If the status reports revoked authorization, reconnect Shopify before retrying. If the result still differs from the preview, preserve the campaign ID and approximate time, then open support from this identified shop. Never send customer data, access tokens, or full catalog exports in feedback.
