Discount configuration
In the discount configuration, you define the economic content of your voucher: discount type, value, validity and what the discount applies to in Shopify. PostPal uses this configuration to generate matching codes for your postcards and later attribute redemptions.
The discount configuration describes what a voucher does in Shopify. It is the business template from which PostPal creates individual codes for a mailing.
Typical settings:
- Discount value or discount type.
- Validity and redemption rules.
- Scope through entitlement types.
- Connection to the Shopify shop where the code is redeemed.
Minimum requirements:
You can optionally define when the voucher applies at all. You pick exactly one of the two conditions:
- Minimum purchase amount – the cart value must reach the given amount. Shipping costs do not count towards it.
- Minimum item quantity – the cart must contain the given number of items. For product and order discounts, only the items the discount applies to are counted; for free shipping, every item in the cart counts.
The two cannot be combined. For Buy X get Y, you set the minimum requirement in the Buy X configuration instead.
Match the configuration to your campaign goal: a clear discount, a simple code and a fitting target link improve redemption.
Frequently asked questions
What do I define in the discount configuration?
You define which discount the voucher offers, what it may apply to and how it is created in Shopify.
Can I limit discounts to specific products?
Yes. Entitlement types let you apply discounts to orders, products, product collections or free shipping, for example.
Can I combine a minimum purchase amount with a minimum item quantity?
No. Each voucher can have exactly one of the two minimum requirements — or none at all.
Why is the configuration important for tracking?
PostPal creates codes from this configuration and can then attribute redemptions to the campaign.
