You can create offers, such as discount codes, to add to your sign-up units and welcome journeys. Additionally, we have an integration that allows you to use Shopify offers with your Attentive sign-up units and welcome journeys.

See Offer distribution for more details.

Create a shared discount code

With shared discount codes, you can send one code to all of your subscribers. To create a shared discount code to send to all subscribers:

1. Go to Offers.
2. On the Offers page, click + Create offer.
   
3. From Choose an offer type, select Shared discount code.
   
4. On the Create shared discount code page, add the following information about the discount code:
   • Discount name
     
     Note: Best practice is something that indicates the discount such as "10% Off." There is a five character minimum.
   • Discount code - the code from your ecommerce platform
   • Discount amount (optional): The amount of the discount. Choose either Percent or Dollar(s). You can include this amount in text or email messages by using the {{offer.value}} variable. See Personalize campaign messages with dynamic links and variables for more information.
   • Description (optional)
5. (Optional) If your e-commerce platform supports it, you can set the discount code to be automatically applied for your customers at checkout. (If you’re not sure, contact us.)
   1. Under Discount Link, slide the Add auto-apply link toggle switch on (if it’s not already on).
   2. If the Destination URL isn’t auto-filled (or if you want to redirect to a page other than the default homepage):
      1. Click the tooltip, which explains when to use this field as well as an example formatted URL (which shows the homepage default).
         
         Note: If you are a Shopify client, use this format instead: https://{shopname}.myshopify.com/discount/{coupon} 
      2. Complete the Destination URL field.
         

         Note: Be sure to add {coupon} in place of the discount code. When the link is included in a text message, {coupon} is replaced with the shared discount code.
         To redirect to a page other than the default homepage, use this format:
         https://www.DOMAIN.com/discount/{coupon}?redirect=/new-path

   3. (Optional) Enter the UTM parameters that are relevant to you in the various UTM fields.
      

      Note: The UTM_Source and UTM_Medium fields may be auto-filled for you based on your Google Analytics configuration in Settings.

   A preview of the auto-apply URL that you’re building displays on the right side of the page.
   

6. Click Create.
   A success message displays. You can now add this discount code when working with sign-up units and welcome journeys.
