This guide explains how to generate a shareable URL for an existing Shopify discount code. Providing this link allows customers to automatically receive the discount at checkout without needing to manually type in a promo code.
This workflow is ideal for e-commerce managers, marketers, and store owners who are building promotional email campaigns or sharing discounts across social media channels.
To provide your customers with a frictionless checkout experience, you can create a direct link that automatically applies a specific discount code to their cart.
1
From your Shopify admin panel, navigate to your discounts and open the specific discount code you want to share.
2
Click the More actions dropdown menu near the top right of the page, then select the option to get a shareable link.
3
In the Get shareable discount code modal window, click the copy icon next to the generated URL.
4
Ensure the confirmation message appears at the bottom of the screen, verifying the link is copied to your clipboard.
You are now ready to paste the URL directly into your email builder or marketing campaign. When a customer clicks the link, the discount will automatically apply to their checkout.
Q: How does the customer actually get the discount?
A: Whenever someone clicks the generated shareable link, the Shopify platform automatically applies the discount to their session, and it will reflect directly at checkout.
