Creating a Discount Code Campaign

1) Connect To Shopify

You can generate Discount Codes from your Shopify store to offer subscribers when they subscribe through your Sumo forms.

Note: If your site is not built on WooCommerce or Shopify, or you don't want to integrate with Shopify or WooCommerce, you can skip ahead to the Setup Your Discount Codes section.

1 The first thing to do is connect Sumo to your Shopify store. To do that, open List Builder and click on the Discounts tab. Then click on the Connect to Shopify button.

2 Now enter the name of your Shopify store. For example, if your Shopify store URL is https://sumo-shopify.myshopify.com/ then your Shopify store name would be sumo-shopify. Click Integrate and Sumo will connect with your Shopify store!

Note: When connecting to your Shopify store, you should be logged into your store with store owner credentials - not with another user's credentials, or partner credentials.

Warning: If you disconnect the Shopify integration from Sumo, any discount campaigns you create in Sumo will be lost (along with their stats) and 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.

2) Connect To WooCommerce

You can generate Discount Codes from your WooCommerce store to offer subscribers when they subscribe through your Sumo forms.

Note: If your site is not built on WooCommerce or Shopify, or you don't want to integrate with Shopify or WooCommerce, you can skip ahead to the Setup Your Discount Codes section.
