In this article, you will find out how to promote coupons on your app.
Which coupons can I promote?
You can promote all the active coupons that your web shop offers. Normally, these are created in your e-Commerce Platform (ECP).
In addition to those, you can promote Shopgate app coupons. You can find a list of these coupons in your Shopgate Admin. To create a Shopgate app coupon, follow the instructions here.
Also note that Shopgate app coupons do NOT work for
✘ Magento 2 shops, or
✘ shops that have the Web Checkout feature enabled.
How to promote a coupon
There are tons of ways to promote a coupon. In general, there are two main ways to do so on your app:
Use Case:
When a user clicks on the push notification, a pre-defined page of the app opens and adds the coupon to the cart.
How to configure:
- Log into your Shopgate Admin
- Navigate to Marketing → Push Notifications, then click "+ Create New".
- Click the field Destination.
- This opens the link wizard in a light box. Select tab Coupon on the left.
- To link a web shop coupon, enter the code exactly as is in the field Coupon code at the bottom.
Note that at this point, we do NOT verify the code with your ECP. If this code is entered incorrectly, your app users will see an error at checkout.
- To link a Shopgate app coupon, search and select a coupon code from the list.
- Define what the push notification should do when tapped on, either add coupon (this will open app homepage) or add coupon and show cart. Click Confirm.
That's it! Now you have linked a coupon to a push notification.
