Understanding How Discount Codes Are Created and Managed by Amote

Modified on Mon, 28 Oct at 6:26 AM

Amote is a powerful upsell app that automatically creates discount codes for each tier in a Reward progress bar using Shopify’s official Discount API. Each discount code generated by Amote follows the format AMT_xxxxxx, and the app handles the creation, update, and expiration of codes automatically, making it easy to manage discounts across different reward tiers.


How Amote Creates Discount Codes

For every tier in the Reward progress bar, Amote generates a corresponding discount code. This process includes:

  1. Automatic Code Generation: Whenever a customer creates, updates, or deletes information in any tier, Amote will automatically generate a new discount code for that tier. The old code will be set to "Expired" to ensure there are no conflicting or outdated codes.
  2. Shopify Official Discount API: Amote relies on Shopify's official Discount API to create these codes, ensuring that they integrate seamlessly with the Shopify platform and function as expected.


Non-Editable Fields

To ensure the app functions correctly, certain key fields must not be modified:

  1. Customer spends: This determines the amount a customer needs to spend to trigger a reward.
  2. Customer gets: This defines the reward the customer receives when they reach a specific tier.


Altering these values could cause issues with how discounts are applied.


Editable Fields and Considerations


While some fields are editable, there are important considerations to keep in mind:

  • Active Date: You can adjust the start date for when a discount code becomes active. However, if you change this, make sure to manually set the corresponding end date to avoid overlap with other codes.
  • Updates to Shopify: Since Amote generates a new code whenever a tier is updated, users must remember to update the discount settings in Shopify accordingly. This ensures that the newly created code is reflected in your store's discount settings.


By following these guidelines, you can efficiently manage your upsell strategies using Amote’s automated discount code creation system, while ensuring your store remains optimized and up-to-date.
