Now you can create a series of Single-use coupon codes in PostPilot that auto-generate using your Shopify integration, and for automated campaigns, replenish as needed.
Step 1: Log into your PostPilot Account
Even if you've already connected your Shopify store to the app, you'll need to reauthorize the PostPilot app to use PostPilot's Shopify Coupon generator.

This action will bring you to the PostPilot app page in the admin portal of your Shopify store.
Step 4: Update your Shopify store settings and begin creating your unique coupon codes
Once on the page below, click the Update app button to authorize PostPilot to create coupons for your store.
Once you click the Update app button, and you will be redirected back to the PostPilot app.

Step 5: Set your coupon specifications and generate your coupon codes
Once on the Coupon creation page, complete the required fields shown below to generate your coupon codes.
Things to keep in mind when creating your Single-use coupon codes:
-
Coupon name - Make it something that is easy to identify later.
-
Coupon prefix - 3 characters that will lead every coupon.
-
PostPilot will auto-generate the rest of the coupon for you.
-
-
Discount Type - Select from: Fixed amount, Percentage, or Free Shipping.
-
Minimum Purchase - Amount before taxes and shipping.
-
Activation Date - When your coupon will be activated on your site.
Generating coupon codes manually for One-Off Campaigns
PostPilot generates coupon codes for Automated Campaigns and Flows automatically, but if you plan to use your codes in One-Off Campaigns, you must manually generate coupon codes.
Once you create the parameters for your coupon, specify the number of coupon codes that you want to generate.
This must be done before you send your One-Off Campaign.
Please check this list before you launch your One-Off Campaigns:
- At minimum, you must generate as many coupon codes as expected recipients.
- This means that if you generate fewer codes than the number of estimated recipients, your campaign will not send to all recipients.
- If the actual number of recipients for your One-Off Campaign is greater than the number of codes you generate at send time, the extra recipients will be skipped and will not receive a card.
- If you generate a large number of codes, allow time between your campaign's desired send time and when you create the codes.
- Generating a large number of coupon codes may take up to several hours.
You can view all of your coupons from the Coupon List.
You can generate coupon codes for a particular coupon by clicking the Add Codes button next to each coupon in the list.
