How do GovX ID discount codes work?
GovX ID integrates directly with Shopify to create single-use codes in real-time. In other words, there is no work required from you to manage discount codes.
There are a couple of things to know about GovX ID discount codes:
- All codes are unique to your store
- Codes are created in real-time. We don't create batches of codes in advance.
- All codes start with the prefix "GX". This makes our codes easy to identify if you're exporting orders.
- All codes are single-use, so they cannot be shared.
- Customers are limited to 1 code every 24 hours. We also track code redemption. If a customer has an unused code and attempts to claim a new code, we will re-issue the existing code. This prevents customers from stock-piling discount codes for your store.
- We support discounts on both one-time purchase products and subscriptions, utilizing the Shopify Checkout. In order to see the subscription discount settings in our app, you must have a compatible subscription app installed and deployed.

After you download the app, you'll configure your Shopify discount. When you save these settings, the app creates a discount price-rule in your store. You can access this price rule in the "Discounts" menu of your store admin.
Please do not delete or edit this price rule in the Shopify discounts admin. This will cause the price rule to get out of sync with your app settings and could cause problems. If you do accidentally edit the price rule directly, just go to the GovX ID app and re-save your settings. This will cause the price rule to sync with the app settings.
Discount settings
The following settings can be configured via the app to customize your Shopify discount.
|
1 |
Discount type |
We support both percentage (i.e. 20% off) and fixed amount (i.e. save $5) discounts. |
|
2 |
Purchase type |
We support discounts on both one-time purchase items and subscriptions - as long as you're using a subscription app utilizing Shopify Checkout. You will only see this setting in our app if you have a compatible subscription app installed and deployed. |

Limit to collections |
You can limit the discount to apply only to products in one or more collections. For example, maybe you have a clearance section of already discounted products. You can limit the eligible collections to exclude your clearance section. |

Limit to products |
You can limit the discount to apply only to specific products. It is not currently possible to limit the discount to individual SKUs within a product. |
|
4 |
Minimum purchase amount requirement |
You can limit the discount to apply only when a minimum purchase amount is reached (i.e. Apply discount on carts of $50 or more). The minimum purchase amount is calculated based on eligible products in the cart. |
|
4 |
Minimum purchase units requirement |
You can limit the discount to apply only when a minimum unit amount is reached (i.e. Apply discount on carts of 5 or more items). The minimum purchase units are calculated based on eligible products in the cart. |
|
5 |
Recurring payment settings |
If you're offering discounts on subscriptions, you can further configure the discount to just the first payment, a set number of recurring payments or all payments for the lifetime of the subscription. You will only see this setting in our app if you have a compatible subscription app installed and deployed. |
You can also combine these rules to create very targeted discounts. For example, you could limit the discount to apply only to orders of 2 or more t-shirts.
