Generating unique codes for a single discount campaign (Bulk Discounts)

To generate multiple unique codes for the same discount promotion, follow these steps:

Verify the Discount Type: Ensure the promotion you are building is a Code-level discount (requires manual entry by the customer at checkout). Note: Automatic discounts are not eligible for bulk code generation.
Access the Generator: * From an active offer setup: Click the option to generate discount codes.

Select Your Discount: Search for and select the active code discount you created in Kite. A summary of the selected promotion will appear.
Choose a Generation Method: * Randomly Generate: Let Kite create a bulk batch of randomized codes.

- Upload List: Import your own pre-defined list of custom codes.
- Manual Entry: Type specific codes manually.

Customize Random Codes: If you selected "Randomly Generate," input the desired volume (e.g., 1,000 codes). You can customize the format by adding a Prefix or Suffix, adjusting the character length, and choosing the randomness type (Alphanumeric, Alphabetic, or Numeric). Use the real-time preview to verify the format.
Generate & Export: (Optional) Enter your email address to receive a notification once processing is complete. Click Generate. Once the codes finish processing, select them from the list and hit Export to download them for your marketing campaigns.

Automatic vs. Discount Codes: Bulk generation strictly relies on Shopify's discount code architecture. Automatic offers (like Dynamic BOGO or Auto Free Gifts) cannot be converted into bulk codes.
Discount Stacking (Product vs. Order vs. Shipping): Even though you are generating unique codes, they all inherit the rules of the base promotion. If the base promotion is a combined discount (e.g., 10% off Product + Free Shipping), ensure your Shopify discount stacking settings allow this code to be combined with other active offers on your store, if desired.
Accelerated Checkout Warning: Remember that express payment methods (like "Buy Now" or Apple Pay) bypass the cart. If your base discount relies on cart-level validation, customers using accelerated checkouts might face issues applying their unique codes.

Cannot find the discount in the search bar? Double-check that your promotion was saved as a "Discount Code" and not an "Automatic Discount."
Did not receive the generated codes? If you generated a massive list (e.g., 10,000+ codes), processing may take a few moments. Check the notification email you provided (including your spam folder) or refresh the Kite dashboard.
Customer claims the code doesn't work? Verify that the underlying base promotion is currently Active (not paused or expired) and that the customer's cart meets all the required tiers or conditions of the discount.
