Kite App: Getting Started

This guide provides a quick tour of the Kite dashboard to help you navigate templates and select the right promotion type for your store.

The Dashboard & Templates

When you first log in, you will land on the Dashboard. While the exact layout may vary depending on your setup stage, you will see a list of Discount Templates as you scroll down.

• Purpose: These templates come with pre-configured settings to help you launch common offers quickly without starting from scratch.

Creating a New Promotion

To view the full suite of available offers, navigate to the Create New Promotion tab. Here, you will find specific categories tailored to different strategies:

1. Free Gift Category Ideal for "Gift with Purchase" campaigns. Options include:

• Automatic Addition: Automatically adds the gift to the cart when rules are met.
• Multi-Selection: Allows customers to choose their preferred gift from a list.
• Goal-Based: Progress bars that unlock gifts at specific spend thresholds.

2. Buy X Get Y (BOGO) Use this for classic "Buy One, Get One" deals. You can set conditions based on:

• Collections
• Product Types
• Product Tags

3. Other Promotion Types

• Tiered Discounts: Offer higher percentage off for higher spend (e.g., Spend $100 get 10%, Spend $200 get 20%).
• Free Shipping: Create standalone free shipping offers.
• Custom Discount Builder: A "blank canvas" for advanced merchants who want to build a specific discount structure from the ground up.

Technical Note: The Native Engine Advantage

Built on Shopify Native Functions Kite does not use "hacks" or draft order manipulation to create discounts. All our offers are built directly upon Shopify’s Native Discount Engine. This ensures maximum stability and compatibility with your store's checkout process.
