It pays the people already buying
A shopper with their card out takes the ten percent too. The discount did not create that order; it shrank it, and no conversion-rate chart will ever show you that.
Earn your discount
A follow. A sign-up. A review. A second item in the basket. Twenty things a shopper can do for your store, each worth a number you choose.
The problem with a flat coupon
A shopper with their card out takes the ten percent too. The discount did not create that order; it shrank it, and no conversion-rate chart will ever show you that.
Once a shopper has had a code, they look for one every visit — and if it does not appear, they leave to search for it. You trained your own traffic to treat list price as a suggestion.
At the end of the month you know what the discounts cost. You have no idea what they bought, because they were not buying anything.
None of this means discounting is wrong. It means an unconditional discount is a bad trade, and the fix is to ask for something back.
In the widget
Each card says what it is worth in money, not points, and the reward comes straight off the price they are negotiating.

Fourteen more run on trust — TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Pinterest, a Google review, a share, a newsletter sign-up, an account, or a link of your own. You price each one, and the campaign caps the stack.
The full list
Fourteen run on trust and say so. Six are basket goals that Shopify's checkout verifies for real before any discount applies.

Setting the numbers
That is the test. If the answer is yes, the price is right, and it does not much matter whether every shopper genuinely did the thing. If a reward only makes sense provided they really followed you, it is priced too high for something granted on trust.
The long version, with the reasoning, is in what is a follow actually worth.
Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial and carries the whole product. See them on the pricing page.

Instead of handing every shopper the same coupon, the discount is attached to something the shopper does for the store: a follow, a subscribe, a review, a share, a newsletter or SMS sign-up, or a basket goal like adding a second item. You price each one, so the discount buys something back.
A flat coupon pays the shoppers who were already buying and teaches everyone else to wait for the next code. An earned discount goes only to shoppers willing to do something for it, and you know exactly what you bought with it.
For basket goals, yes — Shopify's own checkout verifies them before the discount applies. For social actions, no, and the widget says so out loud: no platform lets an app confirm a follow or a like. Price those as a thank-you you would happily give anyone who asks, and the campaign cap limits the worst case.
Two or three percent is a common starting point, five for a newsletter or SMS sign-up because the shopper is handing over a contact detail, and five for a review because it is high effort and works on every future visitor. These are defaults you edit.
A cap on the stack. Rewards add up only to the maximum you set for the campaign — 20% of list by default — and nothing is ever priced below 5% of list. The campaign wizard shows the worst case in money before you can set it live.
No, and that matters legally as well as commercially. Marketing opt-in is unbundled: the discount mechanic works in full without it, so a shopper who declines still gets to earn a discount other ways. Nothing is pre-ticked, and the decline option carries the same visual weight as accept.
Set the lowest price you'll take, price the favours, and let shoppers work their way down to it.
