Setting subscription limits
When using subscription rewards, you can limit the number of recurring payments the reward is applied using one of the following options:
Label | Definition |
Limit discount to first payment | The discount will only be applied to the next recurring payment once. |
Limit discount to multiple recurring payments | The discount will be applied once to each "x" number of recurring payments. |
Discount applies to all recurring payments | The discount will be applied once to each recurring payment for the lifetime of the subscription. |
🔔 Enter the number of times a reward should be applied in the "Number of Recurring Payments" field. Anything greater than two or more will result in multiple payments having a reward applied.
Completing the steps above will enable your customers to apply Okendo discount codes at Shopify's checkout on one-time and subscription purchases.
Tracking discounts in Shopify
Once subscription discounts are enabled, you can track discount codes and usage directly within Shopify. You can learn more about Shopify discounts here.
🔔 All Okendo generated discounts are prefixed with "OKR".
