Hey All,
I am trying to create discount codes programmatically in a shopify store, using the GraphQL requests. The requests are successful & I can see the codes being generated in the store. I have provided the screenshots below. The GraphQL requests I am using is also shared below.
As you can see in the Screenshot 3, for every request I make a single discount code “12345678” gets created. Lets say under “code basic test”, I want to add multiple unique codes like “12345678”, “abcd”, “wxyz” etc.; is it doable? This way I can generate many unique codes where all codes will follow the “code basic test” discount rules.
- Is there any way to create multiple codes under the “code basic test” container?
- I would like to generate these codes on an ongoing basis i.e. would prefer to add codes on a daily basis rather than to create all codes one time. I tried using the update mutation (request payload shared below) & what it does is, it overwrites the existing code with a new code rather than adding a new code.
The reason I need this is because:
- I need to create unique bulk codes. If I create a new “code basic test” discount code rule every time I generate a code, there will be 100s of records in the Shopify Discounts section. This will not be a good experience.
- Plus, the maintenance of codes will be difficult. I would rather prefer a single record which I can modify anytime & all the associated codes “12345678”, “abcd”, “wxyz” etc. will get updated.
If possible, Please share the GraphQL request to add the codes. Thanks!
