FAQs
Q: What happens if I have no unique discount code sets yet?
A: You will still benefit, since the audit checks for safeguards on all Shopify discounts, not just ones created using Bulk Discount Code Bot.
Q: What happens if I already have unique discount sets?
A: You will still benefit, since the audit checks for safeguards on all discounts, not just new ones.
Q: Why do discounts without expiration dates matter?
A: Discounts active longer than 6 weeks are more likely to be shared on coupon sites, leading to misuse.
Q: Can I fix issues directly from the audit?
A: The audit only shows which discounts need attention. You can then edit the discounts in Shopify to add the recommended safeguards.
Q: Do I need Shopify Plus to use the discount risk audit?
A: No. The audit is included for all actively subscribed Grow plan merchants. Non-subscribed merchants can trial the Grow plan to access it.
