Intent-Based Offers Shopify limited-time offers, only for the visitors who need one

Growth Suite reads every visit like a good salesperson. Shoppers who came to buy pay full price. The ones likely to walk away get one personalized, limited-time offer while they're still interested, with their own code and a real countdown.

The problem

A store-wide Shopify discount code pays everyone

Your visitors fall into three groups. Some came to buy. Some are just looking. And some like what they see but are likely to leave. A store-wide discount treats all of them the same.

How it works

It watches the visit, then picks the moment

Growth Suite follows each visit as it happens: which products someone looks at, how long they stay, what goes into the cart and whether they head to checkout. Here's the same product page, seen by two different shoppers.

Limited time offer

Exclusive 10% ↘ discount for you

Your Price $180 - $200

The offer can come at three moments

01

While they're looking at a product

Real time on the page, nothing in the cart yet.

02

After they add to cart

Something's in the cart, but they stall.

03

When they come back after leaving checkout

They left without paying and returned later.

Thermometer showing visitor interest, from warm to cold

Sized for each person

Personalized discounts: the warmer the visitor, the smaller the push

Not every walk-away visitor needs the same offer. Someone who's clearly interested only needs a small nudge. Someone who's barely engaged needs a better reason.

Warm

Smaller discount, shorter timer

They're close to buying. A small push is enough.

Cool

Bigger discount, more time

They need more of a reason to come back to it.

Always inside the minimum and maximum discount you set for each campaign.

What the shopper sees

Their offer follows them all the way to Shopify checkout

04

The code is already applied

Nothing to copy or type. A single-use code made for this visitor.

✦

Scratch to reveal, if you want it

The offer can start as a secret card the visitor scratches open. Switch it on or off whenever you like.

◎

No theme code to touch

Everything is added with Shopify theme app blocks. Fonts follow your theme, and you can change colors, text and position.

Real urgency

A real limited-time offer: no fake timers, no codes floating around

GSC_JNTVXHPF506

One code, one visitor

Every offer gets its own single-use code, applied to the cart automatically. Shared, it still works only once.

09:41

A countdown that means it

Same across refreshes and tabs. At zero, the discount leaves the cart and the code is deleted from Shopify.

7 days

Then it backs off

A visitor who got an offer won't see another for 7 days by default. Set it anywhere from 1 to 89.

You're in control

You set the rules. Growth Suite works inside them.

Four T-shirts, two marked as included in discounts and two excluded

Discount rules: exclude products by vendor, title, collection or sale status, and cap any discount at a fixed amount, like $100, even on a very large cart.

Discount range

Minimum and maximum percentage for each trigger campaign. Growth Suite picks a value inside it for each visitor.

Offer length

Smart mode picks a length inside a range, 20 to 40 minutes by default. Fixed mode uses one length, 30 minutes by default.

Custom audiences

New or returning visitors, device, operating system, landing page, source/medium, return behavior, product views and last-session events.

Cooldown

How long before the same visitor can get another offer. 7 days by default, from 1 to 89.

A/B testing

Test discount ranges, offer lengths and the traffic split, and judge the result on conversion rate, AOV or revenue.

Running from day one

When you finish onboarding, a ready-made campaign is already live. Adjust it whenever you're ready.

FAQ

Questions merchants ask

Book a demo →

What is an intent-based offer?

A time-limited discount that only goes to visitors whose behavior says they probably won't buy on their own. Visitors who came to buy never see it.

How do I create a limited-time offer on Shopify?

Install Growth Suite and finish onboarding. A ready-made campaign is already live when you're done. Then set your discount range, offer length and cooldown whenever you're ready.

Can I show a discount only to visitors likely to leave without buying?

Yes. That's what intent-based offers do. Growth Suite follows each visit and makes an offer only when someone looks likely to walk away. Dedicated buyers check out at full price.

Is this an exit-intent popup for Shopify?

No. An exit-intent popup shows one code to everyone who tries to leave, right as they leave. An intent-based offer comes while the visitor is still interested, with a single-use code and a real countdown.

How is this different from an abandoned cart discount?

An abandoned cart discount usually arrives by email after the shopper has left. An intent-based offer shows up in your store while they're still browsing, or when they come back after leaving checkout.

Will buyers get a discount they didn't need?

No. Visitors who look ready to buy don't see an offer, so they check out at full price.

When does the offer appear?

At one of three moments: while a visitor is looking at a product, after they add to cart and stall, or when they come back after leaving checkout without paying.

How big is the discount?

You set a minimum and maximum percentage for each trigger campaign. Growth Suite picks a value inside it for each visitor: a smaller discount and a shorter timer for warm visitors, more of both for those barely engaged.

Can I target specific visitors, like returning shoppers on mobile?

Yes. Custom audiences use new or returning visitors, device, operating system, landing page, source/medium, return behavior, product views and last-session events.

What happens when the timer runs out?

The discount leaves the cart and the code is deleted from Shopify. It can't be used later or switched back on.

Can shoppers share their code?

They can pass it on, but it works for one checkout and runs out with the timer. Our guide to single-use codes explains why that matters.

Do I need to edit my Shopify theme?

No. The elements are Shopify theme app blocks. You adjust colors, text and position without touching code.
