Do I have to create one code, or can Growth Suite generate unique codes for each person (e.g., for an email campaign)?

Question

I'm running an email marketing campaign and want to send personalized discount codes to my subscribers. I'm unsure whether I need to manually create individual codes for each recipient or if there's a more efficient way to generate unique, single-use codes that can be dynamically assigned. I want to ensure each subscriber receives a distinct code that can only be used once, without spending hours manually creating these codes. How can I automate this process and ensure each code is truly unique and trackable?

One Code vs. Unique Codes Per PersonThe choice between a single shared code and unique per-person codes affects security, perception, and attribution. For most campaigns, a single shared code is sufficient. For high-value offers or situations where code sharing would cause meaningful margin exposure, unique per-person codes are worth the additional setup.Single Shared Code vs. Unique CodesFactorSingle Code (WELCOME15)Unique Per-PersonSetup complexitySimple - one code in ShopifyRequires bulk code generation + email personalizationCode sharing riskHigh - can be posted on coupon sitesLow - each code works onceCustomer perceptionStandardMore exclusive, feels personalAttributionOnly campaign-levelIndividual customer-levelGenerating Unique Codes in ShopifyShopify supports bulk code generation for gift card-style unique codes. In Discounts, create a discount and use the bulk generation option to create hundreds or thousands of unique codes with the same discount parameters. Export the list and inject one code per recipient in your email platform (Klaviyo supports this natively through unique coupon code blocks).Growth Suite Personalized OffersGrowth Suite's Personalized Email Capture Campaigns generate individual offers with genuine expiry tied to each visitor session - creating the unique-per-person experience on-site without requiring bulk code generation and email platform integration.
