How do I implement advanced discount fraud prevention strategies?

As an e-commerce business owner, I'm increasingly concerned about discount fraud and its potential impact on my store's profitability. I've noticed coupon codes being shared on public forums, resold online, and used in ways that weren't originally intended. I need comprehensive strategies to prevent abuse, protect my margins, and maintain the integrity of my promotional campaigns without creating friction for legitimate customers. What advanced techniques can I implement to detect, prevent, and mitigate discount fraud risks?

The short answer

After installing Growth Suite, verify setup by previewing your store in incognito mode, browsing to a product page, and simulating exit intent (move your cursor toward the browser's address bar). You should see your popup appear within 1-2 seconds of triggering exit behavior.

Verifying Growth Suite Is Working on Your Beauty Store

After installation and campaign setup, always verify the full customer experience in incognito mode before considering setup complete. Testing in your own account or normal browser may behave differently due to existing session cookies, admin access, or logged-in customer status.

Common Setup Issues and Fixes

Popup not appearing: Check that the campaign is set to "Active" status, that your test page matches the campaign's target URL settings, and that you're testing in incognito mode (not your logged-in admin account which may be excluded).

Timer not counting: Confirm you're testing the actual live campaign, not a preview. Some popup preview modes show static images of the timer rather than the live countdown. Test on your actual storefront URL.

Code not applying: Verify the discount is set to "percentage off" or "fixed amount" correctly in campaign settings, and that there are no minimum order conflicts between the Growth Suite campaign and your Shopify discount settings.
