TL;DR - Quick Answer

Set up Black Friday discount codes in Shopify at least 1 week early. Configure usage limits (maximum uses per code), per-customer limits (1 use), expiration date (exact BF end time), and minimum order value if applicable. Test every code before launch.

How Do I Set Up Black Friday Discount Codes?

Discount code setup is deceptively simple but has several failure modes that cause real problems on Black Friday: codes that don't expire, codes that can be used unlimited times, or codes that apply to products you didn't intend. Setting up codes correctly requires 20 minutes but prevents hours of customer service headaches.

Discount Code Setup Checklist

  • - Code format: Simple and memorable (BF25, FRIDAY20) vs. unique per customer
  • - Discount type: % off vs. fixed amount vs. free shipping
  • - Minimum order value: Set to nudge AOV upward (e.g., $50 minimum for 20% off)
  • - Product eligibility: Sitewide or specific collections? Define clearly
  • - Usage limit: Total uses AND per-customer (set to 1 per customer)
  • - Start/end date: Exact timestamp for BF start and end
  • - Test it: Place a test order with the code before launch

Growth Suite: Growth Suite generates unique per-customer discount codes that expire on the server side - unlike Shopify codes that continue working after "expiry" if already in a customer's cart. This prevents post-sale discount abuse.
