Currently, Shopify discount links do not automatically deep link to the app and apply the discount to the shopping session or cart. This is due to technical limitations and bottlenecks with the Shopify platform.
When a user scans a QR code containing a Shopify discount link (e.g., https://example-store.com/discount/COUPON), the discount is not automatically applied when the app is opened, even if deep linking is enabled for other features.
At present, there is no direct solution to make discount links deep link automatically to the app and apply the discount. Users will need to manually enter the discount code in the app during their shopping session.
Our development team is aware of this limitation and is researching potential solutions. However, due to the complexities involved with the Shopify platform, we cannot provide a specific timeline for when this feature might be available.
While waiting for a native solution, consider these alternatives:
Provide clear instructions to users on how to manually apply the discount code within the app.
Use in-app promotions or notifications to inform users about available discounts.
Explore other methods of discount distribution that are compatible with your current app setup.
We appreciate your patience as we work on improving the integration between Shopify discount links and our app. We will notify our users when updates or new features addressing this issue become available.
