A coupon batch is a set of discount codes that Atom Commerce creates in your Shopify store for you. Use one when you want to hand out many different codes, for example one per email recipient, one per influencer, or one per printed card. A batch holds the codes only. The discount itself comes from the offers you link to the batch.

When to use a coupon batch

​
How it works

  1. You create a batch and either generate the codes or provide your own.
  2. Atom Commerce creates the codes as discount codes in Shopify. The batch shows Preparing Codes until this finishes.
  3. When the batch is Ready, you link an offer to it or create one from the batch page. The offer decides what the customer gets.
  4. You download the codes and share them. Customers enter a code at checkout, or use a redemption link that applies the code for them.
Several offers can use the same batch. A customer’s code works for every active offer on the batch whose conditions the cart meets. Each offer follows its own dates.

​
Batch statuses

Closing a dialog never stops the work. The batch keeps preparing in the background, and you can follow it on the batch page and in the batch list.

​
Good to know

  • A batch has no start or end date of its own. Its dates in Shopify follow the offers linked to it, and each offer applies only within its own dates. See Using coupon batches with offers.
  • Customers can enter a code in Shopify’s discount code field at checkout or in the Cart Coupon field on your cart.
  • Recurring offers cannot use a coupon batch.
  • A batch that an offer uses cannot be deleted.
  • You can add more codes to a batch later. See Adding codes.
