Getting Started with Zipify Coupon Countdown

Now that you have Zipify Coupon Countdown set up with your Shopify store, let’s look at how to create your first coupon.

Go to Apps >> Zipify Coupon Countdown >> Triggers:

You should see that a default trigger has already been created in your dashboard. Here, let’s look at setting up a new one. Click on Add New (+):

There are many features you can include in your Zipify Coupon:

Trigger

First, you’ll set up the trigger and what sets it off:

You’ll need a name for your trigger. If you plan on creating different types of triggers (i.e. Limited Time Coupon, Coupon Offer On Exit, etc.) you should use a name to identify each trigger and how it works on your page.

Next, there are 3 possible trigger conditions you can choose from:

i) Timed Action – Allows you to set a trigger based on the amount of time someone visits your store pages. Your choices are:

• Time on Site
• Time on Any Product Page
• Time on Product Page from a Specific Collection
• Time on Specific Product Page(s)

ii) Customer Action – Allows you to set a trigger based on certain actions a visitor takes on your store. Your choices are:

• Entry Popup
• View (x) Pages of Store
• View (x) Pages from a Specific Collection
• View (x) Specific Product Pages

iii) Exit Intent – Allows you to set a trigger just before a visitor exits your store.

Once you have decided how your coupon will be triggered, you can control when and how often your coupon will appear to them. You can control:

• Countdown duration (in minutes)
• Duration before visitors sees pop again (in minutes, hours, or days)
• Maximum number of times your coupon will appear to a visitor (0 = Unlimited)

Discount

The next step is to determine your discount and for whom it applies. You can choose the following types of discounts:

• Percentage Discount
• Fixed Amount
• Free Shipping

Below this, you can decide whether your visitors must make a minimum purchase before they can use your coupon:

You can choose what this coupon applies to:

• Entire Store
• Selected Collections
• Selected Products

Finally, you can choose which customers can receive your coupon. If you choose “Selected Groups”, you have these options:

• Abandoned Checkouts
• Email Subscribers
• From [Location]
• New (Customers)
• Returning (Customers)

Desktop

Now it’s time to design the desktop appearance of your coupon as a pop-up or success bar on your store.

To the right of this are all the settings to adjust the style of your coupon.

1. Device Appearance – Allows you to control where your popup will appear, the size, color, and image:

2. Offer Headline – Allows you to use HTML and text to customize the headline exactly as you want it:

3. Countdown Timer Clock – Allows you to set the duration and font style for your timer.

4. Call to Action Button – Allows you to create an eye-catching button for visitors to receive your coupon.

5. Endnote Text – Allows you to add conditions or more details about your coupon (i.e. expires by, limited time only, requires minimum $XX purchase, etc.):

6. Success Bar Headline – Allows you to create custom text to confirm that your coupon has been received.

Mobile

The settings you used from your desktop app will be applied to the mobile appearance as well. If you want to make some changes, use “Custom” to adjust your mobile coupon.

In the “Devices and Appearances” setting for your mobile coupon, you change the pop-up to “Sticky” which keeps the coupon on the page as they scroll up and down.

Review

The final step before activating your trigger is to review everything then click “Finish”.

If you’re satisfied with your coupon, you’re ready to put it to work and let your visitors save on their shopping.

Drawbacks / Benefits of Zipify Coupon Countdown

Undoubtedly, Zipify Coupon Countdown has the potential to generate more sales or encourage first time visitors to make a purchase.

Coupons have always been an enticing way for shoppers to take advantage of a discount to save money on their carts or receive a special promotion such as free shipping.

Also, if there’s a lot of competition in your product niche, offering a discount or some other benefit to your customer can give your store one more reason to be their top shopping destination. Customers love keeping more money in their pockets and coupons are the way to do it.

Another benefit that Zipify Coupon Countdown provides is an easy-to-understand analytics report telling you how much money you’ve earned using coupons. This can be very helpful when creating marketing strategy to boost sales even more.

Right now, it is difficult to find any drawbacks to Zipify Coupon Countdown. Perhaps having to use your credit card to enjoy the 30-day Money Back period or start the 14-day free trial might make you hesitate before getting started.

However, we have tested Zipify’s No-Risk Promise and it was a breeze to get a refund (no questions asked) or ending the trial (navigating to the Apps page and clicking on the garbage is all it takes).

This should allow you to use all the features to start testing coupons that work for your store before incurring any irreversible charges. In all cases, subscription fees are only $9 per month. Not bad.
