How to add product promo code

Taddy lets you showcase promo code on product pages to get discount. This feature adds urgency, motivating shoppers to complete their purchase.

This feature is working based on metafields. So, all you have to do is add a metafield definition, then set the promo code for the products you want.

Adding metafield definition #

Before you can add promo code (metafield value) to specific products, you need to add the necessary metafield definition for this information.

Note

This step only needs to be done once and will affect all products. If you have already done this, please skip it. Since metafields work independently of the theme, this step also doesn’t need to be done again when you update or reinstall the theme.

1. From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Metafields and metaobjects > Products

2. Click Add definition

3. In the Name field, enter Product promo code and then click the ‘Product promo code‘ generated as you type from the list. This is the metafied used for discount on specific product using promo code.

4. In the Namespace and key field, enter custom.promo_code And select content type, then choose True or false

5. Click Save to save the definition.

6. You should see the Promo code in the list of definitions by now.

2. Scroll down to the Metafields, to set an expiry time, click on the Promo code field. And set true or false

3. Click Save to save your changes
