How the codes are made

The generator follows the same rules as the Bulk codes discount type in Hand-E AI Discounts.

31 characters, no look-alikes. The random part uses capital letters and digits without 0 and O, without 1, I and L. Anyone typing a code from a printed card or reading it out on the phone won't mix them up.
Real randomness from your browser. Every code comes from true randomness in your browser, not from a pattern. Someone who sees one code on a flyer can't guess the others.
Every code only once. Duplicates are thrown out and drawn again. With 8 characters there are about 852 billion possible random parts.
One prefix per campaign. ANNA for an influencer, EXPO for coupon cards, HELLO for the newsletter: later you can tell from any code which campaign it came from.
Nothing is sent anywhere. The list is created on this page. We never see your codes, and unless you download them, they are gone when you close the page.

Getting the codes into your store

A list isn't a discount yet. A code only works at checkout once it is attached to a discount in Shopify.

One by one in the admin: In the discount form you enter a code or let a button generate one. Fine for a handful of codes.
With a developer: Through Shopify's Admin API, a developer can attach up to 250 codes at a time to a discount. This takes coding work. The list from this page fits right in.
With Hand-E AI Discounts: The Bulk codes discount type creates up to 1,000 codes per campaign directly as a Shopify discount, on every plan. Its CSV file only contains codes Shopify actually created.

Common questions

Can I import the CSV file straight into Shopify?

Not through the discount form in the admin. There you enter codes one at a time. A developer can upload a whole list through Shopify's Admin API, up to 250 codes at a time. Or you use an app that creates the codes in Shopify itself.

How long should the random part of a discount code be?

8 characters is a good middle ground: short enough to type, and with about 852 billion possibilities practically impossible to guess. 6 characters are enough for small campaigns, 10 or 12 for codes worth a lot.

Are the generated codes stored anywhere?

No. They are created in your browser and stay there. We never see them, and unless you download them, they are gone when you close the page.

Can the prefix contain spaces or special characters?

Spaces and special characters other than hyphen and underscore are removed, because Shopify advises against special characters in codes: links with a discount code may not work reliably otherwise. German umlauts are spelled out, so Ü becomes UE.

Hundreds of unique discount codes are needed

One Shopify discount can carry many codes, and a store can have up to 20 million unique codes. Hand-E AI Discounts generates up to 1,000 codes per campaign on every plan, with your own prefix. It creates them as one Shopify discount and gives you a CSV file.

The discount is set up but does not apply at checkout

Whether it is an automatic discount or a discount code, check two things first: the discount's own conditions and Shopify's rules for how discounts work together. These are combinations, minimum purchase requirements, customer eligibility, active dates and the limit of 25 active automatic discounts. Go through the points in order, then check the result with a test order.

Creating discounts takes too many clicks

On every plan of Hand-E AI Discounts, the free one included, you describe a discount in one sentence. The AI assistant finds the matching products and collections and suggests the complete discount. It creates the discount after your click. The discount stays inactive until you switch it on with a second click on “Switch on now”.
