Black Friday and Cyber Monday are coming up quick, so we decided to tackle a few needed Discount App features. Let's start with the simplest, and work toward the most amazingly cool.

The Zero Discount

In the past we stopped people from making a discount, that actually didn't give a customer a discount. This was to avoid screw ups and confusion, related to screw ups. But after much thought and pondering, we actually found a use for the Zero Discount. Let's say you made a discount called FREESTICKER, and told customers to put that in and you'll toss in a sticker. Well, in the past, this wasn't possible. You'd have to ask customers to leave a note. Blahhhh, that's dumb. Now with the Zero Discount, you can make a discount just for record keeping and fan/customer engagement!

Now you might be saying, "Hey, this isn't a new feature! It's just you correcting a platform limitation!" Well damn, take it easy. We were just whetting our appetites.

Scheduled Start and Stop

Here's an important one that's going to help a lot. Now you can schedule a discount code to start and stop at a certain date and time. Extremely important if you're running a Black Friday sale that starts at Midnight. Who can stay up till Midnight, nowadays? That's crazy time. Even if you could, you're going to need sleep so you can pack up all those orders you're going to get!

Feeling a little better about this update to the Discount App?

Discount By Product Category

Heyo!!! This is a huge feature. As you can probably guess, this new feature will allow you to apply discounts to one or more product categories. So maybe you'd like to keep a "Sale" category around all the time, and have a discount applied to everything that's in it. Then you can just go into products, and add the product to the "Sale" category, and bingo! The item can have a discount applied to it! Sounds pretty awesome right? Well it's even more powerful than you think.

A feature we've gotten so many requests for, can also be done with product category discounts. What if you had 50 products in your store, but only want to make a single product be available for discounts? In the past you'd need to mark every other one "Ineligible For Discounts". Blahhhhh, that's dumb too. Now you can create a category, hide it from your store, apply a discount to that category, and stick a single item in it! It's an incredible feature, that we're super happy with.

Be honest, you're impressed right?
