Note: if you are using a Shopify website, you will have access to additional features like Auto redeem and Automatically generated coupon codes. We will discuss these features in detail below.

Most of the templates have the Coupon Code Element on the Thank You page that you can select at the bottom of the page:

How to set up multiple, unique coupon codes?

OptiMonk allows you to provide unique coupon codes to your visitors. This will guarantee that one visitor gets one coupon code only once at a time.

To use it, select uploaded Unique codes under General / Discount type in the Coupon Code Element settings:

The next step is to upload your coupon codes. To do so, click on Upload & edit coupons:

You can put them down manually, divided by comma, or upload a .txt or .csv file with the generated coupons:

Once you are done, click Add.

Once the coupon codes are uploaded, you can track how many of them have been seen by the visitors earlier and how many of them are left:

Finally, you can decide on what should happen next when the visitors have already seen all of the coupon codes:

  • Stop campaign: The campaign will no longer be displayed
  • Show text: You can leave a message to your visitors that the coupon code is no longer available (for example, if you run a limited promotion). 


Once you are done with the settings, the last step is to save your work by clicking on Next then Save & Next (if you are setting up a new Campaign) or Save & Exit (if you are editing an existing Campaign) in the top right corner:
