Overview

Price objections kill sales. A customer loves your product but hesitates because of cost. By the time your support team manually creates a discount code, the customer has already left. You need the ability to generate personalized coupons instantly, right when the buying intent is highest.

Zipchat's Create Unique Discounts ability generates single-use Shopify discount codes automatically during conversations. You control when discounts trigger and how much to offer. Want to negotiate with price-sensitive customers? Set a maximum percentage and let the AI haggle. Want to reward customers who mention a keyword like "BFCM" or "BIRTHDAY"? Configure it. Need to recover abandoned carts on WhatsApp with a time-sensitive offer? Done.

Each code is unique and redeemable only once. The AI creates it directly in Shopify and delivers it conversationally across any channel: chat bubble, WhatsApp, email, Instagram, or Messenger. You decide the rules for each scenario. Cart recovery conversations might allow up to 15% off, while support upsells might cap at 10%. Keyword-based promotions can have their own limits.

Brands using dynamic discount generation see 21% higher chat-to-sale conversion rates within 30 days of implementation. WhatsApp cart recovery rates jump by 15% because the AI can negotiate and close deals in real-time. Support email upsells increase by 12% when agents can offer instant incentives. The key advantage over static promotional campaigns is precision. Discounts only go to customers who need that final push, protecting your margins while maximizing conversions. You're not training customers to always expect discounts. You're using them strategically at decision moments.

Scenario description

Price Negotiation in Live Chat

A customer is browsing your $180 leather bag and messages: "I love this but it's a bit over my budget right now."

The AI recognizes the price objection and responds: "I understand budget is important. Since you're ready to buy today, I can offer you a discount. What price point works for you?"

Customer: "Maybe around $150?"

AI: "Let me see what I can do. I can offer you 10% off, which brings it to $162. That's the best I can do right now. Want me to create your unique code?"

Customer agrees. The AI generates a single-use code instantly: "Here's your code: SAVE10-K3M9. It's valid for 24 hours and works only on this bag. Ready to check out?"

The sale closes in minutes instead of being lost to hesitation. The customer feels like they negotiated a deal, and you protected 10% more margin than if you'd started at 15%.

Keyword-Based Birthday Discount

A customer messages: "Do you have any birthday discounts? It's my birthday month!"

The AI is prompted to reward birthday mentions with a 15% code. It responds immediately: "Happy birthday! I'd love to celebrate with you. Here's an exclusive 15% off code just for you: BDAY15-H7P2. Valid for 48 hours on your entire order. Treat yourself!"

The customer feels valued and gets immediate gratification. No waiting for support to approve it. No friction. Just instant reward for engagement, which dramatically increases the likelihood they'll complete a purchase right now.

Setup guide

    • Navigate to Dashboard → "AI Training" → "Prompt and Tools"

    • Set your maximum discount percentage (e.g., 15%, 20%) that the AI can never exceed
    • Configure different scenarios with custom prompts: negotiation strategies, keyword triggers (like "BFCM" or "BIRTHDAY"), cart recovery rules
    • Define channel-specific behaviors if needed (e.g., WhatsApp cart recovery may allow higher discounts than general chat)
    • Add negotiation instructions (e.g., "Start at 5%, only go to 10% if customer pushes back, never exceed 15%")
    • Test the ability with sample conversations before launching
  • FAQs

    How does Zipchat create unique discount codes in Shopify?

    Zipchat connects to your Shopify store through official API integration. When the AI determines a discount should be offered based on your rules, it generates a unique, single-use code directly in Shopify and delivers it to the customer in the conversation. The code is immediately active and trackable in your Shopify admin. Each code can only be redeemed once and expires based on your settings (typically 24-48 hours).

    Can I control when discounts are offered and how much?

    Absolutely. You have complete control through custom prompting. You can set maximum discount limits (e.g., never exceed 15%), define trigger conditions (price objections, keywords like "BFCM," cart abandonment), and create negotiation strategies (start low, increase only if needed). You can even set different rules for different channels or customer segments. The AI works within your boundaries, never exceeding what you've authorized.

    Which channels support automated discount code generation?

    All of them. The AI can generate and deliver discount codes across chat bubble, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and email. This is especially powerful for WhatsApp cart recovery and social media engagement where speed matters. A customer asks about a discount on Instagram at 10 PM, and they get a unique code instantly, not the next business day when your support team is online.

    Will this train customers to always ask for discounts?

    No, when used strategically. The key is conditional triggering. Don't prompt the AI to offer discounts to everyone. Instead, target specific scenarios: genuine price objections, cart abandonment, keyword promotions, high-value support conversations, or customer loyalty rewards. Customers who were going to buy anyway don't receive offers. Only those showing hesitation or specific qualifying behaviors get incentives. This maintains your brand value while maximizing conversions.

    What results do brands typically see from dynamic discount generation?

    Brands implementing this ability report 21% higher chat-to-sale conversion rates after 30 days. WhatsApp cart recovery rates improve by 15% because real-time negotiation closes deals before customers forget about their cart. Support email upsells increase by 12% when agents can instantly reward customers for considering additional products. Overall checkout completion rates improve by 10-25%, with the strongest gains coming from previously price-hesitant shoppers who needed that final incentive to commit.
