Expiration date of unique coupon code in a FLOW setting

Hi everyone,

I want to create a flow that sends out a unique coupon code which is valid for 7 days.

Now, from what I understand, Klaviyo will “request” a code from Shopify once someone reaches that stage in the flow, and Shopify will create 100 codes with an expiration date that’s 7 days in the future. 

Now my question is:

What if another customer reaches that step in the flow, say, 3 days later? Will Klaviyo send one of the 100 pre-generated codes (99 still being unused)? If so, will the expiration date be 3 days later for this code or not?

Or will Klavio request a new set of 100 codes with Shopify that feature the “later” expiration date? (which would be very wasteful!)

--

Please explain in detail how this works!

Thx

It will create a new set so that the expiry date matches with when they get the coupon code. 

 

Shopify has a limit of 20,000,000 unique coupon codes.

As your business grows, I’m sure you’ll need to generate more than the 100 per day :)

 

If it’s not at the point yet, you have more than enough coupon codes (547 years worth at 100 per day, if my math is right)

Thanks!

Your calculation of 547 years is a) correct and b) pretty impressive! LOL

So I won’t worry about maxing out the codes ;-)
