About this template
Introduction to the Shopify Discount Code Creation Template
Welcome to the Shopify Discount Code Creation Template! This template is designed to help you easily create price rules and discount codes for your Shopify store using the Shopify Admin API. With this template, you can provide a base set of data for the price rule and optionally include additional fields to customize the rule further. The process is secure and straightforward, as the Shopify Admin API token is taken from environment secrets within the Lazy Builder.
Getting Started
To begin using this template, simply click on "Start with this Template" in the Lazy Builder interface. This will pre-populate the code in the Lazy Builder interface, so you won't need to copy, paste, or delete any code.
Initial Setup: Adding Environment Secrets
Before you can use this template, you'll need to set up an environment secret for the Shopify Admin API token. Here's how to do it:
- Log in to your Shopify Admin dashboard.
- Go to the "Apps" section and create a new private app to obtain an API token.
- Copy the Admin API token provided by Shopify.
- In the Lazy Builder, navigate to the Environment Secrets tab.
- Create a new secret with the key
SHOPIFY_ADMIN_API_TOKENand paste the API token you copied as the value.
Test: Deploying the App
Once you have set up the environment secret, you can deploy the app by pressing the "Test" button. This will begin the deployment of the app and launch the Lazy CLI.
Entering Input
After pressing the "Test" button, the Lazy App's CLI interface will appear. If the template requires user input, you will be prompted to provide the necessary information through the CLI. This may include the Shopify store URL, price rule details, and discount code information.
Using the App
After the app is deployed, Lazy will provide you with a dedicated server link to use the API. If you're using FastAPI, you will also receive a link to the API documentation. You can use these links to interact with the app and create price rules and discount codes for your Shopify store.
Integrating the App
If you need to integrate this app into an external service or frontend, you can use the server link provided by Lazy. For example, you might want to add the API endpoints to a custom dashboard or use them in conjunction with other tools that support API requests.
Here's a sample request to create a price rule:
POST /create_price_rule
Host: [Your Lazy Server Link]
Content-Type: application/json
{
"shopify_store_url": "yourstore.myshopify.com",
"base_data": {
"title": "10% Off Everything",
"value": "-10.0",
"starts_at": "2023-01-01T00:00:00Z"
}
}
And here's a sample response you might receive:
{
"price_rule_id": "1234567890"
}
Remember to replace [Your Lazy Server Link] with the actual server link provided by Lazy and yourstore.myshopify.com with your actual Shopify store URL.
By following these steps, you can quickly set up and use the Shopify Discount Code Creation Template on the Lazy platform to enhance your Shopify store's promotional capabilities.
