Getting Started: Basic Setup

Idea

To get you started as quick as possible we'll cover the essential steps:

  1. Set up two discount codes in Shopify

  2. Add the codes to Clawcrane

  3. Preview the results

  4. Go live. 🙂

Step 1: Create two discount codes in Shopify

Create the Consolation prize

In your Shopify backend, click on Discounts > Create a Discount Code. Choose a rather low discount percentage (e.g. 5%), set the desired options and click "Save".

This will be the consolation prize. It it usually relatively easy to catch (can be changed in the setup), thus the low discount.

Create the Jackpot prize in Shopify

Create yet another discount code in Shopify with a higher percentage (e.g. 15%). This will be our jackpot prize, which will be difficult to capture.

Step 2: Set up the prizes within the app

Open the app and select both discount codes in the sections ..

  • "Settings > Prize: Consolation"

  • "Settings > Prize: Jackpot"

Another discount option to consider is fixed vs auto-generated.

  • Fixed codes will be given to your customer exactly as you've created them. Example: Always CONSOLATION-PRICEfor every customer.

  • The auto-generated option will create individualized copies of your discount code for each customer, e.g. CONSOL-2XFE3P, CONSOL-83F3AQ, CONSOL-4PS34O and so on.

Don't forget to apply the analogous changes in the "Settings > Prize: Jackpot" section. 😉

Step 3: Preview 🧪

In order to see what the app will look like in your store, go to the very bottom and hit "Save & Preview". This will automatically take you to your storefront and simulate what the app will look like for your customers.

As long as Enable or Disabled in Online Store is set to Disabled, your customers will not be able to see the game.

Step 4: Ready to go

It's time to go live: at the very bottom under "Other Settings > Enable or Disable in Online Store", set the app to "Enabled" and hit the save button.

Navigate to your storefront and try out the app. 😁🚀

Don't worry - The charge you accept is only due after the trial period is over. In case the app doesn't work for you and you cancel within trial, you'll not be charged.

Step 5: What's next?

You'll surely want to try out various settings. Here are the most important to explore 🕵️‍♀️

In case you're lost - you'll always find helpful descriptions on the (?)-icon.
