Instant to Shopify native

2 Upvotes

I took my Figma layout to Shopify with the app instant now I've realized that since I'm not earning any money, it doesn't make sense to pay 40 euros a month. Is there a way to migrate my instant page to Shopify native so I don't have to pay any extra money?

When I have everything in Shopify can I then edit anything without having to pay any extra money?

What would be the best cheap and easy way to do this.

Thanks for your help in advance

How do you manage URL redirects when you delete or rename lots of products?

2 Upvotes

When a store removes products or changes handles, I go through Online Store > Navigation > URL redirects and add them. For a big batch I use the CSV import. The weak part is that I usually build the old-to-new mapping by hand in a spreadsheet, and it's easy to miss URLs that still get traffic or have backlinks.
How do you handle this on your projects? Do you pull the list of old URLs from somewhere specific, and do you check for redirect chains afterward?

Stuck with my Shopify App and looking for App store ads help

2 Upvotes

Hi all - Ritwik here from Aurevia - needed some help regarding ads on Shopify app store. Been doing cold outreach for some time now and i massively need to scale the infra to see some scale in my app's growth which is why we were planning to run Shopify app store ads as well.

Need some help from people here who are running ads and have seen success:

- What needs to be the daily budget?

- Should I run search result ads or homepage ads or category page ads?

- what is a good ROAS for ads on shopify app store that we should aim to achieve?

-any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated

PS: We did run search result ads for about a month or two with the free $100 ad credit and got 3 installs for $32.33 per install and $4.2 per click which seemed quite high but I don't know if it is and need some help there to understand the number there as well.

Cheers

Lesson learned: Shopify's native purchase limits are per variant, so I had to use a cart validation function for product-wide caps

1 Upvotes

I had a client who wanted to cap total sales of one product across all its variants, like sell 90 of 100 units online and keep the rest for wholesale and gifts, without touching inventory counts.

Shopify's built-in purchase limits work per variant, so they don't give you a product-wide cap. Hiding the product isn't enough either, since people can still reach checkout through old links or an existing cart.

What worked for me was a Cart and Checkout Validation Function that adds up quantities across every variant of the product and blocks the cart/checkout with a clear message when the cap is hit. I also added per-country allocations on top of that.

Gotchas: functions can't call external APIs, so all the cap data has to live in metafields. Also keep the error messages short, long ones get ugly in checkout.

Has anyone handled this differently?

We changed our logo after four Black Fridays. What we kept, what we dropped, and why

Hi all,

Merchants have known Discounty since 2022 by a green tag with a % mark. On October 14 we refreshed it. Writing it up because plenty of store owners here go through the same thing with their own logo, and the rule that held for us might be useful: keep what people already recognise, and fix only what has no reason to be there.

What we kept: the tag, the % mark and the green.

What we changed:

  • The hand-drawn loop on the tag is now an even circle.
  • The yellow layer behind the tag is gone. It was decoration with no meaning.
  • The tag sits at a gentler angle. The steep tilt read like a flash sale.
  • The % mark has even line weights, and it's drawn from the u and n in "Discounty".
  • The green is tuned so dark text on it reads more clearly (contrast went from 5.7:1 to 10.1:1).

If you use Discounty today, nothing changes in your store. Your campaigns keep running, and your settings and plan stay as they are.

I hope you all like the new look, and that Discounty keeps giving you a hand with your Black Friday sales this year: the same service you know, with a calmer, clearer look.

Black Friday setup: five decisions to make before you touch a discount screen

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

#Black_Friday is November 27. Most of the work in a sale isn’t the discount itself, it’s the decisions around it. Have these five answered before you open any discount screen:

  1. Which products are in, and which stay out (thin-margin items, new arrivals).
  2. How deep: one rate for everything, or tiers for bigger orders.
  3. Exact start and end, in your store’s time zone. Pick the end time on purpose, for example Monday 23:59, instead of switching it off when you remember.
  4. What stacks: can the sale combine with your welcome code or free shipping?
  5. How prices go back when it ends, and who checks that they did.

Once those are decided, what’s left is form-filling. That’s the part we built Lumos for, the assistant inside Discounty. You type the sale as one sentence, like “20% off the Winter Collection, Black Friday to Cyber Monday”, and it fills in the campaign. You check it and press Save. Nothing goes live on its own. It’s on every plan, including the free one, and the video shows one run.

Whatever you set your sale up with, answer the five first. Those are the decisions only you can make.

I hope it makes your BFCM setup a bit easier this year.
