Offers overview and go-live checks
The kinds of offer PageStax runs, what each needs in Shopify, and how go-live checks keep every promise real.
Offers are the things that help shoppers buy more: a cross-sell in the cart, a quantity break in the buy box, a free-shipping or free-gift milestone, a countdown. PageStax has one rule for all of them: if Shopify won't honour it, PageStax won't show it. A discount always has a real Shopify discount behind it, a gift is really free, and "free shipping" matches a real free rate.
Where offers live#
- In your pages. Buy boxes, rewards bars, add-on toggles, in-cart offer slots and countdowns are elements you add and set up in the editor.
- In the Offers tab. The Offers list shows each offer's Mechanism (what makes it real), where it shows, its 30-day results and its status: Live, Needs a fix, Paused or Draft.
- In journeys, which show offers at set moments. See Journeys, frequency caps and holdouts.
What each reward needs#
| Reward | What makes it real in Shopify |
|---|---|
| Full price (no discount) | A real product variant — added at its normal price, no code needed. |
| Percent or amount off | A Shopify discount code that exists and is active. |
| Free shipping | A delivery rate in your shipping settings that is free at or below your threshold. |
| Free gift | An automatic Shopify discount that makes the gift variant free once the cart reaches the goal. PageStax creates it for you. |
| Bundle pricing in the cart | Not available yet — refused at go-live. Sell the bundle as its own product, or use a bundle buying option in the buy box. |
Go-live checks#
A new offer is always a draft. When an offer goes live, PageStax checks it against your store, right then:
- the suggested product has a variant, and the product is active and on the Online Store sales channel;
- a discount code exists in Shopify and is active;
- a free gift's automatic discount exists, is active, makes that exact variant free, and doesn't need a bigger cart than your goal — PageStax switches the gift's discount on at this moment;
- for free shipping, a delivery rate is free at or below your threshold.
If anything fails, the offer stays a draft and you get one sentence naming the problem, such as "Winter socks" cannot go live: code WINTER10 does not exist in Shopify, so checkout would reject it. See Offer refused at go-live.
Then push live#
Going live is a decision; shoppers see the offer from the next Push live. See Publishing, push live and unpublishing.
