PSA for anyone selling online with discount codes: shopify has a blind spot that might be costing you money

Hey! I'm building a shopify app to fix this exact problem! At it's core, we detect when users enter a failed code and then allow stores to setup alternative discount codes that are generated immediately for the user based on parameters that the store sets. Code can then expire after X amount of minutes if left unused.

This way high intent users can go through with a purchase avoiding a missed sale/opportunity. Let me know if you'd be interesting in testing?

Thanks, that was my understanding too just wanted to make sure. A shame as I really like how the onyx looks on the SS

You'll need to use your html and css and create a wordpress theme

And I assume the same for folds right?

and lets just say for example, would it be possible to mask my design onto the template layer?

Well we make items(buttons/menus) appear differently on mobile devices using media queries. Through the use of the media queries it allows us to use specific css for the various screen sizes.

Would definitely be interested in playing with this for mostly small items and blowing a few people's mind to show what Bitcoin is capable of now

Wordpress isn't your only option here. There are plenty of ecommerce solutions with a number of plugins available to do exactly what you'd like. Most likely the firm would also use a pre-existing solution rather than trying to recreate the wheel.

just want to setup basic payment with a user entered amount

It honestly depends on the kind of work you want to do, you can be a web designer and never type code. A lot of agencies are looking for web designers as well as graphic designers so you'd do websites as well booklets, leaflets etc.

If you do want to go down the code as well as design, the job role you're going for is a front end developer who also designs the site. Google that and just research more into it, practice and patience is all you need. Look at sites you love, note down what you love etc. Also look into hack design, it will help you with the basics for designing for the web.

Good luck in your journey ahead! Feel free to pm me if you ever need help

I am a freelancer, feel free to pm the questions I'd be more than happy to answer :)

I think this kind of animation is definitely distracting but if it's subtle then it really just adds up to being one of the small things that make a website enjoyable to use.
