Overview
Many digital stores depend on paid ads and traditional promotions to reach new visitors. Social Discounts gives you another route: your own customers. When a buyer shares a product on a social platform, they receive a discount in return. That share puts your product in front of their followers and can bring in visitors who already trust the person recommending it.
The plugin works inside your existing Easy Digital Downloads store. You choose the discount amounts and the conditions that apply to sharing on platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. The discount is applied automatically at checkout, and reporting lets you see how social discounts affect your sales and traffic. It suits store owners who want a simple, reward-based way to encourage sharing.
Features
- Works with Easy Digital Downloads: The plugin connects to your existing EDD store, so social discounts fit into the setup you already use without extra manual work on each order.
- Customizable sharing rewards: Set the discount amounts and the conditions for sharing on platforms like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, so the reward matches your own marketing goals.
- Automatic discount at checkout: Once a customer has shared, the social discount is applied automatically at checkout, which keeps the buying process straightforward for them.
- Percentage or fixed discounts: Choose between a percentage discount and a fixed amount, so each promotion can be shaped to fit how your store sells its products.
- Reporting and analytics: Track how social discounts affect your sales and traffic, and use that information to adjust your promotions over time.
- Customer sharing incentive: Customers get a reason to share your products and stay connected with your brand, which encourages word-of-mouth promotion across their social networks.
- Mobile responsive and lightweight: The plugin is built to perform well across devices without slowing down your website, so shoppers on phones and tablets can take part.
- Simple setup interface: A user-friendly interface lets you set up social discount campaigns quickly, without needing technical expertise.
