Common questions

How do I create a promo code for my online store?

In Pludor, open Promotions in the Growth & AI menu, then under Create a promo code set the code, the discount and an expiry date. Then share it in your posts, Flika videos or live streams. If you're not on Pludor, most store platforms have a discount code section in their settings where you set the same three things.

How do I run a sale without manually changing every price?

Use a sale price feature instead of editing your regular price. In Pludor, edit a product and add a sale price - the original price shows with a strikethrough, so shoppers see the discount. When the sale ends, just remove the sale price and your normal price is back.

How much does Pludor Promotions & Promo Codes cost?

It's on for every store, including the Free plan. Each month you get a free amount of usage, then pay only for what you use in credits, where 1 credit = 1 cent. New stores also get 500 free credits added.

How do I make sure my discount still makes me money?

Work out your margin: take your price, subtract your cost, then subtract the discount amount to see what you keep per sale. Pludor has a free Discount & Sale Price Calculator that does this instantly - enter your price, cost and discount, no account needed.

Can I send emails to customers automatically when I run a sale?

Yes. In Pludor's Promotions, enable the automated customer emails you want, including price-drop alerts for shoppers who saved an item. That means people who were interested in a product get told when it goes on sale without you emailing anyone by hand.

What's the best way to share a promo code so people actually use it?

Put the code where your audience already is: posts, short videos and live streams. Pludor suggests sharing codes in your posts, Flika videos or live streams, and creators can pin your product in their Flika videos if you run affiliate promotions. Always state the code, the discount and the expiry clearly.

How do I set up my first online store to run promotions on?

Go to pludor.com/setup, choose a store name and business type, and sign up - no card needed on the Free plan. Then open Products in the Core Commerce menu to add your first product with name, price, photos and stock, and connect Stripe in Settings so payments reach your bank. After that, Promotions is available right away.

Is it safe to give creators commission to promote my products?

Yes, if you set the commission yourself and track attributed sales. In Pludor, open UGC Promoted Products in the Content & Creator menu, pick which products creators can promote, and set what they earn per attributed sale - you only pay on sales actually credited to them. You can also hire a specific creator directly through Hire a Creator.

Do I need a paid plan to use promo codes and sale prices?

No. Sale prices and promo codes are included on the Free plan, along with a free monthly amount of usage. You only pay for what you use past those free amounts, and your store, checkout and orders never switch off for lack of credit.

Can I follow up with customers automatically after a sale?

Yes, with automation rules. In Pludor, open Automation Rules in the Management menu, pick a trigger like new order or delivered order, then pick an action such as sending a template, adding a tag or creating a nudge. Test it with a test order, and check Failed in Outreach if any message doesn't deliver.
