Getting started

1. Install

Install PromoLock from the Shopify App Store. Nothing is changed on your theme or storefront.

2. Activate your trial

On first open you’ll be asked to pick a plan and activate your trial. You won’t be charged until the trial ends, and uninstalling ends it automatically.

3. Follow the setup guide

The dashboard opens with a Setup Guide — four steps, each checked off automatically as you complete it:

1. Add the checkout extension (Shopify Plus) — click Add to checkout, add PromoLock in the checkout editor, save. One-time step; there’s a Learn how to add video right on the card.
2. Turn on discount loss analytics — click Setup Analytics, then Initialize report. Your loss report builds in the background and refreshes daily from then on.
3. Create your first growth discount — build a simple first offer in Discounts; guardrails can be added any time.
4. Enforce your first checkout control — flip on a lock in the Controller. The stacking lock is the classic low-impact first move.

That’s the whole setup. For what to do in your first week, follow Stop discount loss from day one.
