How to Capture More Customers on Shopify Without Expensive Apps: A Simple Knack Integration

At Melic Solutions, we know that not every business wants to spend money on yet another monthly subscription just to offer a first-time buyer discount. That's why we've created a straightforward, cost-effective way to integrate Knack with Shopify, helping you capture potential customers and reward them — all without ongoing app fees.

How It Works

Here's how this simple solution works, step-by-step:

1. Engage Visitors, Wherever They Land
   When a potential customer visits your Shopify store — whether they enter on your homepage or any other landing page — a pop-up appears after a set number of seconds.
2. Offer an Instant Incentive
   The pop-up invites them to enter their email address to receive a X% discount on their first order.
3. Deliver the Discount Code Instantly
   Once they submit their email, the discount code is revealed right there on the page. It's quick, easy, and gives your visitor a reason to make their first purchase immediately.
4. Build Your Own Customer List
   In the background, the customer's email, along with a date/time stamp, is automatically stored in your Knack database. No expensive email marketing add-ons or list management tools needed.
5. Follow Up for More Conversions
   If the code isn't used, you have the details to follow up manually — or you can automate this with a Knack Flow to send a gentle reminder.

Why It's So Effective

✅ One Discount Code, One Use
Your discount code stays consistent and can be set to work only once per customer — no complicated setup.

✅ No Recurring Fees
You avoid costly third-party pop-up or email capture apps that charge you every month.

✅ Customisable Follow-Ups
With Knack, you control when and how you follow up with potential customers, making your sales funnel more personal and effective.

Other Ways You Can Adapt This Simple Flow

One of the best parts about this integration is how flexible it is. Beyond just sharing a discount, you could:

• Invite Leads to Book a Call or Demo
  After a visitor enters their email, redirect them to your calendar where they can schedule a meeting via Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams.
• Send a Feedback or Pre-Order Survey
  Collect valuable insights by linking to a short survey after the form is submitted.
• Share an Exclusive Download
  Instantly deliver a PDF guide, white paper, or free resource in exchange for their email.
• Segment Your Leads Automatically
  Use Knack to tag contacts by interest or location so you can target them with personalised offers later.

Small Automation, Big Impact

With a simple Knack & Shopify integration, you can build a more engaged audience, convert more first-time buyers, and grow your business — all without adding another monthly bill to your expenses.
