FAQ
Common questions we hear from merchants evaluating Quikly. If yours isn’t here, reach out — we’ll answer it and add it.
Can Quikly read live Shopify inventory and show “X units left” in a popup?
Section titled “Can Quikly read live Shopify inventory and show “X units left” in a popup?”Quikly works on offer limits rather than live SKU stock, which plays nicely with scarcity messaging. You set a redemption cap (a bit below your available units) and the campaign enforces it in real time.
So if you have 55–60 units pre-promo, you’d run something like “only the next 50 orders get X% off” with a live countdown as purchases come in. The cap becomes the marketing hook — and because it’s enforced by Quikly, you don’t have to worry about overselling if Shopify’s inventory count drifts.

Can I target only low-intent users?
Section titled “Can I target only low-intent users?”Yes. The strongest lever is list segmentation via an activation link. Quikly campaigns can be gated to a specific link, so the offer is only visible to traffic you send to it — e.g. email subscribers who haven’t engaged in the last 6 months. That gives you a clean, defined audience, predictable volume, and clear attribution.
You can also layer in on-site signals like exit intent, and suppress the campaign for logged-in repeat customers. We generally recommend leading with the segmented activation link though — it’s a more precise definition of “low intent” than behavioral guesses, and it measures better.

How long does it take to install and launch a first campaign?
Section titled “How long does it take to install and launch a first campaign?”Quikly installs from the Shopify App Store and the storefront extension drops into your theme without code changes. Most merchants are live with a first campaign the same day — configure the offer, set the cap and timing, point it at the audience or pages you want, and publish.

Will Quikly slow down my storefront?
Section titled “Will Quikly slow down my storefront?”No. The app extension is built against Shopify’s performance requirements (no more than a 10-point Lighthouse drop, which is the Built for Shopify bar). We continuously test against a clean storefront baseline.

How are discount codes generated and delivered?
Section titled “How are discount codes generated and delivered?”Quikly generates and manages standard Shopify discount codes on your behalf — no manual setup in the Shopify admin.
Can I run Quikly inside Shopify Checkout?
Section titled “Can I run Quikly inside Shopify Checkout?”Yes. Our checkout extension lets you surface urgency messaging and offers inside the checkout itself, which is otherwise locked down on Shopify Plus.

Can I A/B test Quikly against my current popup or promo?
Section titled “Can I A/B test Quikly against my current popup or promo?”Yes — A/B testing is built in, and reports on revenue lift rather than just click or open rates. That’s the cleanest way to prove incremental revenue versus a flat-discount baseline.

What happens when the offer cap is hit?
Section titled “What happens when the offer cap is hit?”The campaign stops awarding the headline offer in real time and can fall back to a lower tier (e.g. “next 100 get 10% off”) or close out entirely. Customers see exactly where they stand while it’s live, which is what creates the urgency.
