To help you have a great BFCM, we’re making sure that you can manage your business anytime, anywhere—even if you’re away from your desk.

One thing we know is a must-have: discounts on mobile. You can now create, modify, and manage discounts from your phone and tablet. It just wouldn’t be BFCM without discounts, after all, and now you’ve got full control even while you’re on the go.

In case you missed it, we’ve also got a whole slate of new mobile features available to help you run your store onanydevice this season, including:

  • Product collections management
  • Live View analytics on mobile
  • Apps on mobile (Oberlo, Kit, and more)

Discounts on Mobile

Customers will be on the hunt for discounts this BFCM, which is why they’re a vital part of making the most of the season.

Last year, over 50% of Shopify merchants had a discount live during BFCM. This year, you can create, modify, and manage discounts directly from Shopify’s app, no matter where you are.

If you’re out running errands, you can monitor how many people are using each discount you’ve got available. If you see that one particular sale is going well, you can extend it from the palm of your hand.

Or if you have a great idea for a social media promotion, you can set up a discount code and share it to your social media platforms directly from your phone. No need to go back to your desk.

Product collections on mobile

Product collections are one of the best ways to help your customers find what they’re looking for quickly. Now, you can create new collections and update existing ones right from your phone. You'll find your collections in the "Product" tab of your Shopify app.

Let’s say some of your items are out of stock, thanks to a successful BFCM promotion (yay!). As soon as you notice, you can switch them out of your Home Page collection and replace them with items that you’ve still got on hand.

When you get a new order of stock, you can snap product shots on your phone, create a new product using those images, and add it to a collection without ever going back to your desk (or transferring the photos to your computer).

And if you’re out and about and you have a great idea for a new sale collection in between meetings, you can set it up directly from your phone.
