# Shopify Discount Creator MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Shopify Discount Creator MCP lets your AI agent generate unique percentage-based discount codes in your store instantly. It's built for real-time sales conversations, allowing your agent to drop a custom code (like 'SAVE15') into a chat the moment a customer shows hesitation about a price. It works with your Shopify Admin REST API using a simple write-only permission. ## Overview - **Category:** industry-titans - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_r8wD6H2DXraQGARV565SSRsZmJ6riUygl0uuIw28/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** discount-codes, cart-abandonment, sales-conversion, promotions, retail ## Description The Shopify Discount Creator MCP provides a surgical way to turn hesitant browsers into paying customers. Instead of a massive integration that syncs your entire catalog or reads private customer data, this tool does one specific thing: it creates unique percentage-based discount codes on the fly. When your AI agent detects a customer hesitating over a price in a chat, it can instantly generate a code like 'SAVE15' and drop it into the conversation. It acts as a real-time sales closer, removing the friction of manual coupon management. By connecting this through the Vinkius catalog, you give your agent a direct line to your Shopify store's discount engine without opening up your backend to unnecessary risks. It uses a direct path to the Shopify Admin REST API, requiring only a basic token with permission to write discounts. This means your agent can't see your orders, delete your products, or peek at your customer list. It's a one-way funnel designed for high-conversion retail. ## Tools ### create_shopify_discount Creates a new percentage-based discount code in your Shopify store.

When a customer hesitates, your agent can drop a unique code instantly to keep them moving toward the checkout. **Does this Connector give the AI access to my customer list?** No, it's a write-only tool. It is specifically scoped to create discount codes, meaning your private customer data remains completely inaccessible to the agent. **How do I use the Shopify Discount Creator MCP for my store?** You just need to connect your Shopify Custom App token with write_discounts permissions. Once connected, your agent can start generating codes as part of your chat flow. **Can my agent create different codes for different people?** Yes, every time the agent uses the tool, it can generate a unique code name and percentage. This helps prevent coupon abuse and makes every offer feel personal. **Is the Shopify Discount Creator MCP safe for my store data?** It's designed with a zero-trust approach. Because it only has permission to create discounts and cannot read your orders or products, it's one of the safest ways to connect your store to an AI. **What happens when the AI creates a code?** The code is instantly live in your Shopify store. Your agent can then copy that code into the chat for your customer to use immediately at checkout. **Can the agent change the price of products with this?** No. This Connector only accesses the endpoint to create Discount Codes. It does not have the `write_products` permission, meaning it is physically impossible for the AI to alter your catalog prices or delete products. **Does it support fixed amount discounts (e.g. $10 off)?** To maintain maximum simplicity and safety for the AI, this specific tool is hardcoded to generate 'percentage-based' discounts applied to the entire cart. This prevents currency confusion issues.
