Hi, Shopify dev here - when we roll out APIs we usually keep them private for a period before making them public to iron out bugs as well as harden them to work fast at scale.
- martin_ 14y agoAwesome to see this post, and your response here... I'm actually the author of the article.. Can you be more specific than "period"? It seems you guys have had coupon generation ability for quite some time.
- gravitronic 14y agoI didn't have a hand in the discounts code directly but I believe the private API was added last fall so that we could offer this free app to solve most people's needs with discounts ( http://www.shopify.ca/blog/6668676-new-free-shopify-app-bulk-discounts#axzz2NSNbnxG3 http://www.shopify.ca/blog/6668676-new-free-shopify-app-bulk... ). BTW, if you're interested, http://www.shopify.com/careers http://www.shopify.com/careers - things like "I reverse engineered your private APIs and got it on front page of HN" set you apart from the herd ;)
