The cleanest KeepCard installation on Shopify is intentionally simple. Do not over-configure on day one. Connect the store, test verification, configure one basic rule set, and launch one entry point you can monitor closely.
Authorize Shopify first
Use the Shopify connection flow inside the KeepCard app so the platform can verify orders and generate single-use codes when needed. This is the foundation for every later decision in the return-intent flow.
Test a real order immediately
After the connection succeeds, run a verification test with a real order number and checkout email. This catches the most important issue early: whether customer sessions can be tied back to real orders before any offer or routing logic is shown.
Start with a narrow rule set
Use one simple offer strategy for preference returns first. Keep defects and policy-sensitive reasons out of offer logic while you validate the flow. Once the initial session quality looks right, you can expand the rules later.
Launch one entry point, not three
Pick either the QR insert, an email touchpoint, or a store link as the first go-live path. Launching too many entry points immediately makes it harder to interpret early results.
