How is this offer set up?
Reading one offer's configuration back, without opening the app. Useful before changing something, and the fastest way to answer "why is this bundle discounting the wrong thing".
Ask: "How is my 'Summer Starter Kit' bundle configured?"
Step 1 — Find the id
get_offer_details needs an id, and an id only comes from get_offers. Names do not work.
Search by name:
"Find my offer called Summer Starter Kit"
The assistant calls get_offers with query: "Summer Starter Kit" and gets back the id, type,
status and headline discount.
If nothing comes back, drop to a shorter word. The search matches the offer name, and a name typed
from memory rarely matches exactly. query: "summer" finds more than the full title does.
Step 2 — Read the configuration
get_offer_details with that id returns:
| Field | What it tells you |
|---|---|
type | Which of the six offer types this is |
status | active, scheduled, expired or draft |
discountType / discountValue | How much comes off, and whether it is a percentage or an amount |
startDate / endDate | The scheduled window, if there is one |
offerProducts | The products the offer applies to |
Step 3 — Read offerProducts carefully
This is where the useful answers are, and where the type matters. The same field means different things across the six types — the products a Frequently Bought Together offer suggests are not the products a Volume Discount offer applies tiers to.
Ask the assistant to state which role the products play for this offer's type rather than listing them flat. The offer-type guides say what each type does with them:
- Volume Discount
- Frequently Bought Together
- Bundle Builder
- Mix & Match Bundle
- Product Fixed Bundle
- Product Recommendation
offerProducts is what was saved when the offer was configured, not a live Shopify lookup. A
product renamed, unpublished or deleted since can still appear here under its old name. If an offer
reads correctly and behaves wrongly, an out-of-date product reference is a good first suspect —
check it in Shopify rather than trusting the name here.
Step 4 — Compare two offers
The genuinely fast use of this tool: two ids, one question.
"Compare how my two volume discount offers are configured and tell me what's different"
The assistant calls get_offers with type: "volume-discount", then get_offer_details on each,
and reports the differences. Doing that by eye across two browser tabs is where configuration
mistakes survive.
What you finish holding
One offer's type, status, schedule, discount and target products — or a diff between two. Enough to decide what to change before you open the app to change it.
