Summary
Merchant Hongjian Jin wanted a discount to upgrade their Discounty plan, noting that their other store was on a legacy Essential plan at $199/year. After the AI bot was unable to provide a discount code, a human agent (Rick) escalated internally and secured the legacy pricing for the merchant's second store via a custom discount code. The issue was fully resolved and the merchant left a positive review.
"To be honest, we were pretty close to uninstalling because the new pricing changed the economics for us quite a bit."

> Any discount?
**[2026-05-07 07:21:55] bot/Luna**
> Hi Hongjian - I’m Luna, an AI assistant. Yes, we do occasionally offer special promo discounts on subscription plans, but they’re not always active and can depend on current promos and eligibility.
> To check if you qualify:
> - Open your Discounty account dashboard and look for any promo that appears there.
> - If you already have a discount code, you can apply it in the app: Plans → Pay Monthly → enter code in “Discount code” (Pay Yearly doesn’t have a code field).
> If you tell me whether you’re on Pay Monthly or Pay Yearly, I can point you to the right place to apply it.
**[2026-05-07 07:21:55] bot/Luna**
> Is that what you were looking for?
**[2026-05-07 07:22:28] user/Hongjian Jin**
> Pay Monthly discount code
**[2026-05-07 07:22:34] bot/Luna**
> To use a Pay Monthly discount code, Hongjian, enter it in the app during checkout.
> Steps:
> 1. Open Discounty
> 2. Go to Plans
> 3. Choose Pay Monthly
> 4. Type your code into the Discount code field (right side)
> 5. Confirm your subscription
> Extra: Pay Yearly doesn’t have a discount code field.
**[2026-05-07 07:22:35] bot/Luna**
> Did that answer your question?
**[2026-05-07 07:22:50] user/Hongjian Jin**
> i want you give me a discount code
**[2026-05-07 07:23:01] bot/Luna**
> I can’t generate or provide a discount code for you, Hongjian, because discounts are only available when there’s an active promo and you’re eligible for it.
> What you can do:
> 1. Open Discounty and go to your account dashboard to see if any promo appears there.
> 2. If you already have a code, apply it in the app: Plans → Pay Monthly → enter it in “Discount code” → confirm.
> Extra: Pay Yearly doesn’t have a discount code field.

**[2026-05-07 07:26:06] user/Hongjian Jin**
> I want discount to upgrade my plan
**[2026-05-07 07:29:08] admin/Rick**
> I'm afraid the only discount we're offering right now is the one that you can already see is applied to prices, and we don't offer any other type of discount on our plans at the moment 🙏🏻

**[2026-05-07 07:30:10] user/Hongjian Jin**
> [Image] the price applied to my other acct for essential plan is 199/year
**[2026-05-07 07:30:28] user/Hongjian Jin**
> why it differs on this acct
**[2026-05-07 07:32:47] admin/Rick**
> We had a change in our prices a few days ago, that's why you're seeing different prices.
> You can see it says Legacy right next to the plan name:
> [Image]
> You can use the plan with the old price in the other store, but if you want to upgrade this store now, you need to choose from the new plans.
**[2026-05-07 07:34:22] user/Hongjian Jin**
> I understand there was a recent pricing update, but since I was already actively considering upgrading before the price change, I was hoping you could help honor the previous pricing for this store as well.
**[2026-05-07 07:34:30] user/Hongjian Jin**
> We’re planning to continue growing with your platform long-term, so maintaining the original pricing would really help us move forward more comfortably.
**[2026-05-07 07:37:18] admin/Rick**
> What can I say, I don't want to be the one to say no,
> Let me see what I can do and get back to you 😉
**[2026-05-07 07:43:49] user/Hongjian Jin**
> I really appreciate that, Rick — thank you.
**[2026-05-07 07:44:05] user/Hongjian Jin**
> To be honest, we were pretty close to uninstalling because the new pricing changed the economics for us quite a bit.
**[2026-05-07 07:44:20] user/Hongjian Jin**
> We genuinely like the platform and would prefer to continue growing with it long-term, so if there’s any way you can help us stay closer to the previous pricing, it would make a big difference for us.
**[2026-05-07 07:52:36] admin/Rick**
> I got you, my friend!!
> I talked to the team, and managed to get you the annual Essential plan for the same price as your other store ($199/year) 😍
**[2026-05-07 07:54:41] admin/Rick**
> To get this done, please:
> 1. Head over to the Plans tab.
> 2. Downgrade back to the Starter plan (our free plan) for a second
> 3. Apply this discount code on the top-right box: funchemess
> 4. After applying, you'll see the price change. Now upgrade to the Essential plan again

> I already activated the 7-day free trial on the Essential plan.
**[2026-05-07 08:04:01] user/Hongjian Jin**
> In this case, how should I apply the discount code?
**[2026-05-07 08:04:21] admin/Rick**
> Just do what I described step-by-step.
**[2026-05-07 08:04:53] user/Hongjian Jin**
