Use Abra's Private visibility setting to run exclusive promotions only accessible via a private link. Perfect for targeted email campaigns, SMS blasts, or paid ads, private promotions let you control who can access your offers without needing customer tags or logins.
What Are Private Promotions?
Private promotions in Abra are hidden from the public and can only be accessed through a private Abra-generated link. You can configure these links to direct customers to a specific destination of your choice, whether that's a particular collection, product, or landing page. Once customers click through the private link, the promotion becomes active throughout their entire session across your store.
