Discounts
Creating coupons
Coupons give customers a discount when they enter a code at checkout. You can create codes for specific products, minimum order amounts, or store-wide sales.
Creating a coupon
- From your admin, go to Discounts
- Click Create Coupon
- Enter the coupon details:
- Code - What customers enter (e.g., "SUMMER20")
- Discount type - Percentage, fixed amount, or free shipping
- Value - The discount amount
- Click Save
Tip
Use memorable, easy-to-type codes. Avoid confusing characters like 0/O or 1/l.
