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

  1. From your admin, go to Discounts
  2. Click Create Coupon
  3. Enter the coupon details:
    • Code - What customers enter (e.g., "SUMMER20")
    • Discount type - Percentage, fixed amount, or free shipping
    • Value - The discount amount
  4. Click Save

Tip

Use memorable, easy-to-type codes. Avoid confusing characters like 0/O or 1/l.


Setting conditions

Control when and how coupons can be used:

Minimum requirements

  • Minimum purchase - Order must reach a certain value
  • Minimum quantity - Order must include a certain number of items

Product restrictions

  • Specific products - Only apply to selected items
  • Specific categories - Only apply to certain categories
  • Exclude sale items - Don't stack with existing discounts

Customer restrictions

  • Specific customers - Only certain accounts can use the code
  • First-time customers - Only for new buyers

Usage limits

Prevent coupon abuse with limits:

Total uses

Set how many times a coupon can be used in total:

Per-customer limit

Limit how many times each customer can use the code:
