Offering promotions can greatly increase sales by attracting new customers and encouraging them to come back for more. PLUS, if you're a Pro subscriber, you can use the Email Marketing feature to send your coupon codes to your customers! 🀩

How to Create Coupon Codes

  1. Head to the Marketing page and click on the Discount tab.
    ​

  2. Click on "Add Discount" to add your new coupon code.
    ​

  3. Fill in the requested details for your coupon code, its application, and how much it takes off the original price.
    ​
    ​


Coupon Code Settings

  • Choosing which products the discount applies to

    You can choose to apply it to all your products, only to specific products, or to your fulfillment fees:
    ​


    ​

    ❗️NOTE: Applying the discount to Fulfillment methods reduces fulfillment fees, and not the customer's order total.
    ​
    ​

  • Setting the discount

    • Percentage Off - reduces the price by the percentage you set

    • Off Total - reduces the price by the amount you set
      ​
      ​


      ​

  • Setting a maximum discount
    This is putting a limit on how much can be deducted from the order amount. For example, your coupon is 10% off the total. Your customer's order total is Php 2,000. Instead of having Php 200 off, their maximum discount will only be Php 100.
    ​
    ​


Coupon Code Requirements and Limits

  • Minimum Purchase
    You can set a required purchase for the coupon code to be applied.
    ​
    ​

  • Active dates
    This is when your customers can use the coupon code for ordering. You can set a start and end date.
    ​
    ​


    ​

  • Fulfillment dates
    You can also set the fulfillment dates the coupon code will be applicable to.
    A start and end date can also be set.
    ​
    ​


    ​

  • Fulfillment methods
    If the discount is for a Fulfillment method, you can choose which of your existing methods it will be applied to.
    ​
    ​


    ​

  • Maximum redemptions
    Limit how many customers can redeem the code! Once the maximum redemption is reached, your coupon code can no longer be used.
    ​
    On the other hand, leaving it toggled off would mean there's an unlimited number of redemptions.
    ​
    ​

  • One use per customer only
    Toggling this on will make sure the coupon code can only be redeemed once per email address.
    ​
    ​

Lastly, once you've configured your coupon code's settings and limitations, don't forget to hit Save!

πŸ’‘ Pro Tips:

  • Can’t decide between coupon codes and bulk discounts? Use coupon codes to discount the entire order, while bulk discounts apply to specific products.
    ​

  • If you're combining both, the coupon applies to the product's original priceβ€”not the discounted bundle price.
    ​

  • Want all discounts to show on POS? Turn off the β€œOne use per customer only” toggle to make sure everything appears as expected.
