Overview

This page creates a promo code or changes an existing one. New code opens an empty form. The Edit (pencil) icon on a code's row opens the same form filled in with that code. The one difference is the code box: once a code is created, its text cannot be changed.

Only Owners and Managers can open this page. Staff who arrive here are sent back to the promo codes list.

  1. Code box. What the buyer types at checkout. It becomes capitals when saved. On an existing code the box is locked.
  2. Discount type. Percentage off or Fixed amount off. Choosing one shows only that type's amount box.
  3. Discount (%) or Discount amount (৳). For a percentage, enter 1 to 100.
  4. The example box, which begins "On an order of…". It shows how much the buyer saves and what they pay. If you set a minimum order, the example uses it.
  5. Who can see it. Four options. A buyer can always type the code at checkout; this choice decides only who sees it in a voucher strip on your storefront.
  6. The right-hand column: Total uses (optional), Uses per customer (optional), Start date (optional), End date (optional) and Can be combined with other discounts. Save is also at the top of the form.

Tips and common mistakes

  • Whether a code is already taken is known only when you save. There is no check before that.
  • For a buyer who is already chosen, edit shows only the buyer's ID. Press Change and search again to see the name.
  • A code that has expired can be given a new end date by editing it.
