2. The Discount Codes screen will display. Click the Add Discount Code button to begin setting up your code.

3. Add the basics of your Discount Code, including a name, and select the Percentage as the Discount Type.

4. After entering your discount percentage, the next field allows yout to set the Maximum Discount Amount.

2. The Discount Codes screen will display. Click the Add Discount Code button to begin setting up your code.

Click the X icon next to any product/category you have added to remove it from the discount.

5. Click Done when you are finished.

This code will now be active and can be used at the checkout as long as the basket contains the approved products.

How To Apply A Minimum/Maximum Spending Amount To Your Discount Code

There might be instances where you would like to offer a discount to customers spending a certain amount in your shop. For this, you can utilise the Minimum/Maximum Order Amount settings. For example, 20% off Orders over £100.

1. Whilst setting up any discount code, the settings for Minimum and Maximum order amount are visible

2. If you enter a value into either of these fields, it will set the minimum or maximum order value eligible for the discount. If you leave these fields blank, there will be no spending limit in place.

How To Limit The Number of Times A Discount Can Be Used

If you are running a special promotion or are offering your discount code as a prize you may want to limit the number of times this code can be used. 

1. Whilst setting up a discount code, look for the Limit Usage toggle.

2. Turn the toggle to Yes and an additional Limit field will display. Enter the number of orders you would like the code to be valid for. Please note that this limit is for the total number of uses of the code, not per customer.
