Introduction

This document provides a detailed guide on creating a discount code in the Store Manager, focusing on the 'Format & General Limits' section of the creation form.

Creating a New Discount Code

  • Access: From the Discount Codes menu, select the ‘Create New Discount Code’ button to access the creation form.

  • Form Overview: The form has multiple sections, with 'Format & General Limits' expanded by default and other sections collapsed. Save the form after updating each section.

Configuring Format & General Limits

1. Discount Type

  • Choose between a price or percentage-based discount.

  • Click the appropriate button; your selection will be highlighted in blue.

2. Discount Value

  • For percentage-based discounts, enter the percentage (e.g., 10 for 10% off).

  • For price discounts, enter the monetary amount (e.g., $10 off).

3. Discount Code Name

  • Set a name for your discount code, limited to a maximum of 30 characters.

  • Option to auto-generate a 6-character code using the provided icon.

4. Internal Notes

  • Add any internal notes related to the discount code.

  • These notes are visible only in the Store Manager and not to end users.

5. Terms & Conditions

  • Add terms and conditions for the discount code.

  • These will be shown to the user if you promote the discount.

6. Total Redemption Limit

  • Set how many times the discount code can be used in total.

7. Total Redemption Limit Per User

  • Define how many times a user can use the discount code.

8. Total Spend Limit

  • Cap the discount code to a specific value (e.g., $100).

  • The code becomes unusable after reaching this limit.

9. Product Quantity Limit Per User

  • Set a quantity limit for the discount (e.g., 100% off on 1 item only).

  • This limit restricts the user from using the discount code for quantities larger than the set limit.

  • Counts towards the Total Redemption Limit Per User, if set.

Navigating the Form

  • Clicking 'Next' automatically collapses the current section and takes you to the next.

  • Remember to save your progress if you don’t want to complete other sections yet.
