Create discount codes and automatic discounts

Add a discount code

1. Open Promotions and stay on Codes & offers.
2. Go to Add a code and enter the code, such as WELCOME10.
3. Choose Percent off, Fixed amount off or Free shipping.
4. Enter the value, unless you chose Free shipping.
5. Add any limits you want.
6. Press Add code.

Limits you can set

• Expires sets the last date of the code.
• Max uses sets the total number of redemptions. Blank means unlimited.
• Min. order applies the code only at or above this cart subtotal. Blank means no minimum.
• Starts on makes the code unusable before that day.

Conditions

Open Conditions for more rules.

• Combine with your store's Shopify automatic discounts. Unticked, the code is refused while one applies.
• Combine with volume tiers and bundle prices. Unticked, the code is refused on a cart that already carries one.
• One-time purchases only, or one-time and subscriptions.
• Min. quantity counts the total items in the cart.
• Max. discount caps what a percent code can take off.
• Specific products. A percent takes its cut of those lines only, a fixed amount is capped at their subtotal, and the code is refused on a cart with none of them.
• Once per customer is checked by email against paid orders.
• New customers only refuses an email that has already paid an order at your store.

Automatic discounts

Tick Apply automatically and the discount applies at checkout without a code. One automatic discount can be active at a time. On a subscription it never lowers the subscription price. It only comes off one-time items, shipping and tax in the same cart. The recurring amount stays full.

An automatic 100% discount is not allowed when you save it. It would make every cart total zero, and a zero-total checkout cannot take an order. If one is active, Promotions shows a warning with a button to turn it off, because shoppers are sent to your Shopify checkout until you do.

Manage your codes

Every code in the list has Edit, Turn off or Turn on, and a delete button. The list shows the type, the minimum, the expiry, and how many uses are gone.
