Creating a new discount code.

After selecting the New button a popup window will launch where you will complete the prompts and save. 

​

• Discount Name: An internal name which allows for tracking.
• Discount Code: The code your customer will need to know/enter.
• Start Date: The date you want the promotion to become available.
• End Date: The date you want the promotion to end. You may leave this field blank if you do not want an end date, or you are unsure what the end date will be. If you enter a date in this field, the discount code entered in the storefront will not be accepted. 
• Type:
  • Fixed - Use when you want a fixed dollar amount to be taken when the customer enters the discount code.
    • Amount - Enter the Amount to deduct from their Total.
  • Percentage - Use when you want a percentage of the Order total to be taken when the customer enters the discount code. 
    • Percent - Enter the percentage that you want to deduct from the Total for the discount. 
    • Up To - If you would like to cap the amount given for the discount when using the percentage option, enter the dollar amount here.
• Discount Order Minimum: The cart needs to be above this amount to use this code.
• Auto-Lock Job: This is useful for preventing the end user/customer from making any changes to their order after it is placed. 
• Make this discount available at checkout: This will enable the use of the discount code site-wide.
• Apply Tax to the Total before Discount - If you would like the Tax to be calculated on the Total before the discount is taken, select this option. In most cases you will want Tax to be applied to the Total after the discounted amount. We suggest you refer to your State Laws on how Sales Tax applies to discounts before selecting this option.
• Allow customer to use only once (Single Use) - Limits the discount code to be used only once per customer/account.
