Coupons and discount codes
Create discount codes — percentage or amount off, minimum order, maximum discount, dates, uses per customer, new-customer offers — and show them at checkout.
A coupon gives customers a discount when they type its code at checkout. You decide how much, on which orders, when, and how often.

- Go to Configuration → Coupons and select Add New.
- Fill in the form (below) and select Submit.

How customers use coupons#
At checkout, customers type the code in Enter Coupon Code and apply it. The discount appears in the order summary.
Show coupons at checkout#
In Settings → Storefront → Coupons:
- Show coupons at checkout — lists your active coupons under Available Coupons, so customers can apply one directly instead of hunting for a code.
- Allow several coupons in one order — off means one coupon per order: Only one coupon can be applied. Remove the applied coupon first.
