## Creating a Discount

1. Navigate to **Store > Discounts**
2. Click **Create Discount**

8. Save

Discount codes are stored in uppercase and must be unique within your store.

## Discount Settings

### Basic Settings

| Setting | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **Title** | Internal name for the discount (required) |
| **Code** | The code customers enter at checkout |
| **Discount Type** | Percentage or Fixed Amount |
| **Value** | Discount amount or percentage |

### Applies To

Choose what the discount applies to:

| Option | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| **Store Wide** | The entire order |
| **Product** | One or more specific products |
| **Collection** | One or more specific collections |
| **Customer** | A specific customer |

For Product, Collection, and Customer you search for and select the items the discount is limited to.

### Free Shipping

Toggle **Free Shipping** to add a free shipping option to the order when the code is applied. At checkout it appears as a shipping option labelled "Courtesy of discount code: *YOURCODE*".

---

## Usage Limits

### Usage Limit

Set a maximum number of uses across all customers. Once the code has been used that many times, it stops working.

### Active Dates

Set when the discount is valid:

- **Start Date** - When the discount becomes active
- **End Date** - When the discount expires

Both are optional. Leave them blank for a code with no scheduled start or end.

---

## Minimum Requirements

Optionally set a **Minimum Purchase Amount** (e.g., $100) that the order must reach for the code to be valid.

---

## Managing Discounts

### Viewing Discounts

Navigate to **Store > Discounts** to see all discount codes with:

- ID
- Title
- Code
- Type
- Status
- Times used

You can search the list to find a specific discount.

### Discount Status

| Status | Meaning |
|--------|---------|
| **Active** | Enabled and currently valid |
| **Scheduled** | Enabled, but the start date is in the future |
| **Expired** | Enabled, but the end date has passed |
| **Inactive** | Disabled |

### Editing Discounts

1. Open the actions menu (three dots) on the discount row
2. Select **Edit**
3. Make changes
4. Save

### Enabling/Disabling

From the actions menu, choose **Disable** or **Activate** to turn the discount off or on without deleting it.

### Deleting Discounts

1. Open the actions menu on the discount row
2. Select **Delete**
3. Confirm

---

## Customer Experience

At checkout:

1. Customer enters the code in the **Discount code** field
2. Clicks **Apply**
3. Discount is applied to the order and the savings are shown

Only one discount code can be applied to an order at a time — applying a second code replaces the first. If the code is invalid, expired, not yet active, or has hit its usage limit, the customer sees a message explaining why.
