Coupons & Promotion Codes

Discount and Coupon codes can be created using the following rules.

Time Period

A start date and end date can be specified for each code. If no end date is specified, then the code is valid until deactivated. If no start date is specified, then the current date is assumed.

Type of discount

A discount can take two forms, a flat amount or a percentage amount.

Qualifying Conditions

In order for a code to be valid, it must meet the qualifying conditions. If no qualifying conditions are set, then the discount is applicable to the entire order, regardless of what is in the order.

Qualifying Quantity or Amount

A qualifying quantity or value may be set. If a quantity is set, then there must be at least n qualifying items in the cart, before the discount can be applied. If a value is set, then the value of all the qualifying items in the cart must be at least equal to the qualifying value.

Discounts do not repeat

A discount is only ever applied once.

A discount of 10% for an order of $50 or more is only applied once. Even if the order is for $100, a discount of 10% is applied.

A discount of $5 for an order of $50 or more means that once an order has reached $50, then $5 is taken off the total of the qualifying items. If the order is for $100, the discount is still only $5. If you want the value of the discount to increase with the value of the order, then a percentage discount needs to be used. If you want step amounts for the discounts, then the orders would need to be split and ordered separately.

Maximum Qualifying Quantity

If no maximum qualifying quantity is specified, then
