Discount codes

How to create percentage or fixed-amount coupons with a minimum purchase, an expiry date and usage limits, and how customers apply them in the cart.

Quick answer

In Sales tools → Discount codes click New coupon, type the code (for example FRIDAY10), choose percentage or fixed amount and save. Your customer types it in the cart and sees how much they save before ordering.

A discount code encourages people to buy today. You decide how much you discount and for whom.

Create a coupon#

  1. Open Sales tools → Discount codes and click New coupon.
  2. Type the Code: letters, numbers, dashes and underscores only.
  3. Choose the Type: Percentage or Fixed amount, and type the Value.
  4. Set any conditions you need (below) and save.

What your customer sees#

  1. In the cart they tap Have a coupon? and type the code.
  2. They click Apply. They see CODE applied — you save $X and the breakdown with subtotal, discount and total.
  3. They can Remove coupon at any time.

If the code does not work, the message says why: it expired, it ran out, it does not apply to the order, or they need to reach the minimum amount.

After the order#

The discount is saved on the order and shown in the WhatsApp message. In the list you can see how many times each coupon was used, under Uses. A coupon that has been used cannot be deleted, but you can deactivate it.

Note

Coupons cannot be combined: each order uses one. They also do not apply to drafts you create over WhatsApp.
