Discount Code Management
Within the Orders & Payment function, you have the ability to use the Manage Discount Codes function to manage discounts on a global order level. Remember that each category can have it's own discounts and each product can run sale prices. In addition, custom sale logic is available to run custom sales for orders.

The Manage Discount Codes function allows you to issue discount codes to users to receive discounts on their entire order, in addition to any discounts for products and categories as well as custom sales.

Each discount code has several attributes:

Discount Code

The discount code needs to be unique and the best examples contain both alpha and numeric characters.

Code Type

The discount code type can be set to a coupon, gift certificate, store credit, discount or non-expiring discount. Select the appropriate type for the discount you are adding. Non-expiring discounts can be used again and again by customers.

Currency/Percent Type

The currency/percent type can be set to a currency or a percentage calculation. Select the appropriate calculation.

Currency/Percent Value

A currency amount should be entered if the discount currency/percent type is currency. A percentage should be entered if the currency/percent type is percentage.

Product Limitation Type

You have the ability to apply the discount code to all products ordered, only to products related to the code, or only to products not related to the code. Adjust how the discount code is applied by updating the limitiation type.

Related Products

Based on the limitation type setting above, you may need to relate products to the discount code. This field is to be completed with a comma delimited list of product reference strings. Click the link presented for a listing of valid reference strings.

Active Status

The active status can be set to active or inactive. This setting aids in expiring discounts you no longer wish to remain valid or renewing discounts that have expired. A discount will only expire when it is used or when this setting is inactive.

If the currency/percent type is currency, do not worry about orders exceeding the discount amount. The software package is designed to zero out the order instead of using a negative order total. Also, for currency type discounts, if the code is not a non-expiring code, the balance is declined to ensure the full discount can be used at some point.
