Tip:

You can also use automatic discounts to create additional types of buy X, get Y discounts. Using this option, customers won't need to enter a coupon code. Additionally, the "Y" can be a reduced price, not only a free item (buy 2 hats, get 1 at 50% off).

No, Buy X, get Y free coupons cannot be applied to product subscriptions.

Why isn't the promo code visible on the cart page?

The promo code may not be visible because you hid it or because the text color blends in with the background color.

Are coupon codes case sensitive?
