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).

How can I apply a coupon to a group of products?

Can this coupon apply to product subscriptions?

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.

Learn how to unhide the "Promo Code" link and select a font color.

Are coupon codes case sensitive?

No, coupon codes are not case sensitive. Customers can enter your codes without using the same case.

For purchases with the manual payment method, when does the number of available coupons update?
