FAQs
Click a question below to learn more about coupons.
What happens if the discount is more than the product price?
Make sure you aren't giving away products for free. Apply the price discount coupon only to products that cost more than the value of the discount.
For example, if you create a $10 price discount coupon and a customer applies it to an $8 product, that item will be free. Shipping charges, however, do still apply.
How can I apply a coupon to a group of products?
To apply a coupon to a group of products, create a new category and add all the relevant products. No need to display this category on your site - it can be used only for the sale.
How are coupons applied to product subscriptions?
When you select the Include subscriptions checkbox, and a customer uses a coupon to purchase a subscription, the discount applies each cycle.
This means that if a customer buys a monthly subscription that lasts 12 months, the customer gets a discount for each of the 12 purchases.
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?
If you limited your coupon use to a set number (e.g. available for the first 100 shoppers), every time a coupon is used, it's counted.
When a customer pays you offline, the coupon count is updated once you mark the order as paid.
