Wix Stores: Limiting Coupon Usage
Coupons are a great way to attract visitors to your store and encourage them to make a purchase.
You can control when your coupon can be used, what it can be applied to, and how many times it can be applied.
To limit coupon usage:
Go to Coupons in your site's dashboard.
Click +New Coupon.
Select a coupon type.
Enter the coupon code in the Coupon Code field.
Note: This is the code customers enter to get the discount.Enter the name of the coupon in the Coupon Name field.
Note: This name appears in your dashboard and on the Cart page.Enter the required details in the Discount / Now only / Offer field.
Tip: This step varies according to the coupon type you selected.Choose what you want to do next:
Limit which products the discount applies to
The Apply to drop-down is where you select the products a coupon applies. The options vary by coupon type.
"Apply to" options:
All products: This coupon can apply to multiple products in a customer's cart.
Specific product: You select a specific product.
Specific category: You select the category the coupon applies to. Note that this coupon can apply to multiple products in a customer's cart.
Minimum order subtotal Enter the minimum about above which the coupon applies (e.g. Coupon good on purchases above $50).
All orders: Available for the Free Shipping coupon.
Tip: If you want to apply a coupon to a group of products, you can create a hidden category that contains all those products. Then, you can apply the coupon to that category.
Limit the dates your coupon is valid
You can create a coupon with a time limit (e.g. Offer good in July only) or create one that can be used at any time.
To allow the coupon to be used at any time, enter a start date and select the Don't set an end date checkbox. To limit use, enter a start date and an end date.
Note: The time of day a coupon expires depends on the time of day it was created. For example, if you created the coupon at 7:40 PM, and it is set to expire July 31, it will expire on July 31 at 7:40 PM (your time zone).
Limit how many times the coupon can be used
You can limit the number of times a coupon can be used (e.g. offer available for the first 50 customers) and prevent customers from using a coupon more than once.
To limit the number of times a coupon can be used, select the Limit the total number of uses for this coupon checkbox and enter the number of times.
Note: Multiple purchase by the same customer or purchases by different customers are both counted.
To let customers use a coupon only once, select the Limit to one use per customer checkbox.
Limit a $ or % discount to 1 item per order
You can select Apply once per order to limit the use of $ Discount or % Discount coupons to one item in a particular order.
This means that if you have a $20 off hats coupon, and a customer buys two hats, the discount only applies to one of them (the hat with the lowest price).
Tips:
Coupon codes are not case sensitive.
You can use the free Bulk Coupon Creator app to generate bulk codes.
