Creating a promo code
Step-by-step guide to creating promotional discount codes
Creating Promo Codes
Follow these steps to create a new promotional code for your business.
Step 1: Open the Create Modal
- Navigate to Catalog > Promo Codes
- Click the Create Promo Code button
- The promo code creation modal will open
Step 2: Basic Information
Code
Enter the promo code that customers will use. Tips:
- Use uppercase letters for readability
- Keep it memorable (e.g., WELCOME20, SUMMER25)
- Click Generate for an auto-generated code
Internal Name (Optional)
Add a descriptive name for internal reference. Customers won't see this.
Description (Optional)
Add notes about the promotion's purpose.
Step 3: Discount Settings
Discount Type
Choose between:
- Percentage - Percentage off the total
- Fixed Amount - Set amount off
Discount Value
Enter the discount value (e.g., 20 for 20% or 10 for $10 off).
Maximum Discount (Percentage only)
For percentage discounts, optionally cap the maximum discount amount to prevent large discounts on expensive services.
Step 4: Usage Limits
Total Usage Limit
Set how many times this code can be used in total. Leave empty for unlimited use.
Per-Customer Limit
Set how many times each customer can use this code.
Minimum Purchase Amount
Require a minimum cart value before the code can be applied.
Step 5: Save the Code
Click Save to create the promo code. It will be active immediately unless you've set a future start date.
Example: Welcome Discount
Create a welcome offer for new customers:
- Code: WELCOME20
- Discount Type: Percentage
- Value: 20%
- Max Discount: $50
- Customer Scope: New Customers Only
- Per-Customer Limit: 1
Use case scenarios
Scenario 1: Quick percentage code
"SUMMER25" 25% off all services, valid Jul 1-31, max 1 use per customer. Created in 2 minutes, posted on Instagram, generates 100+ redemptions.
Scenario 2: Fixed-amount thank-you
"VIPGIFT" 5,000 Ft off, VIP scope only, sent personally. Each redemption is a goodwill moment.
Scenario 3: Test before launch
Create the code with a 5-redemption limit. Try redemption yourself to verify it works as designed. Then bump the limit and launch publicly.
Scenario 4: Single-use, single-customer
"ANNA10" 10% off, customer scope: Anna specifically. One-off goodwill code.
Tips
- Memorable codes: SUMMER25 beats X7K9P.
- Set a max discount cap: 25% on a 50,000 Ft service is 12,500 Ft. Cap protects margin.
- Test redemption before going public: try it yourself.
- Per-customer limit: 1 prevents abuse.
