Discount codes
Make codes such as WELCOME10 for a percentage off, an amount off or free delivery, with dates, a smallest order and a use limit. Buyers type the code in the cart or at checkout, and SmartMy checks it again before the order is made.
PLANSFrom Growth
The problem it solves
- A festival offer is announced on Instagram, but the website has no way to give it.
- Discounts are given by editing the invoice after the order, and nobody can say how many were used.
- An old code keeps working months after the offer ended.
- One buyer uses the first-order code again and again.
How it works
- A Website Manager opens the editor, Shop tab, Discount codes, and presses + Add a code.
- They type the code (kept in capitals) and choose what it gives. Limits are optional: smallest order, dates, uses, once per customer.
- They can tick Show on product pages, so the code appears in the Offers box with an offer line.
- A buyer types the code in the cart or at checkout and sees at once whether it applies, or why not.
- At checkout SmartMy checks the code again. A percentage goes on each product line; an amount off becomes a Discount code line.

Questions
Does a code add up with bulk prices and deals?
Yes. A percentage code comes off the price after the bulk price or deal. For example, 10 % on top of a 5 % bulk price gives 14.5 % off that line.Can a code work only on one category?
Not yet. A code applies to the whole order. Use a deal on the products if only some should be cheaper.Can buyers see our codes without being told?
Only the codes you mark Show on product pages. They appear in the Offers box with your offer line and a button to copy the code.How do I stop a code early?
Switch it off, or set Until to today. Buyers then get "This code is not valid" or "not valid today".Related features
