Discounts
Discount codes are a great way to encourage purchases and reward your buyers. You can create custom discounts directly from your seller dashboard.
How to Create a Discount Code

Tap on “Discounts.”
Click "New Discount".
Select between "Amount Off Order" or "Free Shipping"
Create a unique Discount Code
If doing "Amount Off Order", choose between a fixed amount (e.g., $5 off) or a percentage (e.g., 10% off).
Set a minimum purchase requirement (optional).
Select No minimum or Minimum purchase amount and enter the dollar amount required for the discount to apply.
Choose who can use the code.
All Customers – Anyone can use the code.
Only First-Time Buyers – Limit the code to new customers of yours only.
Set any limits for the code.
Limit one per customer – Ensures each customer can only use the discount once.
Limit total number of uses – Set a maximum number of times the code can be used in total.
Add expiry date – Make the discount available for a set time only.
Save your discount.
Once saved, your buyers can enter the discount code at checkout to receive the discount.
