What types of discounts can I offer?
You can create 3 different types of discount:
Percentage off (e.g. 20% off your order)
Fixed amount off (e.g. $20 off your order)
Free shipping (e.g. Free shipping on your order)
How are discount codes redeemed?
In the cart, customers can enter the discount code and click Redeem. You'll need to ensure you've enabled discount codes first (under Commerce > Settings), otherwise the discount code box won't be shown.
How is the discount calculated against the order?
For percentage/fixed amount discount types, the discount is applied to each line item, then rounded to 2 decimal places. This matches how Xero works.
Shipping costs are always added after the discount has been applied.
For free shipping discounts, we simply discount any shipping.
When applying a discount, we ensure the tax is properly adjusted.
Can I use discount codes as gift vouchers/certificates?
No need to, use Gift vouchers
How many discount codes can I create?
You can create as many as you like!
Can I limit the number of times a code can be redeemed?
Yes, just enter a Redeem limit when creating a discount code.
Can I specify a minimum order price before the discount code can be redeemed?
Yes, just enter a Minimum order price when creating a discount code
Can I automatically expire a discount code on a certain date?
Absolutely, when creating a discount code you can choose Start / end dates. The discount code is only valid between these dates. If you leave the Start date empty the discount code will be available immediately. If you leave the End date empty, the discount code will be available indefinitely.
Can I disable a discount code, or put it on hold?
Yes, just change the status to Disabled. You can swap it back to Active later on.
