Create a discount code or sale

Discount types

Percent off takes a percentage off, for example 20%. Amount off takes a fixed amount off in your store currency. Buy X get Y gives a free or cheaper item when a customer buys certain products. Free shipping waives the delivery fee at checkout.

Each discount works either as a Discount code, which customers type at checkout, or as an Automatic discount, which applies with no code.

How to create a discount code

1. In your dashboard, go to Products, then Discounts.
2. Click Add discount.
3. Choose the Discount type.
4. Enter a Name. Customers see it at checkout, so keep it friendly, like Eid Sale.
5. Under Trigger, keep Discount code and type a code such as EID20, or click Generate code.
6. Choose Automatic discount instead if you don't want customers to type a code.
7. Enter the Discount value, for example 20 for 20% off.
8. In Applies to, keep All products or pick one category.
9. Add a Usage limit to cap how many times it's used, or leave it empty for unlimited.
10. Click Create discount.

Set up buy X get Y

1. Choose Buy X get Y as the discount type.
2. Under Customer buys, tick the qualifying products and set the Quantity.
3. Under Customer gets, tick the reward products, or leave it empty to reward the same products.
4. Set the reward Quantity and Discount. 100% makes it free.
5. Click Create discount.

Things to know

Discounts don't have start or end dates. To end a sale, delete the discount from the list.

You can't edit a discount after you create it. To change one, delete it and create a new one.

A code limited to one category only works when the cart has an item from that category.

If an order is cancelled, its use of the code is given back, so it doesn't count against your usage limit.

Amount off is set in your store currency. If you sell in other currencies through Markets, Mawg3 converts it with your exchange rate.

Gift cards

The same page lists your gift cards. Codes are created automatically when someone buys a gift card product. To issue one by hand, click Add gift card, enter the Amount and an optional Code prefix, then click Issue gift card.

Customers type a gift card code in the same box as discount codes at checkout. To stop a card from being used, click Disable on its row.

Ideas for your next sale

Run a free shipping code during a holiday week. Send a one-time code to customers who haven't ordered in a while. Add Sale as Badge text on the products in your sale so shoppers spot them.

You can also ask Barq AI, the assistant in your dashboard, to set up a discount for you.
