Create promo codes

Promo codes let shoppers redeem a discount on your commerce microsite. As the Author, you define the code, the discount it applies, and the rules that control when and how it can be used — then share it in an Edition or on a landing page.

Before you begin​

  • Access to the commerce or promotions area of your microsite experience (confirm the exact steps in your account).
  • The discount you want to offer (a percentage, a fixed amount, or free shipping) and the products or cart total it applies to.
  • The date range the code should be valid, and any usage limit (per shopper or total).
  • Optional: a personalization token if you plan to give each subscriber a unique code in a Broadcast.

Steps​

  1. Open the promo codes section of your commerce microsite and start a new code.
  2. Enter the code text shoppers will type at checkout (for example, SPRING20). Keep it short and easy to read.
  3. Choose the discount type and value — percentage off, fixed amount off, or free shipping.
  4. Set the conditions: which products or categories qualify, any minimum order value, and whether it can be combined with other offers.
  5. Set the validity window (start and end dates) and any redemption limits.
  6. Save and activate the code. Test it by entering it in a preview checkout to confirm the discount applies.

Result​

The code is live for the dates you set. When a shopper enters it at checkout, the qualifying discount is applied automatically, and redemptions appear in your commerce reporting.
