Discount Codes

Provide specific Cart Discounts to eligible customers with Discount Codes.

Discount Codes, also known as promo codes or coupon codes, are alphanumeric sequences of characters offered to specific Customers to receive a Cart Discount. The related discount is applied as soon as the Discount Code is added to a Customer's Cart.

Up to 10 Discount Codes can be applied to a Cart.

If the default fields available for configuring Discount Codes do not fit your business needs, Composable Commerce lets you extend the DiscountCode model using the Custom Fields API. The Merchant Center supports editing the values of Custom Fields configured for Discount Code.

To generate and import Discount Codes in bulk into Composable Commerce, you can use the Discount Code Generator and Discount Code Importer.

Create a Discount Code

Go to Discounts > Add discount and click Add discount code.
On the Add a discount code page, do the following:
- In the General Info section, follow these steps:
  - Optional: For Name, enter the localized names for the Discount Code.
  - Optional: For Description, enter the localized descriptions for the Discount Code.
  - Optional: For Valid from, enter the date and time from when the Discount Code is valid.
  - Optional: For Valid until, enter the date and time until when the Discount Code is valid.
  - Optional: For Max applications, enter the total number of times the Discount Code can apply, inclusive of all Carts.
  - Optional: For Max applications per customer, enter the total number of times the Discount can apply for a Customer, inclusive of all Carts.
    A Discount Code can apply only once on the same Cart. A Discount Code application is counted every time an Order is created, and is not restored if the Order is canceled.
  - For Code, enter a unique value for the Discount Code.
    The entered value cannot be updated after saving the Discount Code.
  - Optional: For Groups, enter one or more values for the Discount Code, which can be used as tags to group and find relevant Discount Codes in the Discount code list easier.
- Optional: In the Condition section, if the text box is left empty, the Discount Code (when applied) will be effective on all Carts.
  If you define a predicate condition, the Discount Code (when applied) will only be effective on Carts matching the defined condition. For more information on the syntax, see Predicate syntax.
- In the Cart discounts section, add the Cart Discounts that should take effect on the Cart when the Discount Code is applied.
  Only 10 Cart Discounts can be added. The Cart Discount with the higher rank (closer to 1) takes precedence. For more information, see Create a Cart Discount.
Click Save.
By default, newly created Discount Codes are inactive and not applicable on the Cart. To apply Discount Codes on a Cart, you must activate them.
Optional: If a Custom Field is defined for the Discount Code, select it from the drop-down on the Custom Fields tab, and depending on the field type, enter or select the value for it.
