Use conditions to define more specific situations in which the discount can apply. Conditions allow you to limit the discount code to customers from a specific country, for orders over a certain subtotal, or for those ordering a certain number of items.
Discount codes - Creating discount codes
Navigating to Discounts
From the main menu, go to Sales and Index. In the sales area click on the Discounts tab.
Creating a new discount code
Click Create and enter the name of your code (you can edit this later if you need to). Click the Create button.
Once your code is created, use the Details panel to enter the discount code information, then click Update.
By default discount codes are created with one condition:
| Property | Operator | Value |
|---|---|---|
| subtotal | greater-than | 0 |
This means that the discount code can apply to all orders when it's entered at checkout. You can remove this condition and add more specific conditions as shown below.
