Create a Sample Coupon 

As an illustration, let us create a sample promotion and generate 100 coupons. These coupons will be redeemed for orders placed by first-time customers. The promotion will offer a 20% discount for all orders between 1 March and 31 May 2024.

As coupons must be linked to promotions, the first step is to create a new promotion:

  1. Navigate to Marketing > Promotions > Promotions in the main menu.

  2. Click Coupons Actions > Create Promotion on the top right.

  3. In the form that opens, specify the discount details and items, making sure that the Triggered by field is set to Coupons and Conditions. The sample promotion is called Spring Sale, and the discount options are 20% off all orders.
