  • Type: Fixed Value or Percentage. Choose fixed value if you want to discount a fixed amount (e.g: 5 for $5 discount) for different price products and percentage (e.g: 10 for 10%) if you want to calculate the discount amount from the products' price.
  • Filter Type: Excluding means the coupon can be applied to all the products/variants except specific collections/products/variants listed in the applicable collections/products/variants. Including should be chosen when the coupon can be applied to specific collections/products/variants only.
  • Applicable Collections/Products/Variants: choose specific collections, products, variants to apply the filter. If the coupon should be applied to all the products, just choose Excluding as the Filter type and leave the applicable Collections/Products/Variants empty.
  • Required quantity: this applies to each item in the shopping cart. The item quantity must be equal or greater than the required quantity before the coupon can be applied to that item.
  • Required product: Specify a product name to make the coupon valid only when customers purchase the specified product. The coupon will be invalid if the condition are not met.
  • Required purchase amount: set the minimum purchase amount to apply the coupon only when the order amount exceeds this value. The maximum purchase amount may be set if the coupon offers a percentage discount and you do not want it to exceed a certain value.
  • Limit Usage: specify the number of coupon to limit the number of times the coupon can be used. You can also set the maximum amount for percentage discount to cap the percentage discount to a certain amount (in case the calculated percentage discount is higher than that).
  • Apply Once: enable to apply the coupon to just a single quantity of an item in the order even though multiple quantities/items are eligible. The item selected is the one that yields the highest discount amount.
  • Apply Once/Customer: enable to limit single coupon usage per each customer. Customers cannot use the coupon to order again.
  • New Customer Only: enable to limit the coupon to new customers only, existing customers cannot use the coupon.
