“Promo codes” are discount codes a buyer enters in the cart to get a discount. A tool to stimulate sales and retain customers.
What you see
A table of promo codes with the columns ID, Code (e.g. SPRING), Discount, %, Quantity (how many times it can be used) and Authorization (a green check — registered users only, a red cross — for everyone). At the top are search, sorting and the + Create button. On the right are edit and delete.
How it works
- When creating a code (the + Create button) you set the code itself, the discount amount and a usage limit.
- The authorization toggle limits the code to logged-in users only — useful for loyalty programs.
- When a customer enters the code in the cart, the system checks the conditions and applies the discount.
Why it matters
Promo codes let you run promotions, win back customers and measure campaign performance (each code shows how much it sold). Usage limits protect against abuse.
