Discount codes, gift cards and refer a friend
Codes for an occasion, gift cards sold online or at the counter, and a thank-you for customers who bring a friend.
Go to Marketing → Discount codes and gift cards (the Promotions page).
Discount codes
- Under New discount code, type the Code customers will type ("SPRING10").
- Type: Amount off or Percent off, and the amount.
- If you like: For one pre-order (or Any pre-order), a Minimum order ($), Uses at most, Once per customer.
- Tap Create code.
Customers type the code at checkout. The discount comes off before tax. Once a code is used, its amount can't change: tap Turn off instead (and Turn on to use it again). A code can go in a campaign too.
Gift cards sold online
Tick Sell gift cards on my shop page and set the Amounts to offer ($, separated by commas). You can Also let buyers choose any amount from $10 to $500. Buyers pay you the way you take payments; nothing is issued until you mark the order paid. Then the card is emailed to the person it's for (on the day the buyer chose) or to the buyer. It needs a way to be paid first (an e-Transfer address, or cash) in Settings.
A gift card you sold yourself
Sold one for cash or e-Transfer? Under Issue a gift card: the Amount ($), For (name), Their email (optional) and a Message (optional). Tick Email them the gift card now to send it. Tap Create gift card. Write the code down or copy it now: it won't be shown again. Print the card to hand it over.
A gift card never expires, and what isn't spent stays on it. All gift cards shows what's left on each, and the total still on your cards (what you owe customers). Top up or correct changes an amount; Disable (lost card) stops one until you Enable again.
Refer a friend
Under Refer a friend: what The friend gets, on a first order, what Your customer gets back, and a minimum (On orders of at least ($)). Tap Turn it on. Customers with an account who've picked up an order get a code to share (on their Invite & earn); a friend gets your discount on their first order, and once it's picked up, your customer gets a thank-you code.
Discount codes and gift cards come with some plans: the Plan page says which.
