How do I add Storewide Discounts?

Manage your storewide promotional coupon codes from a single place. Allow key customers to enter coupon code(s) at checkout, so that they can access a special storewide discount, have their shipping fees waived, and/or have all their surcharges waived. You can also setup promotional coupon codes at the individual product level when editing the product.

  1. From the General Settings section of the Shopping Cart menu, choose Storewide Discount.
  2. Apply Storewide Discount:
    Complete this section to offer a storewide discount to key customers entering this promotional coupon code at checkout. This discount will be applied to the sub-total cost of all items purchased. Send this coupon code out to your key customers when you announce the storewide discount. You can optionally set a minimum purchase amount above which the discount will apply (e.g. "Receive 10% discount when you purchase items worth $100.00 or more"). See example.
    • Enter the Storewide Discount Percent (for example: enter 10 to offer a 10% discount). This percentage will be deducted off the sub-total for all items purchased.

      • Must be a unique code not used for any other purposes.
