How Do I Create a Discount Code on Shopify?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 1:16 pm

Discount codes can be a great way to encourage customers to buy from your online store. You can offer a discount on a specific product, or on all products in your store. Discount codes can also be used to offer free shipping or a percentage off the customer’s order.

Creating a discount code in Shopify is easy and only takes a few minutes. Here’s how:

1. Log in to your Shopify admin and go to Discounts. 2. Click Add discount. 3. In the Discount code section, enter a name for the discount code. This is the code that your customers will enter at checkout to receive the discount. 4. In the Apply discount section, select the type of discount you want to offer:
-Percentage off: Enter the percentage you want to take off the order in the Percentage field. For example, enter 10 for 10% off. -Fixed amount: Enter the amount you want to take off the order in the Amount field. For example, enter 5 for $5 off.

-Free shipping: Select Free shipping from the Discount type drop-down menu. The Shipping rate field will appear so you can select which shipping rate will have free shipping applied to it. 5. If you want this discount code to have an expiration date, click Set expiration date and then enter the date in the Expiry field using mm/dd/yyyy format, or click Never expires if you don’t want it to expire. 6. If you want this discount code to be case sensitive, check the Case sensitive box so that upper and lowercase letters are both required when entering the code at checkout. For example, if you enter DISCOUNT as the code, then customers must enter DISCOUNT at checkout (rather than discount or Discount). This option is turned off by default. 7. If you want this discount code to be limited to one use per customer, check the Limit usage to X items box and enter the number of items in the field next to it, or leave it blank for no limit. This option is turned off by default so that customers can use the discount code multiple times. 8. Click Save.

PRO TIP: If you are creating a discount code on Shopify, be aware that there is a limit to the number of codes that you can create. Additionally, discount codes can only be applied to certain products and collections. Be sure to read the Shopify documentation carefully before creating a discount code.

Conclusion

Creating a discount code in Shopify is easy and only takes a few minutes.
