From Configuration Menu, click Pricing and Promotions → Coupons
NOTE: As of version 9.3, the old coupon functionality has been replaced by the much more flexible Promotion Engine. Please see this page for details.
This page allows store admins to create coupons to grant their customers special discounts. Coupons can be created that are valid for any purchase, or they can be restricted to specific items.
Note: The software does not support 'buy one get one'-type promotions. This type of coupon would require customization.
On the main coupon management page, coupons can be found through the Search box, or by using the links on the right to view coupons grouped by letter of the alphabet. Store admins can also click 'Add New' to generate a new coupon, 'Edit' an existing one, or 'Delete' a coupon entirely.
Clicking Add New or Edit on the page pictured above will display the fields below.
