Instructions
- To set up coupons, go to Setup > Coupons. This opens your list of coupons.
- Once there, select coupon and then new coupon to create a coupon.

- Name – Internal name for the coupon
- Code – Code you want customers to use in the shopping cart
- Start / End Date – Time period the coupon is active
- Discount (Percent / Amount) – Percent discount or set dollar amount off

What the Customer Sees
Upon checkout, a new step will be added to the process where the customer is asked for a promotion code.
Make sure to post the code on your homepage so that the customer knows the code.
