Discount codes are a powerful way to attract new customers or to entice returning customers to purchase from your online store again. You can create one or many discount codes at once.

Enabling discount codes at checkout

To begin using discount codes for your online store, you will first need to allow discount codes to be used at checkout. To enable discount codes:

1. In your eCom admin, navigate to checkout.
2. Click Configuration.
3.  Toggle on the Discount Codes switch to enable discount codes at checkout.

Creating discount codes

With Lightspeed eCom, you can create a wide variety of discount codes to share with your customers. To create discount codes for your customers to use at checkout: 

1. In your eCom admin, navigate to marketing.
2. Click add discount code.
3. Enter the name or names of the discount codes you wish to create. When creating multiple discount codes at once, add the name for each discount code on a new line.
4. Set the discount amount or percentage to apply. 
5.  Click enable discount code.
   
6. Review and edit the default settings to suit your needs. By default, discount codes: 
   • Are disabled and need to be enabled.
   • Are active for a maximum of two weeks from the date they're created. You can adjust the time period setting.
   • Can be used an unlimited number of times. Optionally, you can set a maximum number of uses.
   • Don't discount shipping costs.
   • Require no minimum total to be applied in the cart.
   • Can be applied to all products and categories. You can make category-specific discount codes.
   • Are applied before tax.
   • Don't automatically incentivize checkout.
   • Will remain in the list of discount codes, even after expiring. You can delete them if necessary.
7. (Optional) By default, discount codes and discount rules can't be combined. The option to combine discount codes and rules needs to be enabled from the discount code settings:
   1. Navigate to the Settings section.

   2. Toggle Allow code to be combined with discount rules. 

      

8. When you've finished configuring the discount code, click Save.
