Create a coupon code

Under Advanced Options, enable the coupon option and choose the code you want buyers to enter at checkout. For example, you might create a code like SECRET.

Then choose the discount type.

· Percentage discount - for example, 50% off.

· Fixed amount discount - for example, $50 off.

Control how the coupon can be used

Depending on your offer, you can control coupon behavior so it matches your sales strategy.

· Limit how many times the code can be used in total.

· Limit the code to one use per customer.

· Apply the code only to first-time buyers.

· Require a minimum purchase amount.

· Set an expiration date so the code stops working automatically.

· Enable or disable the code at any time.

Set a purchase limit

You can also limit the total number of purchases available through the link. This is useful if you are selling limited coaching spots, a small workshop, a capped beta, or a limited digital product batch.
