Offer a code to customers for a discount - whether for being a subscriber, for hard times or a Summer Sale to boost your marketing.
IMPORTANT: Discount codes ONLY work for the built-in FASO Shopping Cart and our "Add to Cart" buttons. |
Discount Codes need to be at least 2 characters long.
You Have 2 Options
To set up a discount code:
- Login to FASO Control Panel
- Click Commerce icon (upper right)
- Click Discount Codes (blue link, upper left)
- Click Add New (blue button)
- Click on your choice for Percentage or Fixed/set amount
Percentage
A percentage is taken off the sale.
If you choose Add Percentage Discount Code, you'll get a screen like this:
- For Discount Code, enter a name (it won't be cAse-sEnstiVe for your buyers)
- Select the % amount from the drop-down
- Make sure Yes is checked for Enabled
- Click Add & Save Now (blue button)
Fixed Amount
A fixed $ amount is deducted from the entire order, not per item.
If you set the Fixed Amount discount to $50, the buyer gets $50 off the entire order no matter how many items they purchase..
If you choose Add Fixed Amount Discount Code, you'll get a screen like this:
- Fill in what you want to call it, to the right of Discount Code
(Again, no symbols or spaces, but capitalization doesn't matter) - Make sure the Type is correct (no? See blue box below)
- Set a $ amount for the Fixed Amount
- Be sure it's Enabled
- Click Save Changes (button above or below)
NOTE: If your discount code is not appearing, make sure the feature is enabled in Settings:
