Promotion codes

What is a promotion code?

Promotion codes let you offer discounts to your customers. The system has three core building blocks:

• Coupon: The base configuration holding the discount rules, limits, and validity period
• Coupon Code: The actual code you hand out to customers (e.g. SUMMER2025, SAVE20)
• Redemption: A record of a customer using a code

One coupon can have many codes, and each code can be redeemed independently.

How do customers use a code?

On the checkout page, the customer enters the code in the "Promotion code" field and clicks "Apply" — the discount is calculated and the total updates automatically. Only one code can be applied per checkout; an applied code can be removed and replaced with a different one.

When a code is applied, the start/expiry dates, redemption limits, the customer's previous redemptions, and product eligibility are all checked automatically.

Creating a coupon

1. In the dashboard, open your project's Coupons menu and click "New coupon".
2. Fill in the following fields:
   • Name — the coupon's name.
   • Scope — Entire order or Specific products. If the latter is selected with no products chosen, it applies to all products.
   • Discount type and value — Percentage (%) (maximum 100) or Fixed amount (₮).
   • Maximum redemptions (optional) — how many times the coupon can be used in total; all of the coupon's codes share this limit. Leave empty for unlimited.
   • Per-customer limit — default 1, 0 for unlimited.
   • Start / expiry date (optional) — leave empty to start immediately and never expire.
3. Click "Save".

Creating codes

On the coupon's detail page, create codes in the "Coupon codes" section via the "Add code" button:

• Single code — enter the code manually, or leave empty to generate a random one. A code can have its own redemption limit (leave empty to inherit the coupon's limit).
• Multiple codes — generate 1–1000 random codes at once. Each code generated this way can be redeemed only once.

Click "Download CSV" to export all codes as a CSV file.

Notes

• A code counts as redeemed only after the checkout completes successfully.
• If the discount exceeds the order total, the discount is capped at the order amount.

Requirements for using promotion codes on a checkout

• Order-total discounts: No price_id required. Works with items created via price_data.
• Product discounts: All items must use price_id. Product-scoped promotion codes can't be applied to items created via price_data.

See the Checkout API page for details.
