Create a Manual Coupon Code

The Promotion app lets you create manual coupon codes that buyers can use to get a discount at checkout. You can display the coupon code on your store navigation, announcement bar, product content, or send it through email marketing campaigns.

Manual coupon codes are useful for:

• First-order discounts
• Seasonal campaigns
• Email marketing offers
• Product-specific discounts
• Collection discounts
• Limited-time promotions

Note
A manual coupon code is not automatically applied to the order. Buyers need to copy the code and enter it at checkout to receive the discount.
