Staff members need permission to view discounts to open this page, and permission to manage discounts to create, edit, bulk edit or change their status. The basic discount types work on every plan; filters and bulk actions depend on your plan.

Types of discounts

When you create a discount, you decide two things: what the customer gets, and how they get it.

What the customer getsDetails
Products discountA percentage, such as 15% off, or a fixed amount, such as 50 riyals off. It can cover every product or the products and categories you choose, and you can limit it to customer groups such as your VIP customers.
Free shippingNo shipping fee. It's often tied to a minimum cart value, such as free shipping above 150 riyals, or to certain cities or customer groups.
Free cash on deliveryNo cash on delivery fee
Progressive discountA discount that grows with the cart value or the number of products, such as 10% off from 1,000 riyals, 15% from 3,000 riyals and 20% from 5,000 riyals. See Progressive discounts.

Customers get the discount with a Code they type at checkout, or it applies in the cart by itself when the order meets its rules, with the Automatic method. A coupon group gives many codes under one discount, such as one code for each affiliate partner. See Create a discount code. To learn which discounts add up in the same cart, see When discounts overlap.

What the page shows

At the top of the page:

  • Create opens the Create new discount window, where you start a custom discount, a progressive discount or a ready-made template. See Create a discount code.

  • Export sends a request to export all your discounts. After the Sent successfully message, the dashboard opens the export requests page, where you download the file when it's ready. See Export requests.

When the store has no discounts yet, the page shows Over 70% of shoppers use discount codes. with a Create your first discount button.

To learn which marketing channel brings customers, create a separate code for each one, such as Instagram, email or each influencer, and compare their results here. To run a past offer again, Duplicate it and change the copy's dates instead of starting from scratch.

Use codes for campaigns aimed at specific people, such as an email or an influencer, and automatic discounts for store-wide offers. Match the type to your goal: a progressive discount raises the average order value, free shipping reduces abandoned carts, and separate codes measure each marketing channel. Try a new offer on a small scale and check its results before you widen it, and avoid running discounts that overlap in the same period: customers get confused, and a discount you didn't intend may apply.

Find a discount

  • Type in the search box to find a discount.

  • Use the sort menu to order the list by Code, Discount, Total usage, Start date, End date or Status, ascending or descending.
