How to create coupons

A coupon is a promo code your customers enter at checkout. Create one by choosing the type (percentage or fixed amount), the value and the rules (expiry, limit), then share the code. About 3 minutes.

Before you start

  • Your store is online with at least one product to sell.

A coupon is a promo code your customers enter at checkout to get a discount. It's a simple, powerful marketing lever: welcome offers, clearance, loyalty, seasonal campaigns… Create one in 3 minutes.

What you'll learn

  • Create a coupon and choose its discount type.
  • Set its rules (expiry, usage limit).
  • Track and enable your coupons.

Step by step

Step 1 — Open coupon management

In the left-hand menu, open Growth then Coupons. At the top, the metrics (marker ①) show the total number of coupons and how many are active. The "New coupon" button (marker ②) starts the creation. Each row shows the code (marker ③) — the one the customer types — its type, remaining uses, status and a toggle to enable/disable it.

Why? This page centralizes all your promo codes: you see at a glance which are active and how many times they've been used.

Step 2 — Create your coupon

First choose the discount type (marker ①): Percentage (e.g. -20%) or Fixed amount (e.g. -50 DH). Then enter the discount value (marker ②). Under Usage rules (marker ③), set an expiry date and a usage limit (or turn on "Never expire"). The code is generated automatically and shown in the preview (marker ④) — you can copy it. Click Save.

Why? The type and value set the discount; the rules prevent abuse and create urgency (offer limited in time or quantity).

Expected result

Your coupon is created and active. Its code appears in the list, ready to share with your customers (email, social media, banner). As soon as a customer enters it at checkout, the discount applies automatically.

Expert tips

  • Choose a simple code. Short and memorable (e.g. SUMMER20, THANKS10): easier to communicate.
  • Create urgency. A near expiry date encourages ordering right away.
  • Limit uses. Frame your promo budget with a usage limit.
  • Communicate the code. A coupon is useless if it's not shared: email, banner, social.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the customer enter the code?

In their cart, when finalizing the order. The discount then applies automatically to the total.

Percentage or fixed amount: which to choose?

A percentage (e.g. -20%) scales with the cart total; a fixed amount (e.g. -50 DH) gives a constant discount. Choose based on your goal.

Can I disable a coupon without deleting it?

Yes. Use the Active toggle on its row: the code stops working but stays saved.

How do I limit the number of uses?

When creating it, set the usage limit. Once reached, the coupon is no longer valid.

What's the difference from a promotion?

A coupon requires a code entered by the customer. A promotion (Growth → Promotions menu) applies automatically, with no code.
