Add a coupon code to a promotion

Coupons let you make promotions available only to shoppers who enter a valid coupon code at checkout.

You can create a coupon with one code that can be used by anyone or a batch of unique codes all based on a prefix that you create. If you add a coupon code to a promotion, shoppers must provide the coupon code to apply the promotion to their order.

You cannot edit the code after you create it but you can delete it and create a new one. Coupon codes are case sensitive and must be unique across all promotions, even promotions that are not enabled.

You can limit the redemption of coupon codes in two ways:

• You can limit the number of times that code can be redeemed during the life of the promotion. This limitation applies only to the code, not to individual shoppers.
• You can limit the number of times a shopper can apply a code to an order. For example, suppose a code

On the Marketing page, you can create one coupon code per promotion. However, you can use the Admin API to associate more than one coupon with a promotion. If a promotion has multiple coupons or coupon batches associated with it, the promotion’s Availability page displays the number of coupons and coupon batches, plus the ID for the first of each.

Important: If you delete all a promotion’s coupons, Commerce automatically disables the promotion until you associate it with at least one coupon or coupon batch and then re-enable it by selecting the Enabled checkbox on the promotion’s details page. See Enable and disable promotions for more information.
