Before you can start creating amazing discounts, sign in to your account using your registered credentials

Once logged in, you'll land on your Orderain dashboard. This is your central hub for managing your shops.

Now that you are in your Shop Dashboard, you need to find the section dedicated to managing coupons.

On your Shop Dashboard, look for the left-hand sidebar navigation menu. Scroll through the options until you find a button labeled "Coupons". Click on the "Coupons" button to access the coupon management page.

You've arrived at the coupon management page! Let's create your first discount coupon.

On the Coupon page, you will see a list of any existing coupons you may have created. To start creating a new one, locate and click the "+ Create Coupon" button. This button is usually prominently placed at the top of the page, often on the right side. Clicking this button will initiate the coupon creation process.

Now you need to decide what kind of discount you want to offer. Our platform supports three main coupon types.

In the "Coupon Type" section, you'll find options to choose from. Select the coupon type that best suits your promotional goals:

With the coupon type selected, it's time to configure the specifics of your discount.

In the "Coupon Details" section, you'll need to provide the following information:

• Coupon Code: Create a unique code that customers will use at checkout. You can either:
  
• Enter a Custom Code: Make it memorable and relevant to your promotion (e.g., "SUMMER15").
• Generate a Code: Use our platform's "Generate" functionality to create a random, unique code automatically.
• Discount Value: Enter the discount amount. This will be:
  • Percentage: For Percentage Discount Coupons, enter the percentage value (e.g., 10 for 10%).
  • Flat Amount: For Flat Discount Coupons, enter the fixed amount (e.g., 5 for $5).
  • For Buy-X-Get-Y: You'll define the 'X' (quantity to buy) and 'Y' (quantity to get), and any discount applied to 'Y' in subsequent sections.

Control when your coupon is active by setting its start and end dates.

In the "Validity Period" section:

• Start Date (Required): Choose the date from which the coupon will become active and usable by customers.
• End Date (Optional): If you want your coupon to be valid for a limited time, set an end date. Leaving this blank means the coupon will be valid indefinitely until you manually deactivate it.

Setting a validity period is crucial for time-limited promotions and seasonal sales.

Make your coupons even more targeted by setting discount rules.

The "Discount Rules" section allows you to specify where your coupon can be applied:

• Applicable Type: Choose from:
  
• Specific Category: The coupon will only be valid for products within a selected category.
• Specific Sub-Category: Narrow it down further to a particular sub-category of products.
• Specific Products: Apply the discount to only a selection of individual products.
• All Products: The coupon will be valid for everything in your shop.
• Minimum Order Value: You can set conditions based on order value. The coupon is only valid if the customer's order total reaches a certain amount (e.g., minimum $50 order).

These rules allow you to tailor your coupons for specific promotions and product lines.

Control how your coupons are used with usage limits.

The "Usage / Customer Limit" section provides controls over coupon usage:

• Usage Limit per Coupon: Set the maximum number of times the coupon can be used in total. For example, limit it to the first 100 customers.
• Usage Limit per Customer: Restrict each customer to using the coupon only once. This is useful for preventing abuse and spreading the discount to more customers.
• Specific Customers: You can even target the coupon to specific customers on your shop. This allows you to create exclusive discounts for loyal customers or special groups.

These limits help you manage your discount budget and target your promotions effectively.

You're almost there! The final step is to save your newly configured discount coupon.

Once you have filled in all the necessary details and configured the rules and limits to your liking. Locate the "Save" button. Click this button to finalize the coupon creation.

After saving, you will be redirected to the coupon list page where you will now see your newly created coupon listed along with any other active or inactive coupons. Congratulations, you've successfully created a discount coupon!

Creating discount coupons on our platform is a straightforward process, empowering you to boost sales, attract new customers, and reward loyal shoppers.
