Discount codes

A discount code gives the customer a deduction in the checkout. Here you create, edit and turn off codes.

Where: Discount codes in the sidebar.

#Create a code

1. Press New code.
2. Fill in the fields in the table below.
3. Press Create code.

BunStack counts Minimum subtotal in the code's currency for a fixed amount and in the base currency for percent. It converts a cart in another currency at today's rate, and a fixed amount the same way. With Not on reduced items only the items the code applies to count, not the sale items.

#Codes that skip sale items

With Not on reduced items the code only applies to items at full price. An item counts as reduced when:

• it has a compare-at price above its price, or
• a pricing rule has lowered its price.

BunStack decides this with the price the checkout charges, in the cart's currency. The customer cannot change it.

• Percent is worked out on the full-price items. A fixed amount is never larger than those items.
• The discount is spread over those lines only. The order lines show the deduction per line, so the order shows which items got the discount.
• When the cart has both sale items and full-price items, the discount shows with "The discount does not apply to sale items or items with a promotional price." under the code.
• When the cart has only sale items, the customer gets no discount and "The code does not apply to sale items or items with a promotional price."

Example: 10 % with Not on reduced items. The cart has a racket for 1,000 kr and a rubber on sale for 400 kr (compare-at price 500 kr). The discount is 100 kr, on the racket only.

#Combining codes

Combines with other codes and gift cards is saved with the code and shown in the list, but changes nothing yet. An order takes one discount code, and there are no gift cards. The rule applies when an order can carry more than one code or a gift card.

#The list

The tabs split the codes by status, with counts:

All shows every code. The line above the list counts loaded codes and how many times they have been used. The Uses column shows, for example, "3 / 10" or "3 / ∞". The search field searches by code. The Value column shows NOT ON REDUCED and COMBINES when the rule is on.

On the row are the copy button, the pencil (Edit) and ⋯:

• Enable or Disable turns the code on or off.
• Duplicate opens the form with the code plus "-COPY". The copy is off until you turn it on.
• Delete asks you to confirm. If the code has been used, the dialog says how many times, for example It has been used 3 times. Prefer turning the code off: the history then stays.

#What the customer sees

The storefront shows these texts in Swedish when its language is Swedish, otherwise in English. The English text is quoted here.

The customer types the code under "Discount code" in the checkout's order summary and presses "Apply". The field is also on the cart page when the storefront shows the cart as a page, see The checkout as the customer sees it.

• Upper and lower case do not matter. "summer10" and "SUMMER10" are the same code.
• The order and the emails show the code as it is stored.
• The deduction shows at once.
• The customer can change or remove the code while the checkout window shows.

The code applies to the cart after pricing rules, before shipping. A fixed amount is never larger than the cart. BunStack spreads the discount over the order lines before it works out VAT, so the VAT per line is right. A code with Not on reduced items is worked out and spread over the full-price items only.

Codes from loyalty programme rewards apply to every item, sale items included, and cannot be combined.

#Limits

• The storefront must be live for the code to work.
• A code for one storefront works only there.
• A visitor can try 30 codes per minute.
