How do I add a Discount Code to my Storefront?

Selling on your Storefront just got better with the new Paystack Discount Codes feature. When running a promo sale, you may wish to give discounts to your customers who make purchases from your store as an incentive to make them buy more. You can now do this directly from your Paystack Storefront.

You can create a Discount Code for your Storefront in 5 easy steps:

1. Login to your Paystack Dashboard.
2. Go to Storefronts.
3. Select an existing Storefront or create a new one.
   
   
   
   
4. Click the Discount Codes tab, and click the +New Discount Code button.
   
   
   
   
5. You'll get a prompt like the one below. Set all your preferences and click the Create button at the bottom of the prompt, and your discount code is ready to use.

Discount Code Customisations

1. Discount Code: Here, you'll need to enter the discount code you want your customers to apply on checkout after placing their orders. It can be a set of uppercase letters or a combination of uppercase letters and numbers like WINBT, TTHE12, etc.
   
   
2. Discount Type: The discount type is where you can select the kind of discount you want to give your customers. You can give a Fixed Amount discount e.g. NGN 500 off a customer's order, a Percentage discount e.g 10% or a Delivery Fee discount (free delivery).
   
   
3. Discount Value: This is where you input the value for your discount depending on whether you're giving a fixed amount discount or a percentage discount.
   
   
4. Set Minimum order amount: This is the minimum amount of items a customer can purchase to qualify for the discount. For example, a discount of NGN 500 on all orders from NGN 10,000 and above.
   
   
5. Set maximum use per customer: This is the total number of times a customer can apply a particular discount code to their order. For example, first-time customers can get a 10% discount on all their orders if they apply this discount code - WEL10 at Checkout.
   
   
6. Set maximum number of claims: This is the total number of times a discount code can be used on orders. For example, a maximum number of claims set at 20 means that the discount code cannot be applied more than 20 times on checkout. After the 20th claim, the discount code becomes invalid.
   
   
7. Set validity period: A specific period you want the discount to run for. If you're running a Black Friday sale, you may set a validity period of Nov 15 - Nov 30. This means that any customer who tries to apply this discount code before November 15 and after November 30 will be unable to apply the discount successfully.

After creating your Discount Code, copy the code by clicking the copy Discount Code button and share it with anyone to apply on checkout.
You can also click on the link at the right side of the page - "Click here to copy a Storefront Link with this Discount Code pre-applied on checkout" - to copy the link to your Storefront with the Discount Code already applied on checkout.

Can I deactivate or delete a Discount Code?

Yes. You can deactivate a discount code at any time if you no longer want customers to be able to claim the discount. You can also reactivate the discount code whenever you run your discount sales again. To do this, simply click on the green toggle under the Status tab.

To delete a discount code, click on the 3 vertical dots at the extreme right corner of the page and select "Delete code". Deleting a discount code means that the code will no longer be found on your dashboard and if in future you wish to reuse that same code, you'd have to create a new one afresh.
