Discount Codes

Discount codes enable you to give a one or more Users a discount on one or more purchases. (Unlike coupons, which are only designed for one-time use.) There are four (4) discount types, each of which can be applied to an overall purchase or to selected products:

One-time Use - applies to a single transaction.
By Number of Uses - discount can be used for a specified number of purchases.
By Amount - discount can be used for up to a total dollar amount.
By Date - discount can be used an unlimited number of times until a specified date.

In the Shopping Cart, shoppers can type a code in the Coupon/Discount Code field, click Apply, and then repeat the process until all codes have been entered. Once applied, a code cannot be deleted from the order.
