Configure Coupons

Use the fields on this screen to enable the Coupons by Code feature and to set the text of coupon messages that appear in the shopping cart.

Enable Add Coupons by Code

ShopSite coupons can be used in two ways: either as a URL that the customer clicks on, or as a coupon code that the customer enters into a field on the shopping cart. The URL method is always active, but you must check this box to enable the Coupon Code field on the shopping cart. You can still use URLs when you have enabled coupon codes.

Allow Only One Coupon Per Order

Check this box to limit customers to one coupon per order. Customers can add more than one coupon to the order, but ShopSite will only use the last one added to calculate the order total. When this option is disabled (not checked), customers can add multiple coupons to an order and they will all be used to calculate the order total, assuming the customer has also put the appropriate products in the shopping cart.
