Discount Codes & Promotions
How to create percentage, fixed-amount, and free-shipping discount codes in Sellrn, and how to set usage limits and expiry dates.
Discount codes let you offer customers a reduction on their order at checkout. Sellrn supports percentage discounts, fixed-amount discounts, and free shipping codes — each with optional usage limits, minimum order values, and expiry dates.
Creating a discount code
- Go to Dashboard → Discounts and click Create discount.
- Choose a discount type:
- Percentage off — e.g. 20% off the order total.
- Fixed amount off — e.g. £10 off the order total.
- Free shipping — waives the shipping cost at checkout.
- Buy X get Y — buy a quantity, get a free or discounted item.
- Enter a code (e.g.
SUMMER20). Codes are case-insensitive. Click Generate for a random code. - Set optional restrictions (see below).
- Click Save.
Discount restrictions
| Restriction | What it does |
|---|---|
| Minimum order value | Code only applies when the cart total exceeds this amount (e.g. £50). |
| Minimum quantity | Code only applies when the cart contains at least this many items. |
| Maximum uses | The total number of times this code can be redeemed across all customers. |
| One use per customer | Each customer email can only use this code once. |
| Applies to | Entire order, specific products, or specific collections. |
| Start / end date | Code is only valid between these dates. Leave end date blank for no expiry. |
Automatic discounts
Automatic discounts apply to qualifying carts without requiring a code. They are useful for site-wide sales (e.g. "20% off everything this weekend"). Create them the same way as codes but leave the code field blank and toggle Apply automatically.
Only one automatic discount can be active at a time. If multiple rules qualify, the highest-value discount wins.
Stacking discounts
By default, customers can only apply one discount code per order. To allow a code to stack with an automatic discount, toggle Combinable when creating the code.
Viewing usage
Open a discount code to see how many times it has been used, total revenue attributed to it, and a list of orders that applied it. Export the usage data as CSV from the discount detail page.
