Create and Manage Discount Codes

This article explains how to create, configure, and manage discount codes on mycreator.page. Discount codes allow you to offer price reductions at checkout, helping you drive conversions, run promotions, and reward customers.

What Are Discount Codes

Discount codes are promotional codes that customers can enter during checkout to receive a price reduction.

They can be used to:

• Launch new products
• Run limited-time promotions
• Reward loyal customers
• Partner with affiliates or collaborators
• Recover abandoned carts

Discounts can be applied as a percentage or a fixed amount.

Accessing Discount Management

To manage your discount codes:

1. Go to your Dashboard
2. Navigate to the Discounts section

You will see a list of all your discount codes along with their current status.

Discount Status Types

Each code can have one of the following statuses:

• Active — The code is available for customers to use
• Inactive — The code exists but cannot be used
• Deactivated — The code is no longer valid or has been turned off

This helps you control when and how your discounts are applied.

Creating a New Discount Code

1. Click “New Discount Code”
2. Fill in the required details
3. Save the code

Each field determines how the discount behaves at checkout.

1. Code

This is the code customers will enter during checkout.

• Use uppercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only
• Example: SUMMER-25

The code should be simple, memorable, and easy to type.

2. Name

This is an internal label used for your own reference.

• Maximum length is typically 60 characters
• Example: Summer Launch Discount

Customers do not see this field.

3. Description

An optional field to describe the purpose of the discount.

• Maximum length is typically 200 characters
• Useful for internal notes or campaign tracking

4. Discount Type

Choose how the discount is applied:

• Percentage — A percentage off the total price (for example, 20 percent)
• Fixed Amount — A specific amount deducted from the price

The type you choose depends on your promotion strategy.

5. Value

Set the value of the discount.

• For percentage discounts, enter a value between 1 and 100
• For fixed discounts, enter the amount to be deducted

Make sure the value aligns with your pricing and margins.

6. Maximum Uses

You can limit how many times a code can be used.

• Leave empty for unlimited usage
• Set a number to cap total redemptions

This is useful for exclusive or limited campaigns.

7. End Date

You can define when the discount expires.

• Must be set to today or a future date
• After this date, the code will no longer be valid

Adding an end date creates urgency and encourages faster conversions.

8. Applicable Products

Choose which products the discount applies to.

• Leave empty to apply the code to all published products
• Select specific products to restrict usage

This allows you to control where discounts are applied and protect pricing on certain items.

Managing Existing Discount Codes

After creating a code, you can manage it from the Discounts section.

1. Editing a Code

You can update:

• Discount value
• Expiration date
• Product restrictions
• Usage limits

This is useful for adjusting campaigns without creating a new code.

2. Deactivating a Code

You can disable a code when it is no longer needed.

• Deactivated codes cannot be used at checkout
• Useful for ending promotions without deleting records

3. Deleting a Code

You can permanently remove a discount code.

• This action requires confirmation
• Deleted codes cannot be recovered

Use this option only if you no longer need the code.

How Discount Codes Work at Checkout

When a customer applies a discount code:

1. They enter the code during checkout
2. The system validates the code
3. The discount is applied if all conditions are met
4. The final price is updated before payment

If a code is invalid, expired, or not applicable, it will not be accepted.

Best Practices

• Use simple and memorable codes for better usability
• Set expiration dates to create urgency
• Limit usage for exclusive campaigns
• Apply discounts selectively to protect high-margin products
• Combine discount codes with email campaigns or cart recovery for better results

Discount codes are a powerful tool for increasing conversions and managing promotions effectively when used strategically.
