1 - Login to Giftpro
Login to the Giftpro admin area.

Once you’re logged in, click ‘Gifts’ in the main navigation bar, then click ‘Promo codes’. Finally, click ‘+ Create Code’ to start.

2 - Create your promo' code
Add some basic information to define how your promo code works.

Name
Name is the title of your promo code. We recommend naming the promo code in relation to the campaign you are running, for example, ‘Christmas 10% campaign’. The name is only ever seen in the admin area.

Code
This is the code your customers will enter to receive their discount in the checkout process, for example ‘XMAS10’. We recommend only using alphanumeric characters and avoiding special characters for your code.

Status
This is simply the status of the promo code: Choose live or inactive. If you have no live codes running, the promo code entry box won’t appear in the checkout process.

Property
If you only have access to one property then you won’t need to edit this field. If you have access to more than one then select the property that your promo code relates to.

3 - Save & continue
At this stage click ‘Save Changes’ and you will now see some additional settings.

4 - Set up how your promo' code works
Now, you’ll need to set up a few settings to finalise your promotional code.

Percentage amount
Specify the percentage amount you wish to apply as a discount.

Restrict by date or time
If you’d like your promo code to only be accepted during a specific period, tick this box and select a start and end date/time, then click ‘Apply’.

Restrict by product
If you’d like your promo code to only be applicable to specific products, tick this box and select the vouchers it applies to. Once selected the voucher will appear on the right-hand side. You can remove a voucher from the selected list by clicking on it. This can be used alongside the Restrict by basket total if you wish to restrict by a product and a total spend.

Restrict by usage
Tick this box if you’d like to restrict the number of vouchers that can be sold using this promo code.

Restrict by basket total

Tick this box if you'd like to restrict the use of a promo code inline with the basket total. Simply input the minimum basket total and click save.

Offline order use only
Tick this box if you’d like the promo code to be used for offline orders only. An offline order is one that is placed by your staff while logged in to the admin area.

5 - Save your promotional code
When you have completed the steps above click ‘Save Changes’ and your promo' code will become active. If you've scheduled your code to go live at a set time it won't be usable until then.
