4. Choose between Bulk Codes or Standalone Code 
   What's the difference? 🤔
   1. Bulk: Multiple unique codes E.g. You want to make 100 unique discount codes, such as 10% off all Drinks, and be able to track who has redeemed these
   2. Standalone: 1 custom code E.g. You want one code anyone can use to get 10% off all drink
      
5. If doing Bulk Codes:
   1. Program name: What will you call the campaign (E.g. 10% discount on drinks)
   2. Auto update: Keep the checkbox ticked
   3. Customers will be allowed to join the campaign only once: Keep toggled off
   4. Category: Leave blank
   5. Description: You can use this field to describe the discount, eg. 10% off Food
   6. Code redemption limit:
      1. Add in the number of redemptions allowed if you want to limit it.
      2. Tick the Unlimited check box if you don’t want to limit redemptions
   7. Code count: Set the number of codes you’d like to generate.
   8.  Advanced code settings:
      1. Tick the checkbox if you want to customize how the code looks.
         

         1. Charset: If doing bulk codes we’d recommend keeping this set to Alphanumeric. The code will combine letters and numbers making it more complex

         2. Code length: Enter the number of characters you want the code to contain.

            😘 Keep it short & sweet so it's easy for the customer to add in. 3 characters = 45K+ unique options.

         3. Pattern: You can use Pattern to insert a key phrase or acronym in the middle of the code. Use # to define the random characters before or after the phrase, eg. #MRYUM# - 3MRYUML

         4. Prefix: Do you want your code to start with a particular letter? Leave blank if no preference ie. ABC####

         5. Postfix: Do you want your code to end with a particular letter? Leave blank if no preference ie. ####ABC

6. If doing a standalone code
   1. Additional Information: You can use this field to describe the discount (e.g. 10% off Food)
   2. Category: Leave blank
   3. Code redemption limit:
      • If there is no limit, keep ‘Unlimited’ ticked
      • if there is a limit (e.g. 100), untick ‘Unlimited’ and add in the number of redemptions
   4. Custom code: Add in your desired code (e.g. FOOD10)
      😘 Keep it short & sweet so it's easy for the customer to add in.
   5. Advanced code settings: can be left unticked for standalone codes
7. Click Next Step on the right-hand side

9. Discount Value
   
   • Dollar Value Discount: Select $ Amount Type
   • Percentage Value Discount: Select % Percentage Type

10. Apply Discount To: Whole cart
    

    ---

11. Value (%) or Discount Value: Enter accordingly, e.g. if you were doing a 10% discount you'd enter 10.
     

    ---

12. For a % discount, you can set an Amount Limit which limits the total discount applied. 
    For example, if you want to offer a 10% discount where the customer can get a maximum of $10 off their whole order, you would enter 10.
