The percentage code — WELCOME10, SUMMER25 — is the most-used promotion in ecommerce for a reason: simple to make, instantly understood by customers.

Creating one

  1. Discounts → Create discount and choose the percentage type.

  2. Title it for your own reference (“Summer Sale 20% Off”) and set the discount code customers type at checkout — or select Generate code for a random one.

  3. Enter the percentage off.

  4. Optionally set a Maximum discount amount — the margin guardrail that stops 25%-off from stinging on your most expensive item.

  5. Save. The code is live as soon as it is active.

Then shape who it works for

The Conditions sections refine it: minimum purchase requirements, which products or collections it applies to, which customers, usage limits and active dates. See Discounts | Conditions & Limits for the full tour.

Tips

  • Always set the max amount on blanket percentage codes — it is the difference between a promotion and a lesson.

  • Short, typeable codes (SUMMER25) beat clever ones (SMMR26X) at checkout conversion.
