Different codes for different products

Last updated 4 months ago

This article shows you how to create a promotion code that applies different discounts to different products. You also learn how to create an optional mandatory product which is a required purchase before Upmind applies the promo code discount.

Upmind offers two offer types of discounts.

For store-wide discounts, create a single discount code for every product or service.
For a group discount, create a single code that applies a single discount to multiple items.

Opening the Promotions page

Log in to your Upmind account.
Click Settings.
Click the Promotions tile.
On the next page, click the Add promotion button.

Setting promotion details

Fill fields and customise options on the Add promotion page.

Check the box to activate the promotion code.

Click the Individual promotion per product tile.

Adding products

Click the Manage products button.

On the new window, click the field and select a product.

Select a discount type: fixed amount or percentage.

Repeat steps to add another product.

📘 By default, the Limit quantity box is unchecked. If you check the box, add a minimum and maximum quantity.

Adding a mandatory product

You can make promotion codes conditional upon the purchase of one or more mandatory products.

For example, a 10% discount on Moka coffee pots is not valid unless the customer adds a bag of coffee beans (the mandatory product) to the basket.

Under the Mandatory products heading, click the Manage products button.
Click Attach new products.
Complete the workflow to add a product or service.
