You can define several kinds of discount coupons for your stall. Coupons allow your customers to get a discount when their order meets certain requirements (e.g. when they order products for a sum over a certain amount, or when they order a certain product, or when they order a product that belongs to a discounted category). To get a coupon discount a customer has to know a valid coupon code which he should enter into the 'Discount coupon' form at the time of making his order. Markets Online shopping cart software identifies the coupon by the code and subtracts the coupon discount amount from the order subtotal or, if a global discount is applied, from the result of the subtraction of the global discount from the subtotal.

1. Click on Coupons in the Inventory menu, the 'Stall coupons' form will appear.
