First-order discount: a welcome promo code for new customers

• Code: WELCOME10
• Type: Percentage 10%
• Limits: 1 use per customer, no Total Uses cap
• Distribution: Email signup → autoresponder

A coupon you create here cannot check that it is the customer's first order. Per Customer = 1 stops one person using the code twice, but a customer who has ordered many times before can still use it once. There is no "first order only" switch on a coupon or a promo code. There are two ways to get a real first-order rule:

• A personal welcome code for each newsletter signup. The Welcome discount for newsletter signups has a First order only option, which refuses the code for anyone who has ordered before (judged by email or customer account).
• An automatic discount with no code. A discount rule with the First Order condition applies by itself to a customer's first order. Customers do not type anything.

Time-limited sitewide promo

• Code: SUMMER25
• Type: Percentage 25%
• Min Order: $50 (avoid giving 25% off a $5 sticker)
• Max Discount: $100 (cap the worst-case revenue hit)
• Validity: Start = today, End = 14 days from today
• Total Uses: 500 (cap the campaign size)

Black Friday, scheduled ahead

• Code: BLACKFRIDAY
• Type: Percentage 30%
• Status: Scheduled, with a Start Date on the morning of the sale, because the date is what holds it back
• Validity: Start Date = Nov 27, End Date = Nov 30 (both are whole days on your store clock, so the coupon works from 00:00:00 on Nov 27 until 23:59:59 on Nov 30)
• Max Discount: $100
• Per Customer: 1

Influencer attribution

• Code: INFLUENCER15
• Type: Percentage 15%
• Limits: none. For payout, read the coupon's Used column in the coupons table (click the cell for the usage panel). Store-wide coupon performance sits on the main Dashboard, under the Promotions tab. There is no per-coupon "Performance" tab.
• Distribution: Hand the code to the creator

Fixed-amount high-AOV pull

• Code: SAVE50
• Type: Fixed Amount $50
• Min Order: $200 (encourages bigger carts)
• Per Customer: 2
