Public Coupons at Checkout

Written by Dazza

What is a public coupon?

Most coupons are private — customers need a code to redeem them. A public coupon is different: it appears automatically at checkout for every customer, with the discount applied with one tap. It's a great way to run a clearly visible promotion like Free delivery on orders over $40.

What customers see

At the coupon step of checkout, public coupons appear in a list with a name, a short description, and an Apply button. Customers don't need to know or remember a code. Only one coupon can be applied at a time, so customers pick the offer that suits them best.

How to make a coupon public

  1. Open the dashboard and go to Coupons.

  2. Create a new coupon or open an existing one.

  3. Set the discount, conditions, and expiry as usual.

  4. Toggle Show on storefront on.

  5. Save.

When to use public coupons

  • Headline offers you want every visitor to see, like $5 off your first order.

  • Limited-time promotions that need to drive volume.

  • Free delivery thresholds presented as a visible offer.

Tips

  • Don't make every coupon public. Keep your strongest offers private for marketing campaigns.

  • Make sure your usage limits are set — public coupons can drive a lot of redemptions quickly.

  • Use a clear, short name. Free delivery $40+ works better than DEL40FREE.
