How do I create a promo code?

Promotional codes, also known as discount codes, are a fantastic way to incentivize and reward your fans. With your Fourthwall shop, you can get creative and offer various types of promotions that make fans feel appreciated and keep them coming back for more.

Here are a few ways you can combine promotional discounts to make your offers even more exciting:

  • Add Free Shipping to a Site-Wide Discount: Give your fans double the perks by combining a percentage discount (like 20% off) with free shipping on all items in your shop.

  • Offer Free Shipping on Specific Products: You can choose to make certain products eligible for free shipping. Just note that this applies only when all items in a fan’s cart are eligible for the free shipping offer.

  • Target a Specific Country (or Countries): Create a promotion exclusively for fans in particular locations, which can help you focus on specific regions or celebrate local events.

Let’s dig a bit more into how to create promo codes and the various settings at your disposal. 

Creating a promo code

1. To create a promo or discount code, go to your Fourthwall dashboard and click on the "Promotions" tab.

2. Then click "Create Promotion->Shop Promo" as shown in thee image below.

3. Once in the create promotion screens, there are various sections that you will need to consider. 

Promotion type

Here you can select if you want to use a specific code or word for your promo, if you want to create multiple codes, or if you want the code to be auto-applied during checkout. 

Discount

In this section, you will be able to define the actual discount amount. You can select between the discount being a percentage off, a fixed amount, or free shipping. If you select a percentage off or a fixed amount, you can select how to manage shipping in those cases. 

Applies to

Next, you need to decide if your discount should apply to the entire order or only for specific products. If you want to do specific products, you will be able to select which ones in this section. 

Note: When doing free shipping promotions for selected products, all items in the customer’s cart must be included in the promotion for the promotion to apply. If one item in the cart is not eligible for free shipping, the promotion will not be activated. This rule is specific to the free shipping offer and does not impact other types of promotions.

Requirements (optional)

When setting up your membership promotion, you can define specific requirements to ensure it targets the right audience. Here’s what you can customize:

  • Minimum Order Value: Set a minimum purchase amount for the promotion to be applied.
  • Selected Countries Only: Limit the promotion to specific regions or countries.
  • Members Only: Restrict the promotion to your subscribed members, ensuring exclusive access to benefits.

Number of uses (optional)

Specify how many times a code can be redeemed. If you’ve created multiple codes, this limit will apply per code. Leave blank for unlimited uses. 

Review and Save

After choosing your options, click Save. You’ll be asked if you want to allow promotions that could result in a negative profit. Select Yes if you’re ready to enter a payment method, or No if you’d prefer to keep the promo within your balance limits. 

And there you have it! With Fourthwall’s easy-to-use settings, you’re all set to create personalized promotions that will keep your fans engaged and excited.
