Discount codes

Discount codes let customers save money at checkout. Manage them under RestroPress › Discount Codes. The list shows each code's name, code, amount, uses, start date, expiration and status, with filters for All, Active and Inactive.

2. Fill in the fields below, then click Add Discount Code.

Type	Percentage or Flat amount.
Amount	The discount: a percentage (10 means 10%) or an amount in your currency.
Menu Item Requirements	Choose the menu items the discount applies to, and whether the cart must contain all of them or only one or more of them. Leave blank to allow any item.
Excluded Menu Items	Items the code cannot be applied to.
