DiscountCode

Version 2019-10

You can use the PriceRule DiscountCode resource to create discount codes that enable specific discounts to be redeemed. Merchants can distribute discount codes to their customers using a variety of means, such as an email or URL, and customers can apply these codes at checkout.

Each discount code belongs to a price rule, which holds the logic for the discount. For more information, see the PriceRule resource.

To create multiple discount codes that use the same price rule logic, use the batch endpoint. For example, you might allow merchants to create a batch of discount codes that belong to the same price rule but are each personalized for a different customer.

Version 2020-07

You can use the PriceRule DiscountCode resource to create discount codes that enable specific discounts to be redeemed. Merchants can distribute discount codes to their customers using a variety of means, such as an email or URL, and customers can apply these codes at checkout.

Each discount code belongs to a price rule, which holds the logic for the discount. For more information, see the PriceRule resource.

To create multiple discount codes that use the same price rule logic, use the batch endpoint. For example, you might allow merchants to create a batch of discount codes that belong to the same price rule but are each personalized for a different customer.

You can use the PriceRule DiscountCode resource to create discount codes that enable specific discounts to be redeemed. Merchants can distribute discount codes to their customers using a variety of means, such as an email or URL, and customers can apply these codes at checkout.

Each discount code belongs to a price rule, which holds the logic for the discount. For more information, see the PriceRule resource.

To create multiple discount codes that use the same price rule logic, use the batch endpoint. For example, you might allow merchants to create a batch of discount codes that belong to the same price rule but are each personalized for a different customer.

    • queued: The job is acknowledged, but not started.
    • running: The job is in process.
    • completed: The job has finished.
  • codes_count: The number of discount codes to create.
  • imported_count: The number of discount codes created successfully.
  • failed_count: The number of discount codes that were not created successfully. Unsuccessful attempts will retry up to three times.
  • logs: A report that specifies when no discount codes were created because the provided data was invalid. Example responses:
    • "Price rule target selection can't be blank"
    • "Price rule allocation method can't be blank"
