How to set up discount coupons in AbanteCart

Discount coupons offer a great incentive for customers to buy more from your AbanteCart store, or to try you out for the first time.

In the administration dashboard, navigate to Sales > Coupons to review the default coupons available and add your own.

Coupon list

Once you’ve built up a long list of coupons, you can use the Status dropdown menu and Coupon Name/Code filters to locate a specific coupon or group of coupons.

Filters

You can also enable or disable coupons via the Status button and manage your coupons using the icons to the right of each listing.
