Coupons
Coupons defines the discount codes customers can redeem against an invoice. Each carries a code, a discount and an expiry, so a promotion runs on rules the system enforces rather than on whatever the person at the counter remembers.
Where to find it
Go to Sales > Settings > Coupons.

Redeeming a coupon
Apply Coupon against an invoice checks the code and the invoice together. An invalid pairing is refused as Invalid coupon and Invoice no, an unknown code as Sorry Coupon invalid, and an invoice already redeemed against is refused outright.
Set a minimum purchase on percentage coupons. A percentage discount with no floor is worth most to the customer who spends least, which is rarely the promotion anyone intended to run.
