How customers use a coupon
Section titled “How customers use a coupon”At checkout, the customer opens Have a coupon code? in the order summary and enters the code — one code per order. The discount shows as its own line and never exceeds the price of the products it applies to. If the order is cancelled or refused, the use goes back to the coupon.
A coupon shows as Running, Scheduled, Expired, Fully claimed or Stopped. A coupon that has been used can only be stopped, not deleted, because your orders and reports rely on it.
Slider banners
Section titled “Slider banners”Banners are large slides at the top of your home page. Each has a title, an image, an optional separate image for phones, a headline, a subtitle and a button label. When clicked, a banner can open a product, a category, a store page, a content page or another address.
News bar
Section titled “News bar”The news bar runs across the top of every page, above your header. Each message can carry a badge — New, Offer, Sale or Important — and link somewhere when clicked. Choose how the bar moves (scrolling, swapping or still), its speed, how many messages show at once, and whether it pauses when a visitor points at it. Shoppers can close it for their visit.
Trust badges and analytics
Section titled “Trust badges and analytics”Trust badges — such as Cash on delivery, Easy returns and No prepayment — appear under the buy button on product pages. Set them under Settings.
Add your Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager ID under Settings → Analytics. They start collecting only after a shopper accepts the analytics banner, and they record page views.
