Before we dive into setup, let’s talk about what promos you can offer.

What kinds ?


Instant Rebates

Instant Rebates – These are discounts reimbursed by the manufacturer. They’re automatically applied at checkout, and sales tax is based on the original price.

Retailer Coupons

Retailer Coupons – These are promo codes you provide, usually retailer-funded. The discount is applied when the customer enters the code, and sales tax is calculated after the discount. Both help drive sales — and setting them up is super simple.

Under the Basic Settings section, click on Promos.
