Single-Use Promotions

Single-Use Promotions (Promos) allow you to create special offers available for a limited time. This enables you to offer aggressive pricing to attract new customers without worrying about repeat purchases.

Single-Use Promos allow you to:

  • Specify a redemption time frame, determining how long the promo remains active.

  • Restrict the promo to be used only once per site if you operate multiple websites.

  • Limit a promo to one redemption per credit card, email address, username, or combination.

For example: If you opt for the email limitation, consumers can redeem the promo with a specific email address just once. To redeem again, they'd need a different email address.
