In order to auto-generate a coupon code, first add new cart price rule.
To add a new price rule, navigate to Marketing => Cart Price Rules.
Press “Add New Rule”. Select the conditions and actions for the rule. And if you want to auto-generate a coupon, in the section Rule Information, set the following:
Coupon: Specific Coupon.
In Coupon Code put a tick in “Use Auto Generation” box.
But how will your coupon look like and how will it work?
Navigate to Stores => Configuration.
Under Customers section, select Promotion.
Here you can define the following:
- Code Length – defines the number of symbols in your code.
- Code Format – defines the format of your code. It can be Alphanumeric, Alpabetical, Numeric.
- Code Prefix – it’s a code that is added before all coupon codes. This code is not included in the number of symbols in a code. If you don’t want any prefix, leave the field blank.
- Code Suffix – it’s a code that is added after all coupon codes. This code is also not included in the number of symbols in a code. If you leave it blank, there will be no suffix in your coupon codes.
- Dash Every X Characters – if you want your coupon code to look like this: abc – def – ghi, then select “3” here. A dash will be added after every 3 caracters.
Press “Save”.
How to generate a coupon code?
