Introducing Discounts and coupons 🎟

Everyone loves a good deal. As a seller, you always want to get the best prices from your suppliers and partners. This is the same for your customers so it is important that once in a while, you offer them discounts on some of your products.

Previously on Catlog, you cannot offer discounts to your customers but that has changed with our new Discounts and Coupons feature. Now, you can give certain percentages off the prices of products in your store or create coupons to give to customers and they can apply them at checkout.

Discounts are a great way to keep your customers coming back to buy from your store.

How does it work?

• Discounts: You can set a certain percentage off a single product or more and you can also set the maximum amount you want that to be. For example, you can give a 30% discount and set the maximum amount to be 2000 naira. That is the highest amount that’s going to be applied to any product. So if the 30% is more than 2000 naira, we’ll automatically set it back to 2,000.
• Coupons: You can create special codes and give them to users to apply at checkout. You can encourage people to shop from your Catlog store by giving them coupons that they won’t be able to enjoy if they don’t order from your store. You can set coupons to be calculated by either percentage or a fixed amount.
