Promotions
Reward fans and increase product sales by running a promotion. You can instantly create different types of promo codes and offer discounts for a limited time all within your Spring dashboard.
Preparing a promo code
Go to the Dashboard, Tools, and services, and then select the “Promotions” section.
- Name your promo code and select your promotion type (i.e. free shipping, a specific amount such as $5, or a percentage amount like 15%).
- Set the expiration date or leave it as ‘never’ so the promotion is always available until you switch it off. You can make the discount active or disable it by switching the status to on or off.
- When someone uses your promo code you’ll be able to see it within your listing’s analytics. The discount amount applied to the order will also be visible under ‘Costs’.
- If a promo code is not working, it’s likely because the product in the cart does not have enough profit margin for the discount to be applied—you can update the product’s price within the listings section of your account.
Ensure all your products have enough profit margin to support the discount you create. If your fans apply your promo code at checkout and it fails, this likely means one of your products doesn’t have enough profit margin to support the discount. You can edit your product pricing by heading to theListingssection of the dashboard.
