The Kentico E-commerce Solution allows you to boost your sales with discounts on orders, order shipping, and Buy X Get Y discounts. Optionally, you can configure the system to apply these discounts only if the codes of corresponding discount coupons are entered correctly. If you distribute the coupons, i.e. virtual vouchers, among your customers, they can use the coupons' codes during the checkout process to receive free shipping and discounts on their orders.
The Coupons tab is available for a discount only if the corresponding property in its Coupons section in General tab is enabled.
