The example demonstrates how you can apply a coupon code to receive free shipping for your [order](https://docs.kentico.com/k9/e-commerce-features/managing-your-store/orders.md). The offer has no time limit, and is available to all your [customers](https://docs.kentico.com/k9/e-commerce-features/managing-your-store/customers.md) whose orders exceed 999.99 USD. It uses a coupon code with an unlimited number of available uses. The coupon code is applied while editing an existing order in the administration interface, and while shopping on the live site.

The example uses the sample _E-commerce Site_.
