This topic describes how to create a Voucher.
To start working with discounts, navigate to the Merchandising > Discounts section.
Vouchers are codes that customers can redeem during checkout. Voucher codes are grouped into pools to apply logic to multiple vouchers at once. You can generate a single voucher to be used by multiple customers or a pool of dedicated one-time per-customer voucher codes.
To create a discount voucher:
- On the Discount page, click Create new discount in the top-right corner.
- On the Create Discount page > General tab, do the following:
- In Store relation, check the stores you wish the discount to be active in.
- In Discount Type drop-down, select Voucher codes.
- In the Name field, specify the name for the voucher.
- Optional: Enter the description for the voucher in the Description field.
- Specify if the voucher is exclusive. See Discount: Reference Information for more details.
- Specify the validity interval (lifetime) of the voucher.
- Click Next or select the Discount calculation tab to proceed.
- On the Create Discount page >Discount calculation tab, do the following:
- Select either Calculator percentage, or Calculator fixed in the Calculator type drop-down. See Discount Calculation: Reference Information for more details.

The next step varies based on the selected calculator type.
a. **Calculator fixed**: Enter the prices to be discounted
b. **Calculator percentage**: Enter the values (percentage) to be discounted
2. Select the **Discount application type** and define what products the voucher will be applied to.

2. Enter the value for **The discount can be applied if the query applies for at least X item(s).** field.

2. _Optional_: Enter a **Custom code**.
3. Set the **Add Random Generated Code Length** by selecting the value from a drop-down list.
4. Set the **Maximum number** of uses.
5. Click **Generate** to complete the process.
The voucher codes will be generated according to your specifications. The codes will be displayed in the table at the bottom of the page.
