Discounts may be offered to buyers both before and after a purchase is made with the use of coupon codes that can be added to an Etsy shop. Promo codes are a great way to encourage visitors to purchase from your shop and are easy to create on Etsy.

Discount codes on Etsy can reduce the price of an item by a certain dollar amount or a percentage. Customers may get coupons from the merchant or via Etsy in one of their email campaigns. Coupon codes are not required of Etsy merchants but might be useful for some.

The Easiest Way To Create a Discount Code For Etsy

Etsy's "Sales and Discounts" section is accessible via your store dashboard's "Marketing" tab. Select "Create a Promo Code" there, then follow the on-screen instructions to set up your coupon. You may present the voucher to consumers who purchase at your establishment, and they can use it to get a discount.

You can provide a flat discount, a percentage discount, or even free delivery in conjunction with your promotional code. If you have a coupon code for a percentage off, you can choose which listings you want to receive the discount on, but free shipping and flat-dollar-amount discounts apply to the whole store.

The seller can set the minimum quantity of goods or dollar amount an order must include qualifying for the discount. Alternatively, you can choose to have no restrictions, allowing the coupon to be used for any order size.

The Etsy Cancellation Policy for Discount Codes

You'll get a rundown of your current promo codes in the page's footer. To cancel a code, click on it and then on "details." A new tab will load with the coupon's details when you click this. By clicking "deactivate code" on the page's bottom, you may remove the code from your store's database and make it useless to future customers.

Afterward, the code will no longer have an "active" label next to it in the main list, and viewing its details will reveal that it has concluded.

If the promotion is one of Etsy's targeted offers, you can remove the code while still allowing those who have it to redeem it. Codes like "abandoned cart," "returning customer," and "favorite item" all fall under this category.

What Exactly Are Etsy's "Targeted Offers"?

If the Etsy seller has enabled targeted offers, they will be delivered to buyers under specific conditions. There are three types of emails delivered to customers: one when they make a purchase, one after they abandon their basket, and one when they like an item.

Etsy only allows sellers to provide these discounts to consumers if they specifically request them, but sellers are not obligated to do so. This is because of anti-spam rules, which were created so consumers wouldn't be bombarded with unwanted messages from retailers.

Customers sign up to get emails from Etsy, not from individual sellers. Thus Etsy is permitted to send customers emails, but merchants can't offer coupon codes to customers other than in the places that Etsy permits us to.

How To Make a Coupon That Can Only Be Used Once on Etsy

There is no way to restrict the number of times a coupon may be used on Etsy. Sellers should take urgent action to disable used coupons so they can't be used again. Keep in mind that there are programs that can locate coupons on websites, so even if the coupon is intended for a certain client, it might be used by someone else if left in the store.

Once you've posted a discount code on your website, there's no way to fully stop customers from using it. If you add a discount code to your store but don't tell anybody about it, only the intended recipient will use it, and you may remove it from usage once it's been used.

Can Etsy Shoppers Combine Coupon Codes?

Etsy allows customers to use discount coupons during checkout; however, only free shipping discount codes will "stack" with other discount codes. A consumer cannot utilize two different coupons offering the same discount.

If a buyer submits two different discount codes while checking out, the greater of the two will be honored by Etsy's system. You may combine free shipping codes with other discount types at checkout to give your customers the best possible savings.
