You can issue discount codes (vouchers) for the products you sell through Tentary.
These individual vouchers allow customers to receive a discount on your products. The discount can either be a percentage, for example 10 percent, or an absolute amount, such as $7.50, in the currency of your shop. In addition, vouchers can be valid for all your products or only for a specific selection.
When a voucher is applied, the correct sales tax is automatically calculated as usual and the discounted amount appears on your invoices. In your sales and purchase notifications, you will find a note indicating whether and which voucher was used.

Create discount codes
To create a coupon, go to the Discounts menu item and then click on the + New Code button.
You can specify the following settings for your voucher:
- Code: The actual discount code that customers must enter; you can specify a code yourself, for example SALE2025, or generate a code using the icon next to the text field.
- Discount and type: Specify the amount and type of discount here. Here you can choose between an absolute discount, such as $7.50, or a percentage, such as 25%.
- Discount code applicable to: Select here whether the discount code applies to all products or only to one or more specific products. If the latter is the case, check the box next to the desired product or products.
- Limit how often the discount code can be activated: If you activate this option and specify a number, you determine how often the code can be redeemed in total.
Note: There is no limit to how often a customer can redeem the same discount code. - Limit the validity period for the discount code: If you want the discount code to be valid for a specific period only, select the dates you want.
Once you have made all the settings, you can save and use your voucher.
Redeem discount codes
Your customers can easily redeem their vouchers on the payment page for your products. Below the amount to be paid, you will find the Add discount button. Clicking on it will display a text field where the discount code can be entered and activated by clicking on Check. Activated discount codes will be displayed in the order summary. The discount will be applied automatically, and the amount payable will be adjusted accordingly.
If the total amount to be paid drops to 0 due to a discount, the payment options will be hidden and the purchase can be completed without entering payment details. If the calculated total amount is between 0 and 0.99, the amount to be paid will be rounded to 1. The reason for this is the minimum amount for payments.
Add discount codes directly via URL
Another way to use discount codes is to include them directly via a URL parameter. This allows you to share links where the discount code is automatically applied when someone uses the link.
To do this, simply add ?coupon=YOURDISCOUNTCODE at the end of the URL of the sales or payment page.
For example, if you have a discount code like NEWCUSTOMER2024 , the shared link could look like this: https://yourshop.tentary.com/p/ABCDEF?coupon=NEWCUSTOMER2024 . Customers who use this link will automatically receive the corresponding discount.
This method is ideal for spreading your discount promotions on social media, emails, or other marketing channels.
