A promotion applies to the cart on its own. A promo code works differently: your customer types it in when ordering. That's what makes it the perfect campaign tool: a flyer, a post on social media, an email, and the discount travels with the code.
On the Promo Codes page, you create each code in a few clicks: the code text, the discount, the restrictions, and whether to show it in your customers' accounts or keep it secret. The list then shows you each code's usage in real time.
The video below shows you everything, step by step:
