Discount Codes
With Discount Codes it is possible to give specific Cart Discounts to eligible customers. They are defined by a string value which can be added to a Cart so that specific Cart Discounts can be applied to the cart.
A DiscountCode can apply up to 10 CartDiscounts.
For an introduction to Discount Codes and to understand how they work in Composable Commerce, see the Discount Codes overview.
