Coupon Codes help buyers at your store to avail discounted prices. It also helps you retain customers, and they inevitably come back to your store again. You can create single or bulk Coupon Codes for a particular customer/product, group, or anyone depending on the purpose, need, or campaign.

Coupons can be sent via email or included in newsletters, catalogs, or advertisements, such as banners and images on the front page of the store. You can also produce printed material or create an in-store coupon for mobile users using a QR-code, etc.

To use a coupon code, the customers will input it in the cart during checkout, and the discount value will be applied immediately. Magento 2 also supports a coupon code feature. Magento 2 has Cart Price Rules which help you run a promotion on your store and offer discounts to the customers using a coupon code.
