# How do I create a discount code?

> Build a promo code end to end with the two-step discount wizard.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * Creation opens on a **Type** step — pick **Promo code** for a code customers enter, or an automatic type (staff, member, family, sale, **Buy X, get Y**, and more) that applies with no code.
  * For a promo code, the code is auto-uppercased as you type and must be unique within your club. A live check flags one that's already in use before you can save.
  * **Save as Draft** to keep editing, or publish. Publishing with a future **Valid from** date makes the discount **Scheduled** until that day. **Copy from Existing** prefills everything except the name and code.
</Note>

Discount codes are promo codes your families type in at checkout. Create one under **Settings > Financial Setup > Discounts**.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the wizard">
    On the **Discounts** page, click **Create discount**. Creation walks three steps: **Type**, **General**, and **Pricing**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a discount type">
    On the **Type** step, pick a starting point from the gallery. **Promo code** is a code customers enter at checkout; the other types preset the rest of the wizard for you — an automatic sale, a staff or member price, a family/sibling or multi-class rule, a new-customer welcome, or a **Buy X, get Y** offer. Automatic types apply with no code, so the **Code** field drops off the next step. You can fine-tune every field afterward.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the General step">
    Enter a **Campaign name** (for your own reference) and, for a promo code, a **Code**. Set **Valid from** and, optionally, **Valid to**. Choose the **Scope** — which product types the discount applies to — and optionally narrow it to specific items.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the Pricing step">
    Click **Next**, then choose a percentage or fixed-dollar value and enter the amount. Optionally add usage limits, a minimum purchase amount, and a max discount cap.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save it">
    Click **Save as Draft** to keep working, or **Create Discount** to publish. When you publish a promo code, its code is copied to your clipboard so you can share it right away.
  </Step>
</Steps>
