## How to create a promo code

<Steps>
  <Step title="Access your dashboard" titleSize="h3">
    Head over to your **Dashboard.**

    <Tip>
      Make sure you're viewing the whop you want to create a discount for (using the whop selection modal at the top left).
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Navigate to Promo codes" titleSize="h3">
    Click the **Marketing** dropdown and select **Promo codes**. You'll see any existing promo codes you've already created for your whop here.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a new code" titleSize="h3">
    If this is your first promo code, click **+ Create Promo Code** in the center of your page. If you've already created a promo code (and you want to create a new one) click **+ Create promo code** at the top right of your screen. A popup will appear where you'll set up your code.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up your promo code" titleSize="h3">
    Configure the settings for your promo code:

    1. **Code**: This is the actual promo code name, like "SAVE20" or "WELCOME10." Type what you want your code to be called.
    2. **Discount**: Decide how much your discount will be
       * Use the dropdown to pick either a **Percentage** (like 10% off) or a **Fixed amount** (like \$10 off).
       * Then, enter the discount value in the field above the dropdown.
    3. **Discount duration:** Decide how long the discount applies
       * **One-time (default)**: The discount is applied only once.
       * **Forever**: The discount applies to all future payments.
       * **Multiple months**: The discount applies for a specific number of months (a field will pop up for you to enter the number).
    4. **Eligible users**: Who can use this code?
       * **Everyone (default)**: Anyone can use it.
       * **Only new**: Only new customers can use this code.
       * **Only churned**: Only previous customers who have left can use it.
    5. **Expires**: Set when the promo code expires using the date and time selector. This is enabled by default and set to one month from creation.
    6. **Usage limit section**: Enter the maximum number of times this code can be used. Default is set to 100 uses.
    7. **One per customer**: If you enable this, each customer can only use the promo code once. This is enabled by default.
    8. **Apply to specific whops**: This is off by default. If you turn it on, you can limit the promo code to certain checkout links within your organization.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Activate your code" titleSize="h3">
    Click **Create** at the bottom of the popup to make your promo code live.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Manually expire a promo code

If you need to deactivate a promo code before its set expiration date, you can manually expire it.

1. **Access the promo code options**: Click the three dots (︙) next to the promo code you want to expire.
2. **Click Expire**: Select **Expire** from the dropdown menu that appears.
3. **Confirm expiration**: A confirmation message will pop up. Click **Expire** to permanently deactivate the promo code.

<Warning>
  When a promo code is expired, you can't reactivate it. If you want to offer
  that same discount again, you'll need to create a brand new promo code.
