So let’s get right into it! First, open the Coupon X app in your admin panel and click on the ”Edit” option next to your widget. 

Click on ”Widget design” in the page that will open.

In the page that will open up, scroll down and look for the ”Update coupon” button and select the type of coupon you want to add.

Existing Coupon

If you click on ”Existing coupon”, you’ll see a popup with your currently existing Shopify discount codes with their type (fixed amount or percentage) and value.

You simply need to select one of them or create a new discount code in the ”Discounts” page in your Shopify admin panel and don’t forget to hit ”Save”. You can find more detailed instructions on how to create and manage your Shopify discount codes here: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/discounts/create-discount-codes
