Types
Money off the order, or free delivery.

Discount codes
Run a sale
that still pays.
Percentage or money off the order, or free delivery. Every discount code can carry a minimum spend and a limit on the uses, and a percentage code can carry a cap, so 20% off never turns into £200 off.

- Money off or free delivery
- Cap the value and the uses
- Start and end dates
- On every plan
Which offer fits the job?
Best for sales events, where the saving grows with the basket. Pair it with a maximum discount amount, so the saving stops at the cap.
Every rule on one form
Value, minimum, limits and dates
Protect the margin
Generous on £40, sane on £400.
Every rule lives on the discount form in plain words: the value, the minimum, the limits, who can use it and the dates.
Cap the discount
Put a ceiling on a percentage offer: 20% off, up to £30. The big basket still gets a discount, not a giveaway.
Ask for a minimum
Set a minimum purchase amount and the code only works once the basket reaches it. Delivery does not count towards it.
Limit the uses
A total cap, one use per customer account, or both. The count holds even when two orders land at once, and at the limit the code stops working at checkout.
Choose who can use it
Everyone, or only the customers you pick, so a trade code stays with trade customers. A restricted code needs the shopper signed in.
Free delivery codes
Over a spend you set, prices untouched
Free delivery
Make delivery the deal.
A Free shipping code takes the delivery charge off the order and leaves your prices alone. Set the spend it needs and the days it runs.
Prices stay put
Nothing comes off the products. The code takes the delivery charge off the order instead.
Over a spend you set
Add a minimum purchase amount, such as £50, and smaller baskets pay for delivery as usual.
The whole order
Delivery is free on the entire order, whatever is in the basket.
Only on the days you pick
Give it a start date and an end date, and it runs on those whole days, on the UTC clock.
Runs without you
The jobs you stop doing at midnight.
Six jobs you no longer do by hand, from making up the code to switching it off.
Switching codes on
Set a start date and the code only works from then. Queue the Black Friday code a week early and get your evening back.
Switching them off
Past its end date a code is refused at checkout, and within five minutes it is marked Expired in your list.
Counting uses
Every use counts against the limit, even when two orders land in the same second.
Stopping repeat use
Limit a code to one use per customer account and the second attempt is refused.
Making up codes
Generate code gives you a random eight-character one. Or type your own, up to 50 characters.
Writing the first draft
Tell Nebula the offer and it opens the right form and fills it in for you to check and save.
