Discount Codes

In Payrexx, you have the option to add a discount code to payment pages, allowing you to offer a price reduction to your customers.

This feature is available for all payment pages (Payrexx Pages) with a predefined amount. In this article, you will learn everything you need to know about handling discount codes.

Creating a Discount Code

Log in to Payrexx

To create a discount code, log in to your Payrexx account and navigate to Pages > Discount codes.

The menu item "Discount codes"

Adding a discount code

If you have already created discount codes, they will be displayed here. To create a new discount code, click the green "Add" button.

Discount codes that have already been created are visible here.

If you haven't created any discount codes yet, you can create your first discount code by clicking the grey "Add" button:

Adding a discount code in the Payrexx backend

Adjusting a discount code

In the next step, you can choose which shop page the discount code will apply to and whether the discount will be a fixed amount or a percentage reduction.

Defining the payment page on which the discount code is valid

You can also set the expiration date for the discount code and specify the total number of times it can be used.

Please note that it is not possible to offer a 100% discount.

Where can customers enter the discount code?

The discount code will be available on the sales page you selected in the previous step. Your customers can click on "Do you have a discount code?" and then enter the code.

Once the customer has entered the correct discount code and clicked "Apply," the purchase price will be adjusted accordingly.

Importing Discount Codes from a File

In addition to manually entering discount codes, Payrexx also allows you to import a large number of discount codes at once from a file. To do this, please follow the instructions below.

Creating the import file

Before creating the file that contains all the discount codes to be imported, ensure that it is a spreadsheet – either in CSV or XLS(X) format.

Then, create the discount code spreadsheet with the following columns. For better understanding, the table below includes five examples:

Discount code	Type	Amount	Currency	Quantity	Valid until
xHze6a9	price-amount	10	CHF	50	31.12.2024
Zf2mf2p	price-amount	20	CHF	50	31.12.2024
W3n6Zlf	price-amount	5	CHF	1	30.06.2025
r6gS9uu	percentage	10		20	31.12.2025
7tAnu7h	percentage	30		1	31.12.2025

The "price-amount" type creates a discount code with a fixed discount amount (e.g., 10.00 CHF). If you choose the "percentage" type, a percentage discount (e.g., 10%) will be applied.

The columns "Quantity" and "Valid until" are optional. All other columns are mandatory.

Importing discount codes

Please note that at least one page must exist in order to import discount codes from a file. To start the import, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Pages > Overview in the Payrexx backend.

2. Select the desired page.

3. Hover over the row and click the upload icon:

4. In the next window, click on "Select File" and then click "Go to the next step".

5. In the next window, map the columns from the CSV or XLS(X) file to the corresponding fields in Payrexx. Then click "Go to the next step".

The imported discount codes are now visible under Pages > Discount Codes.
