Discounts

Coupon codes and discounts that apply on their own.

The Discounts page has two tabs: Coupons for codes customers enter at checkout, and Automatic for discounts that apply when certain conditions are met.

Coupon codes

  1. Go to Discounts in your dashboard
  2. On the Coupons tab, click New coupon
  3. Configure the coupon:
    • Code, what customers type at checkout
    • Type, percentage off, fixed amount, or free shipping
    • Value, the discount amount or percentage
    • Applies to, all products or specific products
    • Who can use this, everyone or members of a specific Ghost tier (see below)
    • Minimum order (optional), the minimum cart value required
    • Usage limit (optional), the maximum number of times it can be used
    • Expiry date (optional), when the code stops working

Coupon types

  • Percentage off, reduces the total by a percentage (e.g. 10% off)
  • Fixed amount, subtracts a flat amount from the total (e.g. $5 off)
  • Free shipping, removes the shipping cost entirely

Customers enter coupon codes in the cart before heading to checkout.

Members-only coupons

If you run Ghost memberships, you can lock a coupon to a specific tier so only members on that tier can use it. Public codes still work for everyone; this just adds a members-only option alongside them.

  1. Connect Ghost and sync your tiers first (Settings → Integrations)
  2. Create or edit a coupon and set Who can use this to Members only
  3. Pick the Eligible tier, so the code works only for members on that exact tier, or choose Any member for all signed-in members
  4. Optionally set Uses per member to cap how many times each member can redeem it
  5. Re-publish your Storefront so the cart can read member sessions

At checkout, when a customer is signed in to your Ghost site, Mytho verifies their membership automatically. If they're on the right tier the discount applies; if not, the code just doesn't work for them. There's no second login, it uses their existing Ghost member session.

Members need to be signed in to your Ghost site for a members-only code to apply. The check uses their Ghost member session, so nobody can fake their way onto a tier.

Automatic discounts

Automatic discounts apply without a coupon code. Customers see the discount in their cart as soon as the conditions are met. Create them as rules on the Automatic tab.

Free shipping threshold

Nudge orders a little higher by offering free shipping above a set amount.

  1. Go to Discounts → Automatic tab
  2. Click New rule
  3. Set the type to Free shipping and enter the minimum order amount
  4. Save the rule

A progress bar in the cart shows customers how close they are to qualifying for free shipping.

Share coupon codes in your Ghost newsletters. Create a coupon for subscribers and drop it into a Ghost email. It's a good way to reward your audience.
