How To Redeem Coupon Codes on Etsy

We love having sales in the Etsy shop!  It's great that Etsy gives us the option of deciding how much of a discount to apply to transaction which the customer can utilize for themselves when they're shopping - it means we don't have to manually change the price of every single one of our listings (all 100+ of them) every time we want to have a sale.  But using coupon codes during the checkout procedure can be confusing for customers who've never used them before - so here's our little tutorial on how to redeem coupon codes in any shop!

Firstly, fill your cart with all the items you wish to purchase during that transaction.  You'll be directed to the checkout page every time you add a new item - if you want to buy more than one item in a transaction just click the grey "keep shopping" button on the top right-hand side of the screen and shop until your heart's content.

Once you've added all the items you want to purchase stay on the checkout screen.

Hit "apply coupon code"

See that line of blue text which says "apply shop coupon code"?  Just click on that and a little blank box will open up.  Type in the coupon code provided by the shop owner and hit "Apply".

Type in the coupon code - spelling counts!

If the coupon code is still in effect (and if you've spelled it properly) Etsy will tell you the percentage that you've saved and then break down the exact dollar amount for you.  If you don't see these options then either the coupon code has expired because the sale is over or you've misspelled the code - once you get it right you can hit the green "Check out with Paypal" button and Etsy will walk you through the remainder of the transaction.

That's all there is to it!
