We have three options: "percentage discount," "fixed cart discount," and "fixed product discount." In this tutorial, we will select a percentage discount.

Step #7: Click 'Percentage discount'. — Click '**Percentage discount**'.

Let's say we want to offer a 40% discount on all orders in March.

Set the maximum spend allowed for the coupon in the 'Maximum spend' field.

For example, if you set the maximum spend to 10000, orders over $10000 will not be eligible for this coupon.

You can leave these fields blank to have the coupon apply to all amounts.

Step #14: Check the 'Individual use only' box to prevent this coupon from being used with other coupons. — Check the '**Individual use only**' box to prevent this coupon from being used with other coupons.
