Discount codes

With ExpertSender CDP, you can add your own discount codes to incentivize your customers to make purchases on your website. The promo codes can be used in newsletters, scenario email messages, landing pages or even pop-ups.

To access and manage discount codes in ExpertSender platform, go to Customers > Discount codes.

  • Set name,
  • Codes in set – the number of discount codes imported or added manually to the set,
  • Used – the number of discount codes used in e-mail messages,
  • Unused – the number of discount codes remaining in the set,
  • Actions to perform on the set: browse, import codes from a file, add codes manually, edit set’s name, delete set.
