Creating your first Discount

In this guide we're going to walk through setting up a discount that gives 10% off a users basket when they spend 30 GBP.

Firstly you need to create a project in the portal. If you haven't done this yet see Account Setup for details of how to do this.

When you first log into the management tooling you will see an empty discounts page:
