      How to set up store credits

      You can now issue store credit codes. These allow your customers to make MicroStore purchases and redeem credits as payment.

      Store credits can be used against the full total of a cart or as part payment.

      Simply generate the store credit coupon code and send it to your customer as you would a discount code.  Store credits can also be combined with other coupons and discount codes.

      💡 Check out our Knowledge Base article on setting up coupon codes before creating store credits to help familiarize you with the process.

      What customers see: Applying store credit.

      When customers receive a store credit code, they can apply it at checkout to redeem its value against their purchases.

      Customers can add products to their cart as normal. At checkout, they simply need to apply the code to the ‘Coupon/store credit’ field and click 'Apply.'
