How to Auto-Apply Promo Codes on the Merchant Portal

Normally, customers must enter a promo code during checkout to receive a discount, but now with the auto-apply feature, eligible promotions are now applied automatically when the order meets the configured conditions, removing the need for manual code entry and creating a smoother checkout experience.
Warning
This feature is not supported on the Self-Service Kiosk [Samsung Kiosk] as well as the POS
Info
Use Case Scenario
ABC Hospital uses online ordering to serve different user groups and wants to provide specific discounts based on customer eligibility. For example, one discount may be automatically applied to users who register with an approved company or organization email domain [@abc.com]. 

Previously, eligible customers would need to manually enter a promo code at checkout, which could result in missed discounts or confusion. With this feature, the system automatically applies the correct discount when the user qualifies, reducing manual steps and creating a smoother ordering experience.

How to Auto-Apply Promotions?

Step 1
Login to "Applova Merchant Portal".

Step 2
Navigate to the "Settings" tab and then proceed to the "Plugins" section.

Step 3
Click on the "Promo Codes" plugin, and you'll be led to a new page called "Manage Promo Codes" 

Step 4
Create a new promo code or select an existing one to edit.

Step 5
In the promo code window, click on the Advanced tab and toggle “Auto-Apply on Checkout” ON.
Notes
When using this feature, it’s recommended to pair it with either the “Limit Promo Code by Email Domain” feature [article link], so only customers with a specific email (e.g., your company or organization domain) can use the promo code, or the “Limit Promo Code to Specific Customers” feature [article link], which lets only a selected list of customers use the promo code.


Step 6
Click on "Submit" to save the promo code configuration.
