Coupons

Overview

Importantly, Discount Coupons for issue to Customers / Buyers can be added by both SCOTSY Admin and by you as an Artist Vendor.

Admin Coupons are global. They are site-wide cart discounts whereas Artist Coupons apply to the individual Artist's artwork product(s) only.

Admin Coupon Examples

1. 10% discount on your first order for signing up for the SCOTSY newsletter.
2. Black Friday sale discount across the site.

Admin Coupon Notes

• Admin sitewide discounts will be limited to a maximum of 15% (Normally, 10% maximum) and is covered in our Artist Terms and Conditions here. Thus, the admin selling price discount needs to be agreeable to you as part of Artist T & C's approval. Moreover, we will ensure Admin Coupons will only apply for a limited time period and only from time to time.
  
• If an Artist discount coupon is in place, a SCOTSY Admin discount could not be applied to said Artist Discount item. 
  
  (Admin Coupons are set so that they cannot be used in conjunction with other coupons). Also,
  (Admin Coupons are set to exclude any Sale items if they apply).
  
  
• If an Artist has an item 'On Sale', a SCOTSY Admin discount coupon could not be applied to said Artist Sale item either.
  
  

Artist Vendor Coupons Configuration

Vendors can specifically create coupons for their store, only if their subscription plan covers it.

(The BASIC Plan does not cover this feature and if you require it, you need to upgrade to a paid plan). 

Artist Vendor s can add their coupons here:
