When creating a standard or single-use coupon offer, you can choose to include or exclude specific store items from the coupon offer, or to have the coupon apply to all items in your store. You may also choose to include or exclude entire item categories.
Choosing to include selected items only is recommended if you'd like a coupon offer to apply to one or several items in your store, or less than the number of items you wish to exclude from the offer.
Choosing to exclude selected items is recommended if you'd like to exclude one or several store items from your coupon offer, or less than the number of items you wish to include in the offer.
By choosing the default option, Include all items, the coupon you create will apply to all items in your store.
Including or excluding individual items
After choosing to include or exclude selected items from a coupon offer, you may enter item codes (separated by commas) into the field provided, or select target items using the Target Items selector,
Example:
mystoreitem1,mystoreitem2,mystoreitem5,mystoreitem7
The Target Items selector may only be used to select items for stores that carry up to a maximum of 10,000 items. If your store carries more than 10,000 items, you must enter item codes into the field provided.
Including or excluding all items in a category
The Target Items selector may also be used to include or exclude all items in a category from your coupon offer, without having to select each item individually.

- Using the Target Items selector, enable the checkbox beside the category you wish to select. All items belonging to the category will automatically be selected.
- If you wish to verify that all items have been selected, expand the category using the + toggle. Checkboxes beside each item should also be enabled.
- To deselect specific items in a category, you must expand the category list and disable the checkbox beside the item you wish to exclude.
- When you've finished choosing items to include in or exclude from a coupon offer, click the "Done" button and continue creating the coupon.
Note: Category-level inclusions and exclusions only apply t o items in the category at the time the coupon was created and inclusions or exclusions made.
