Discount codes

A code your customers type, a link that fills it in

Create a discount code in a minute, share it in a post or a newsletter, and the discount comes off at checkout. The receipt, the VAT and your reports show what the customer actually paid, so nothing needs sorting out afterwards.

Why discount codes?

For creators and small shops that bring their own audience: a code is the simplest campaign there is.

Made for a post or a newsletter

A code fits in an Instagram caption or an email. The link version fills the code in for the customer, so nobody has to remember it.

The numbers stay right

The discount is spread across the products in proportion to price, never on shipping. The receipt, the VAT breakdown and the bookkeeping report show the price the customer paid.

Nothing changes until you make one

A store without codes looks exactly like before. The field only appears at checkout once you have a code, and it stays out of the way until the customer clicks it.

How it works

Everything happens on the new Discount codes page in your dashboard. Four small steps.

1

Create the code

Choose the text or let Svippit suggest one, then pick a percentage from 1 to 99 or a fixed amount. The code can apply to the whole store or only to the products you tick.

2

Set a limit if you want one

An end date, a maximum number of uses, or neither. The status updates itself: active, expired, used up, or deactivated when you switch it off.

3

Share the code or the link

Copy the store link with the code in it and the customer arrives with it already applied. On a product page you can add ?kode=YOURCODE to any link you share.

4

The customer pays the reduced amount

At checkout the customer types the code, or finds it filled in, and sees the discount as one line before paying with Vipps MobilePay. You see how many times each code was used.

Good to know

Products only, never shipping

The discount comes off the goods. Shipping is added afterwards, at the same price as always.

One code per purchase

Codes do not stack. If the customer enters a second code, it replaces the first.

Never down to zero

A percentage can be at most 99, and a fixed amount never brings an order below one krone: a free order has no payment to attach to.

Advertising a code openly

If you announce a code publicly, such as "20% off everything", the rules for sales marketing apply: for physical goods you must state the reference price, the lowest price of the last 30 days. Svippit reminds you where you create the code.

Sales with a reference price

Lower the price of a product for a while. Customers see the sale price, the reference price struck through and when the sale ends, and checkout charges the sale price on its own.

Svippit works out the reference price

The law says the reference price is the lowest price you used in the 30 days before the sale. Svippit logs every price change and works it out for you, including when an earlier sale falls inside those 30 days.

Less than 30 days of history

Price history started on 30 September 2026. Until it covers 30 days, you enter the lowest price yourself and confirm it with a tick. If we saw a lower price, we use that.

Always with an end date

A sale is temporary. You choose the first and last day, the sale starts and ends on its own at midnight, and you can end or extend it whenever you like.

Works with discount codes and packages

A discount code takes its discount off the sale price. A package can have its own sale, and the receipt, the VAT and the reports show the price the customer actually paid.

Add-on offers: buy this, get that cheaper

Set up an offer on the product that sells, and customers get another product at a lower price when both are in the cart.

Set up where you think of it

On the product that triggers the offer: "When a customer buys this, offer X at Y". Up to three offers per product.

Customers see it in the cart

A small card in the cart and "Buy together with" on the product page. One tap adds it at the add-on price.

One discounted unit per purchase

A customer who buys two of the product can get two of the add-on cheaper. Any more are at the regular price.

The receipt explains the price

The add-on is its own line with "Add-on price with …", and VAT and reports show what the customer paid.

Frequently asked questions

Can a discount code be used on an add-on offer?⌄
No. The add-on price is already a discount, so the code only comes off the other items. If the product is on sale below the add-on price, the customer pays the lower one.
Why can I not choose the reference price myself?⌄
Because Norwegian price-marking rules say what it must be: the lowest price you used in the 30 days before the sale. Svippit works it out from the price history, so the figure on the page always matches the law.
What happens when a sale ends?⌄
At midnight on the last day the price returns to the regular one, without you doing anything. The sale stays in the history and counts when the reference price of the next sale is worked out.
What happens when a code expires or is used up?⌄
It simply stops working. A customer who tries it sees one sentence saying the code has expired or has been used up, and can continue without it. The code stays in your list with its status until you delete it.
Can I limit a code to certain products?⌄
Yes. Choose "Only selected products" when you create the code and tick the products. A package counts as one product: a code on the package discounts the whole package.
What does the customer see on the receipt?⌄
The ordinary price of each product, one line with the code and the amount taken off, shipping, and the VAT per rate on what was actually paid. The same appears in the Vipps app and in your bookkeeping report.
How is VAT handled?⌄
The discount is split across the products in proportion to their price, and each share is taxed at that product's rate. Your bookkeeping report shows the VAT on what the customer paid, exactly as the tax authorities expect.
Can I edit a code that is already in use?⌄
Yes. You can change the discount, the products, the end date and the limit at any time, or deactivate the code with one click. Orders that used it keep the code as it was when they were placed.
How many codes can I have?⌄
Up to 50 active codes per store. Deleted codes free up their text, so you can reuse a good name next season.
