# Managing discount codes

You can offer discounts that get activated on checkout by creating discount codes. A discount code can then be used by your customer on the checkout step or when creating a subscription via the Firmhouse API.

When creating a discount code you must choose which discount will get activated with the code. Discounts themselves are managed separately from discount codes. In practice, you will first create a discount and then create one or multiple codes that will activate a specific discount on checkout.

The reason why it is set up this way is so that you can also automatically or manually apply a certain discount for a customer without your customer having to use a code on checkout.

To learn how to create discounts and what discount options you have, please see [Giving discounts to your customers](giving-discounts.md).

## Creating a Discount Code

First of all, make sure you already have a discount available in your Firmhouse project. Discounts can be created via the **Discounts** sidebar menu.

### Steps

1. From your Firmhouse project, click **Discount Codes** in the sidebar or menu.
2. On the **Discount Codes** page, click the **Create discount code** button on the top-right.
3. In the **Discount code** field enter the text of the discount code that your customers will enter at checkout. Be aware that discount codes are currently **case sensitive**.
4. In the **Number of times this code can be used in total** field enter how many checkouts can use this code.
5. In the **Discount to apply** dropdown, select the Discount you want to activate with this code.

## Removing or Disabling a Discount Code

Discount codes are automatically disabled when their usage limit has been reached. You can also fully disable and remove a discount code immediately.

### Steps

1. From your Firmhouse project, click **Discount Codes** in the sidebar or menu.
2. On the **Discount Codes** page, find the discount code you want to remove.
3. Click **Remove**

> When removing or disabling a discount code, the attached discount is not impacted. Customers that have the associated discount already active will keep that discount. You can also apply discounts to a customer manually, even if there are no (active) codes for it.
