Promo code discount

Specify the promo code text and the discount amount in the price list.

Requirements

The promo code discount must be at least 5% of the product price (as a percentage or in a currency) or RUB 500.

For example, for a product that costs RUB 1000, the minimum promo code is RUB 50 or a 5% discount. For a product that costs RUB 15,000, the minimum promo code is RUB 500.

Note. Yandex.Market confirms that the product was sold at the old price (or higher) for at least 5 consecutive days in the last 30 days before the promotion.

If this is not the case, the offer is displayed without the promotion.
