Coupons
Magnet Commerce allows you to create discount
coupons that customers can use during checkout. The discount
can be a fixed amount or a percentage of the order total. Each
coupon comes with a code and all a customer needs to do is manually
enter the discount code during the checkout process. The order
total will then be redefined to the new discounted amount.

example using a promotional email, an advertisement etc.
