If you’re running an online store with Hostinger Website Builder, offering discount codes is one of the best ways to boost your sales, reward customers, and promote special events. In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to create both percentage-based and fixed amount coupon codes directly inside your Hostinger dashboard.
Step 1: Log in and Access Your Store Settings
Start by logging into your Hostinger account. Navigate to the “Websites” section and select Manage Store next to the site you’ve built with Hostinger Website Builder.
Step 2: Open the Discounts Section
In the left-hand menu, click on Discounts, then click on Add Discount to begin creating your coupon code.
Step 3: Choose Discount Type
You’ll be given two options:
- Percentage Discount (e.g. 50% off)
- Fixed Amount Discount (e.g. $10 off)
Let’s say you’re running a Black Friday campaign:
- Set your discount code to something like
BlackFriday50 - Name the campaign
- Choose whether it applies to all products or a specific category
- Set conditions such as the minimum cart value (e.g. $50) and maximum number of uses (e.g. first 10 users)
Step 4: Set Start and End Dates
You can define when your discount becomes active and when it expires—perfect for flash sales or holiday promotions.
Step 5: Publish and Test
After saving, publish your website to activate the discount. You can then visit your store live, add items to your cart, and apply the coupon code to test if everything works as expected.
If the cart value is too low, you’ll see a helpful message saying the discount isn’t valid. If all the conditions are met, the discount will be applied successfully.
Creating a Fixed Amount Discount
Want to offer a fixed $10 off instead?
Just follow the same steps but choose “Fixed Amount” and set the discount to $10. Ensure the cart value is higher than the discount—Hostinger won’t allow a 100% discount on orders.
Common Troubleshooting Tips
- Always double-check your discount code spelling
- Ensure your site is published after creating or editing a discount
- Remember that minimum cart values and usage limits must be respected
