Item-Level Coupons discount a single product in the cart rather than the whole order. Quickvee supports two types, both created from the same flow on the POS: Universal Coupons, which apply to any item across your inventory, and Specific Item Coupons, which are valid only on the items you select. This article covers creating both types from the POS app. For the cashier-side workflow, see Apply item coupons at the register.
📝 Item-level coupons are separate from Order-Level coupons, which discount the entire transaction. Both live side by side in the Coupons module.

💡 Tip. Need a "$10 off this product" style promotion? Use a Specific Item Coupon, it supports fixed-dollar discounts, while Universal coupons are percentage-based.
✅ Best practice. For Specific Item Coupons, include every variant the promotion should cover. A coupon restricted to one variant will be rejected on sibling variants of the same product at the register.
✅ Best practice. Keep codes short and recognizable (e.g., VAPE5, DUDHOOKAH). Cashiers can search the register's coupon list by code, so consistent naming speeds up checkout.
