1. In the new window enter an alpha-numeric **Code** for the coupon.

2. If there is a limited quantity, enter the quantity available under **Quantity**. If the usage is unlimited, leave the number as "0.00"

3. The **Start Date** will default to today's date, but you can edit as desired.

4. If the coupon will expire on a certain date, enter the date the coupon would be no longer valid under **End Date.**

5. Enter "100" in the **Percent** field.

6. Click on **Update** to create the new coupon code.
