# Create a discount code

`POST /api/v1/commerce/discounts`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://app.blueticked.com`
- URL: `https://app.blueticked.com/api/v1/commerce/discounts`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Create a checkout discount: a percentage, a rand amount, or free delivery, exactly one of the three.

Pass exactly ONE of `percent_off` (1 to 100), `amount_off_rands` (R1 to R100 000) or `free_delivery: true`.

Codes are stored uppercase (2 to 40 letters, numbers or dashes) and normalised the same way at checkout.

A date-only `expires_at` like `2026-09-30` means through the end of that day. `min_order_rands` gates any kind.

## Request body

- object
  - `code` string, required
  - `percent_off` number
  - `expires_at` string, date-time
  - `max_redemptions` number
