How do I create a Custom Discount code? (plus, instructional video)
What are Custom Discounts?
Custom Discounts are codes that are personally made by and applied to a specific artist's work. Simply create, and share the codes with your community and track their performance analytics in Promoter Tools.
How are Custom Discounts applied?
Collectors simply enter an artist's custom code during the checkout process.
Custom Discounts only apply to the art of the artist that created the discount code (even if the buyer has artwork from others in their cart). Whereas, discount codes provided by Bluethumb (e.g. during a site-wide sale or a trade order) apply to all artists.
Can multiple discounts be applied at once?
In short, no. Buyers can only use one discount at a time when processing their purchase. If collectors have access to more than one discount code or voucher, it’s up to them to decide which one to use.
Who can create Custom Discounts?
Custom Discounts is a feature that is only available to artists with a Bluethumb Pro profile.

Is there a limit on how many discount codes I can create?
There’s no limit to how many unique codes you can create.
Can discount codes be artwork specific?
Not at this time. The custom codes will apply to all of your listed artworks.
How will Custom Discounts affect the artist's payout?
The Custom Discounts are split (70/30) between the artist and Bluethumb, similar to Bluethumb’s discount codes as per our terms and conditions.
