How do I add Storewide Discounts?

Manage your storewide promotional coupon codes from a single place. Allow key customers to enter coupon code(s) at checkout, so that they can access a special storewide discount, have their shipping fees waived, and/or have all their surcharges waived. You can also setup promotional coupon codes at the individual product level when editing the product.
