# How do I set usage limits on a discount code?

Usage limits let you control how often a discount code can be redeemed, so your promotions stay on budget and aligned with your marketing goals.

In ROLLER, you can cap total redemptions, limit each guest to a set number of uses, and restrict when a code can be used — all built into the discount code settings in Venue Manager.

You can cap discounts in two places when you create or edit a discount code. Use **Additional options** to set how many times a code can be used and who can use it, and use **Availability** to set the dates, days and times a code can be redeemed.

Choose the limit type that matches what you want to control:

- **Per code** — caps total redemptions across all guests (eg a Black Friday code limited to 500 uses).
- **Per code per day** — caps total redemptions across all guests per day.
- **Per guest** — limits each guest to using the code once.

For time-based rules, use **Discount usage** under **Availability** to set a start date or a fixed sale window.

> [!NOTE]
> Discounts apply to only one eligible product per checkout, unless you turn on a usage limit. So if you want it to apply to more than one product in a single cart, you'll need to set a limit using the process below.

## Set usage limits on a discount code

1. From Venue Manager, go to **Products** > **Discount codes** > **Create a discount code**, or select an existing code to edit it.
2. Scroll to **Additional options** and select **Limit discount uses**.
3. Enter the number of uses, then select a limit type:
  - **Per code** for a total cap
  - **Per code per day** to reset the cap daily
  - **Per guest** to limit each guest to one use.
4. (Optional) To set when the code can be redeemed, go to **Availability** > **Discount usage** and select **Date range**, then set the dates, **Days of week** and any time windows. To make the code available from a start date with no expiry, select **Ongoing** instead.
5. (Optional) Select **Include booking rule** to cap how many items in a single booking the discount can apply to, or **Allow multiple uses of a code in the same booking** to let a guest reuse the code within one booking.
6. Select **Save** to activate the code.
