We are renaming the Store Credit functionality to Discount Code

We're Renaming "Store Credit" to "Discount Code" – Here's Why

We’re making a small but important change: what we previously called “Store Credit” will now be called “Discount Code”. 

Don’t worry – the functionality remains exactly the same. This change is simply about using the correct name.

Why the change?

The term “store credit” usually refers to a balance that is tied to a specific customer account – you log in, and the credit is there, just for you.

But what we’ve been offering all along is actually a discount code:

  • It’s not tied to any specific person or account
  • It can be used by anyone who has the code
  • It works just like a discount code you’d buy or receive

In other words, we were calling it “store credit”, but it was always a discount code in how it worked.

Looking ahead

We do plan to introduce true store credit in the future – the kind that is connected to a customer’s login and account. To avoid confusion between these two different types of credit, it’s important that we update the name now.
