Why Should you Limit your Max Order Quantity when Running Promotion:
As many of you know, on November 7th, 2016, Amazon has removed the option to create the “$ OFF” promos, limiting promotions to “% OFF” only. The “$ OFF” claim codes ensure that customers don’t take advantage of your Amazon Coupons by getting a discount on their entire order if they choose to buy multiple quantities during your promotion. It seems to be a small change but actually, it’s very critical.
When creating your claim codes, we have always recommended generating the “$ OFF” codes. Now that you only have the “% OFF” option, Shopper can order unlimited units of your product with 1 coupon code, even if you set “One redemption per customer”, even if you use one-time-use claim codes, it’s possible for the shopper to order up to 999 units with full discount.
