eLead offers three types of digital codes that can be used to promote your store. Gift codes are live and ready for use as soon as they are entered into our system. A Net 30 invoice will be issued at that time for the gift code total. Gift codes are nonrefundable, can only be used on prepaid online brand store orders, and cannot be combined into more than one code.

Gift Codes

Gift Codes are codes with a specific value a purchaser can use to reduce the cost of their online brand store order.
They are not assigned to a specific user and are transferable.
The code can be randomly generated (via an Excel formula) or you can assign your own codes as long as they are unique to each purchaser.
Codes can only be used on prepaid online brand store orders and cannot be combined into more than one code.
Codes can only be used on single-piece one-off items such as apparel, hats, bags, and tech items.
They never expire.

User Assigned Codes

User codes are essentially gift codes assigned to a specific user, by email, that can be used to reduce the amount of an online brand store order.
User codes are very useful for new hires, yearend gifts, or rewarding current employees for their work anniversaries or birthdays.
We have a template for uploading and creating user codes. Once the user codes are uploaded, an email is automatically sent to the recipient. The email contains their code, a link to the store, a username, and a password.
User codes are randomly generated and cannot be manually assigned.
Codes can only be used on prepaid online brand store orders and cannot be combined into more than one code.
User Assign Codes are not transferable.
Codes can only be used on single-piece one-off items such as apparel, hats, bags, and tech items.
They never expire.

Promo Codes

Promo codes are a single code that reduces the amount of the order by a predetermined amount. For example, a promo code called EmployeeGift2023 would automatically take $15 off each order for which that code is entered.
Promo codes are set up once for each campaign.
Codes can only be used on prepaid online brand store orders and cannot be combined into more than one code.
