You can offer your customers discounts using our system if you are selling multiple products from your website.

Comments
I'd like to create discount codes that can be used only a certain number of times, and then they stop working. Is this possible? If not, we'd so appreciate this feature being added.
A more advanced feature we'd like: It would also be useful to be able to auto-generate a one-time-use discount along with a purchase confirmation. That way, we could reward a customer for purchasing by dynamically providing her with a discount for her next purchase.
