Coupons and Giveaways and Codes, Oh My!

When there's a sale or a giveaway at beadshop.com, you'll want to get that order placed quickly! But wait...Where does that coupon code go? And how to you get the giveaway??

Here are some helpful tips and tricks to get you through the checkout process easily, no matter what kind of device you are using.

For a Laptop or Desktop Computer:

When you have finished shopping, head to your cart. You can do this either by clicking “CART” found on the top right corner of the page.

Once there, you’ll see a list of all the items you are about to purchase. This is a great time to review your items. Have you forgotten anything? Need to switch out a color? You can delete items or change quantities here as well.

Below the list is a little box that says “Special instructions for seller” and this is where you’d write in any notes for us. We refer to these as “Order Notes” or "Shipping Notes" often, if you hear us chat about them on a live show. If you have a giveaway phrase or need to let the Shipping Team know about anything, this is the spot to type it!

Once you’ve added any notes (if needed) click “CHECK OUT” at the bottom. Coupons and shipping options are available on the upcoming pages.

So! You’ve clicked “check out” and have been brought to a new page. This page is where you fill out your information. On the right, you’ll see a box labeled “Gift card or discount code,” which is where you’ll enter one if you have one! Be sure it’s spelled correctly, with no spaces. Click the grey “Apply” button next to the box, and watch your total price DROP!


Once that is done and your information is filled out, click to continue through the checkout process. On the subsequent pages, enter all your info and select how you’d like to pay.

For a Smartphone or Tablet:

On a mobile device, you will see a small cart icon on the top left of the page, on every page. Click it! 
Now that you're in your cart, again, below the list of your products is the Order Notes box that says “Special instructions for seller,” so be sure to type any giveaway codes here! This is also the space for anything else you may need us to know, like color requests or just saying hello!

Just like with the computer version, you'll click “check out," but you'll notice there doesn't seem to be a coupon code box on this next page! Don't worry...It's just hiding. On the top, you’ll see a blue cart and the words “Show order summary,” which you will need to click, and then poof! The discount box appears. It is labeled “Gift card or discount code,” which is where you’ll enter one if you have one! Be sure it’s spelled correctly!! Click the grey arrow button next to the box to apply.

Once that is done and your information is filled out, click to continue through the checkout process. On the subsequent pages, enter all your info, and select how you’d like to pay. Once you’ve paid, you’re all set! Sit back and wait for your goodies to arrive!
