To create a new promo code, click the "Create a promo code" button at the top right of the listing.

The promotion will apply to the payment to which it is applied. For a subscription, the discount will therefore not apply to subsequent monthly payments, but only to the initial payment. If you choose an Amount discount, it will be applied automatically including tax (VAT).
In general, discounts generated by your promo codes will be applied to the total VAT-inclusive cart amount. For VAT calculation (where applicable), the discount will be distributed proportionally to the total VAT-inclusive amount of each rental product, complementary products, and delivery fees making up the cart.

VAT - €8.33 VAT 20% - €41.67 excl. VAT Total excl. VAT = €166.67 Total VAT = €33.33 Total incl. VAT = €200 Application of a 10% promo code discount to this cart = (-) €20 incl. VAT (€10 incl.
