If your discount code isn’t applying at checkout, don’t worry — here are the most common reasons and how to fix them:
Expired Code
Many promotional codes (e.g. seasonal sales, email offers) have a set expiry date.
If the code has expired, it won’t apply. Always double-check the offer terms.
Eligibility Verification Required
For group discounts (students, healthcare workers, teachers, seniors, disability, key workers), you’ll need to verify your eligibility via GoCertify.
If your verification has lapsed (e.g. after 6–12 months), you may need to re-verify to generate a new active code.
Code Already Used
Some codes are single-use only. If you’ve used the code on a past order, it won’t work again unless specified otherwise.
Minimum Spend Not Met
Certain promotions require a minimum basket value (e.g. £20 minimum spend). If your basket doesn’t meet the threshold, the discount won’t apply.
Product Exclusions
Some codes can’t be applied to specific products or collections (e.g. bundles, subscriptions, gift cards, or sale items).
Always check the terms on the campaign page.
Subscriptions
Subscription orders already include 10% off — additional discount codes cannot be stacked on top of this saving.
Incorrect Entry
Codes are case-sensitive - make sure you’ve entered it exactly as shown (no extra spaces or missing characters).
We recommend copy-pasting the code directly.
One Code Per Order
Only one discount code can be used per order. If you’ve already applied another code (e.g. free shipping or a promotion), the system won’t let you add a second.
Region Restrictions
Some codes are valid only in specific countries. If you’re ordering from outside the UK, the discount may not apply.
Technical Glitch
If none of the above apply, it could be a temporary checkout error. Try:
Refreshing the page
Clearing your browser cache
Using a different device or browser
If it still doesn’t work, please contact our team with a screenshot of the code and your basket. We’ll be happy to help.
