Types of Discounts

Sitewide Promotion

A sale or promotion made available for all customers at Spoonflower for a certain period of time. Sitewide Promotions are automatically applied to all eligible items and do not require a promo code. These promotions are typically for:

  • Merchandise: All goods sold by Spoonflower are considered merchandise. Merchandise included in a promotion may vary. Such promotions may be for all Fabrics, speciality Fabric(s), Wallpaper, Home Decor, Fat Quarters, Buy Now/Save Later, Buy More/Save More, etc...
  • Shipping: This covers the charges incurred to ship the order. Free Standard (Worldwide) Shipping is the most common promotion.


Promo Code

A special, one-time-use discount code that the customer applies to the order while checking out. Promo codes often arrive:

  • in email,
  • through a postcard mailer,
  • as a pop-up menu on our site.

You must save any site generated promo code. It will not be automatically added to your shopping cart.


Everyday Designer Discount (EDD)

Orders placed with designs you created and uploaded automatically receive a designer discount of 10% for Fabric, Wallpaper and Home Decor Items, (excluding Test Swatches).* When placing orders that also contain designs from other Spoonflower artists, the designer discount will only be applied to the items which contain your personal designs.

*When ordering Fill-A-Yard projects for yourself that incorporate your own designs, you will earn the standard 10% commission for these items, rather than the 10% Everyday Designer Discount. This 'commission' will show up in your account as spendable Spoondollars, but will not be included in payouts or on any total earnings for tax purposes. For more information, you can take a look at the article  How Commissions Work.
 

Combining Discounts

Only one discount can be applied per order with the exception of:

  • The Everyday Designer Discount will always be applied when applicable and an additional discount can typically be applied on top of it.
  • Trade pricing can be applied in addition to other discounts on other items in the cart.
  • PLUS shipping discounts can be applied in addition to other discounts on an order. 


Note: Specific terms and conditions will apply for each Sitewide Promotion and Promo Code that may differ from the information covered in this article. These terms and conditions will always be included with promotional emails and found on our site, serve as authority for our Promotions, and take precedence over any details found on this page.

Common Issues & FAQ

How can I see when your current Sitewide promotion will expire?

The fine print for the current promotion is always up to date here.

I received a Promo Code for signing up but the discount is not in my cart. Where is it?

The Promo Code is not be automatically added to your shopping cart. You must add the code when you are ready to place your order. For more information for the steps to do so, please go here.

I added my Promo Code but it says my order doesn't qualify?

There may be a few of reasons for this:

  • Be sure your Promo Code qualifies under the fine print of the promotion
  • You may need to be logged into your account
  • You already used the code
  • You already used another promo code from the same promotion.

If none of these conditions apply, feel free to reach out to us for assistance.

I forgot to add my Promo Code to my order. Can I apply it now?

Unfortunately, we can't retroactively apply a Promo Code to any order once it has been placed. You can certainly still use the Promo Code towards any new order instead as long as it is valid. For more information about applying this to an order in the future, look here.
