Promo codes are discounts that can be applied to specific books or magazines in the Kobo Store. Some promo codes can be redeemed only once, while others have unlimited use within a specified time frame.
Due to publisher restrictions and territorial limitations, promo codes cannot be applied to all books or magazines. It is also important to note that promo codes can not be used with the Quick Buy option at checkout.
The Standard Checkout link must be used to allow entry of the code.
To apply your promo code, please make sure of the following:
1. Your purchasing settings are set to Standard Checkout. To do this:
- Go to
www.kobobooks.com
- Sign into your Kobo Account
- Click on My Account
- Select Account Settings
- Scroll down and locate Checkout for eBook Purchases
- Ensure that it is set to "Show Me Standard Checkout" and click save.
2. The book you are purchasing is eligible for a promo code. To confirm this:
- Go to
www.kobobooks.com
- Sign into your Kobo Account if you are not signed in already
- Search for the book you wish to purchase
- Click on "Items Eligible for Promo Code Use" on the left side of the window
- Only the books eligible for promo code use will remain in your search result
3. Apply the promo code correctly by doing the following:
- Click the Buy Now button to start the checkout process.
- Click the Use standard checkout link if you have Quick Buy enabled.
- On the Purchase Confirmation Screen, you will see the Have A Promo Code? box.
- Enter the promo code in the box and click the blue + button to apply your promo code.
- If the promo code is valid and can be applied to the book or magazine you wish to purchase, the discount will be applied and shown in the pricing column on the right.
- Complete the remaining steps to finish the purchase process.
Please keep in mind that some promo codes work only on a selected list of books. There is usually a button that says "Browse Now" or "View all Sale Items".
