# How to Set Up Discount Code Limits: Restrict to Once Per Customer and Total Number of Uses

${youtube}[Setup discount code limits - once per customer and total number of times discount applies](9NAMoGJTMDc)
This guide explains how to set limits on how many times a discount code can be used in total or by an individual customer.
**Important:** Usage limits can only be applied to **manual discount codes**, not automatic promotions.

### 1. Go to Your Discount Settings

1. In the Kite app, create or edit a promotion (e.g., a "Buy X Get Y" offer).
2. Ensure the promotion is set to the **manual discount code** method.

### 2. Set Usage Limits

1. In the promotion's settings, scroll down to the section titled **"maximum discount uses."**
2. **To set a total usage limit:** In the field for limiting the total number of uses for the discount, enter your desired number. For example, entering `2` will make the code expire after it has been used twice in total by all customers.
3. **To limit usage per customer:** Check the box labeled **"Limit to one use per customer."**

### How the Limits Work Together

You can use both limits at the same time. For example, if you set a total use limit of `2` *and* check the "one use per customer" box, the discount code will become invalid after two different customers have each used it once.

### How Customer Usage is Tracked

The system identifies customers by the email address they provide at checkout or by their logged-in store account. Once a customer has used the code, they will not be able to apply it again on future orders.

### 3. Save Your Changes

Click **Save** to apply the usage limits to your discount code.
