Pro Tip: Customers who walk through the Store Checkout will be able to utilize multiple discounts such as a Free Shipping offer combined with a  Total Amount Discount.  Similar discount codes cannot be stacked or combined. (Ex: If you have given a customer a $1 off code and a $2 off code, only one will reflect in the total. However, you could offer customers a % or $  discount combined with a Free shipping discount, and they both should reflect at checkout.
