# How to Create a Basic Promotion Code

> Discount code for all items

Create a basic promotion code that your customers can use for all products, services, and price lists. You also create an optional mandatory product which is a required purchase before Upmind applies the promo code discount.

Upmind offers two types of discounts.

* For a [group discount](/using-upmind/marketing-tools/how-to-create-a-promo-code-for-a-group-of), create a single code that applies to multiple items.

* For an [advanced discount](/using-upmind/marketing-tools/how-to-create-an-advanced-promo-code), create a single code that applies a different discount to different products.
