Step 3: Choosing promo code type
Code Type- Can be either One-time codes or Custom code
Number of codes- Number of times the code is redeemed

⚠️ Here are some things to consider when creating a custom code:
Custom codes must be unique per app, meaning you can’t reuse a custom code in the same app for a different campaign.
Custom codes must be alphanumeric and are not case-sensitive.
We recommend adding a year or date to the end of your custom code to make it easier to track when each code is enabled.
