Manage Campaigns in Medusa Admin
In this guide, you'll learn how to view and manage campaigns.
What is a Campaign?#
A campaign is a collection of promotions related to specific marketing or sales goals. A campaign also gives you granular control over promotion usages, allowing you to set up start and end dates, and budget usages that once exceeded, the promotions of the campaign can't be used anymore.
View Campaigns#
To view the campaigns in your store, go to Promotions -> Campaigns from the sidebar.
In the list, you can see campaign details such as the name, description, and identifier. You can also search, filter, and sort the campaigns to find the specific item you are looking for.
Create Campaign#
To create a campaign:
- Go to Promotions -> Campaigns from the sidebar.
- Click on the Create button at the top right.
- In the form that opens:

- Optionally set a start date in the "Start date" field. Promotions in this campaign can only be used after this date.
- Optionally set an end date in the "End date" field. Promotions in this campaign are expired after this date.
- You can set a campaign budget of the following types:
- Usage: How many times the promotions in the campaign can be used. Once the number of times exceed the limit, the campaign and its promotions expire.
- Spend: The total amount that can be discounted by the promotions in the campaign. Once the total amount discounted exceeds the limit, the campaign and its promotions expire. This is not applicable to "Buy X Get Y" promotions.
