# Create a Cart Price Rule in Magento 2.x

An automation in Personal Discount needs a Cart Price Rule to which it will be adding coupon codes.

You can prepare a Cart Price Rule in your Magento admin panel.

Navigate to Marketing > Cart Price Rules and click on Add New Rule.

{% hint style="info" %}
You won't see expiration date in the coupon codes table, because it's a limitation of Magento API. However, Personal Discount keeps track of when the coupon should expire and removes them at a right time.
