How to Generate a New Coupon

To start creating a coupon, click on the "Create Coupon" button to access the relevant data entry page.

For now, coupons are only valid for one-time product purchases and bump products in V2 Funnels. Support for subscription coupons will be introduced soon. Keep in mind that coupon codes do not apply to one-click upsells.

Assigning a Name to Your Coupon

The coupon name is used internally for easier management and identification of different promotional offers. While it’s not mandatory to give each coupon a unique name, doing so will help in organizing and tracking your campaigns effectively.

Creating a Unique Coupon Code

Coupon codes function as distinct identifiers, ensuring that each promotion has a unique code. These codes consist of alphanumeric characters and are automatically converted to uppercase. Spaces and special characters cannot be used when generating these codes, and a discount amount greater than 0 is required. You can also use the auto-generate feature to quickly create a 7-character code.

Choosing the Discount Type

There are two main methods to offer discounts with your coupons:

• Percentage Discount: A discount calculated as a percentage of the total order value.
• Flat Rate Discount: A specific, fixed discount applied to the total, regardless of the order amount.

Setting the Start Date and Time

Select the exact date and time when your coupon will become active. This will ensure the discount is only available from the date and time you specify, giving you more control over your campaign's duration.

Defining the End Date and Time

Similarly, you can set the expiration date and time for your promotional offer. Use the calendar tool to select the date, and specify the exact time when the offer will end.

Setting Redemption Limits

You can limit the total number of times a coupon can be redeemed successfully. This feature ensures you can manage the scale of your promotion by capping the number of redemptions while keeping track of how many times the code has been used.

Restricting Coupon Usage to Specific Products

This feature allows you to limit the coupon's usage to particular products. For instance, if you choose to apply the coupon only to Product A, the discount will only be applied to purchases of that product, ensuring that the promotion is exclusive to the selected items.

Limiting Use to One Redemption Per Customer

You can choose to restrict each customer to one redemption of a coupon. By default, this option is turned off for both new and existing coupons.

Applying Coupons to Recurring Payments

Enabling this option ensures that the coupon’s discount will be applied to every transaction for a recurring product. If disabled, the discount will only apply to the first payment made by the customer.

By following these guidelines, you will be able to craft coupon codes tailored to your business goals, manage your promotions effectively, and increase customer engagement with your offers.
