Coupon codes can be created to offer store discounts and to promote subscription and course sign-ups.
How to create a coupon code
- In your Control Panel.
- Click Generate Income in the blue sidebar menu.
- From the drop down menu, select Coupon Codes.
- Click Create new coupon code.
- Enter a Name.
- Add a unique Code that will be given to users.
- Set the Percent Off.
- Enter the Duration of how long the discount will be applied to the purchase.
- Using the pop-out calendar add an Expiration date. The expiry date cannot be past 5 years.
- Enter the number of Maximum allowed Redemptions.
You cannot offer a coupon code with the discount value of 100%.
Special Note:
Duration options vary according to your payment processor.
- Stripe offers three options: Once, Multi Month and Forever.
- PayPal only supports the option: Forever.
If you offer both PayPal and Stripe as payment gateways and choose 'once or multi' as your duration then PayPal will be hidden as a payment option. The visitor will only be able to pay using Stripe.
