Introduction

A Coupon Promotion works very much like a coupon off of the Internet.

You provide a coupon (on the Web, it’s in the form of a “code”) which your shopper then redeems at your store for a discount.  Coupons are provided through advertising, marketing, word-of-mouth, written on the back of a business card, sent through an e-mail, on fliers, back of receipts, or any other method for coupon distribution.

The Coupon Promotions screen displays all of the coupons set up on your site.  You can edit, delete, or add new promotions.

Add Coupon Promotion

To create a new coupon promotion, click Add Coupon Promotion.

The Coupon ID is what your customers must enter in order to redeem this coupon.

Be sure to create an easy-to-enter code.  Try not to mix letters and numbers, and make the code short and simple.

Your shoppers do not see the Description, only you do.

Enter a description that reminds you why you created it or for whom you created the promotion.

The Status must be ON for a shopper to redeem this coupon.  If the Status is OFF, the shopper cannot redeem the coupon.

Enter the dates you wish this promotion to run.  Shoppers can only redeem a coupon between the Start date and End date.

Choose which shopper types can redeem this coupon.

If you select Open House Shoppers, and a Retail Shopper tries to use the coupon, they will not be able to.

Specify the discount that your shopper receives when they redeem this coupon.

We recommend setting this to a % off discount, instead of a $ off discount.  A crafty shopper can abuse a $ off coupon.

Do not set a coupon to $0 off or 0% off.

Specify the number of times each shopper can redeem this coupon.

Enter 0 to allow each shopper to use the coupon an unlimited number of times.
