Coupon Code (required)

The coupon code is used by the customer when the coupon is redeemed. Merchandising automatically generates a coupon code (an example is shown above). You can change the code to something more meaningful to your customers; for example, a coupon for free shipping on holiday orders might be HOLFREESHIPPING. Note, however, that the code cannot be edited after creating the coupon. Coupon codes are case-sensitive.

Coupon Name (optional)

You can provide a display name for the coupon. If you do not provide a display name, the display name of the associated promotion is used.

Start and End Date

If the coupon is only good for a certain time period, enter the start and end dates that define that period.

Uses

Number of times the coupon can be used.

Parent Folder (optional)

If you want to move the coupon from its current location, you can select a different parent folder, or create a new folder.

Promotions (optional)

Select one or more existing promotions, or create a new promotion with which to associate this coupon. You do not have to associate any promotions with a coupon when you create the coupon; however, in order to distribute the coupon to customers, you must associate the coupon with one or more promotions.

Redeemable on Promotion Sites

If you are using the multisite feature, specify whether the coupon can be redeemed on all sites, or only on those sites with the coupon’s associated promotion is connected (see Sites Tab).

If the coupon is redeemable on all sites, but the associated promotion is linked to a specific site, the customer must check out their order on that site in order for the promotion to apply during pricing.
