Coupon Promotions

Coupons can be used as a reward or a qualifier.  Below are examples of each.

Coupon as a Reward

Create a promotion like above, setting your start and end dates, locations, and promotion type.  In this example, we will use a transaction total as the qualifier.  You can set it to give the coupon when you spend a total dollar amount, or a dollar amount on certain items, or even a quantity of items.  The coupon will then be good for a future purchase.  

Under Rewards, select Coupon as the reward type, then select the coupon you imported.  Once you have selected your coupon, click Add Reward.

Once your Qualifier and Reward have been added, click SAVE.

To set up a coupon redemption promotion, create a promotion like above, setting your start and end dates, locations, and promotion type.  This time, the coupon will be the qualifier.  Select Item Quantity as the Qualifier Type, enter the Description, and quantity required (for coupons, this will be 1).  Then select "Add Specific Item(s)" and search for your Coupon Item that was created.  Once selected, click Add Qualifier.

This type of promotion requires that the coupon be added to the transaction to receive the reward.

Under your rewards, select the reward type.  In this example, we are giving a 20% discount (or a dollar amount) to the entire transaction.  You can also give the discount to only certain items by selecting Fixed or Percent Discount on Item(s).  Once the reward has been added, click SAVE.

Coupon Promotions can exclude certain items from qualifying or receiving the reward.  To add items to exclude, enter those under the Exclusions tab.
