What is a Coupon?
Definition and Purpose of Coupons
A coupon is an offer made by a business or organization that provides a discount on a product or service. Its purpose is to incentivize customers to make a purchase by offering them a reduced price. Coupons can be a powerful tool for businesses, as they can increase sales, attract new customers, and encourage repeat purchases.
Benefits of Using Coupons for Businesses
Using coupons can bring several benefits to businesses. First and foremost, coupons can help drive sales by enticing customers with discounted prices. This can lead to an increase in revenue and help businesses achieve their sales goals.
Coupons can also serve as a marketing tool, helping businesses attract new customers. By offering discounts, businesses can grab the attention of potential customers who may have been hesitant to try their products or services at full price. Coupons can be a great way to introduce new customers to your business and build loyalty.
Furthermore, coupons can encourage repeat purchases. Customers who have used a coupon and had a positive experience are more likely to return and make another purchase. This can help businesses build a loyal customer base and increase customer retention.
Overall, coupons can be a valuable asset for businesses, as they can drive sales, attract new customers, and foster customer loyalty.

What Type of Coupons are Supported?
Percentage Coupon
One type of coupon that is supported is the percentage coupon. This type of coupon offers a discount based on a percentage of the order value. For example, if you have a 25% off coupon and a customer makes a $100 purchase, they will receive a $25 discount.
Percentage coupons are a popular choice among businesses, as they allow for flexibility in the amount of discount offered. They can be applied to various products and can be easily customized to fit different promotional strategies.
Fixed Coupon
Another type of coupon that is supported is the fixed coupon. This type of coupon offers a fixed amount of discount, regardless of the order value. For example, if you have a $10 off coupon and a customer makes a $50 purchase, they will receive a $10 discount.
Fixed coupons are often used when businesses want to offer a specific dollar amount off a product or service. They can be an effective way to promote certain items or encourage customers to spend a minimum amount in order to qualify for the discount.
Restrictions on Coupon Usage
While coupons can be a useful tool for businesses, it’s important to set restrictions on their usage to ensure they are used as intended. Some common restrictions include:
- Limiting the total number of times a coupon code can be redeemed: This allows businesses to control the number of times a coupon code can be used, preventing abuse or overuse.
- Limiting coupon usage to selected products: Businesses can choose to restrict the use of a coupon to specific products, ensuring that the discount is applied only to the designated items.
- Setting a redemption count for coupon codes: This allows businesses to track the usage of coupon codes and monitor their effectiveness.
- Disabling the coupon text box on order forms: If businesses do not want to show the apply coupon text box on their order forms, they have the option to disable it.
By setting these restrictions, businesses can ensure that their coupons are used in a controlled and effective manner.
