Coupons

Coupons let you offer customers fixed or percentage based discounts.

To redeem, your customers simply need to enter a valid coupon code into a {{ sc:coupon:redeem }} form.

Managing Coupons

Update Coupon

You can manage coupons in the Control Panel - under Simple Commerce -> Coupons.

Rules

Beyond creating a coupon & setting the discount amount, you may also configure a set of additional rules to check if the customer's cart qualifies for the discount.

  • Maximum uses: this setting allows you to limit a coupon to only be redeemed a certain number of times.
  • Minimum cart value: this setting allows you to set a minimum amount for which carts should reach in order to redeem the coupon.
  • Products: this setting allows you to select products which limit the coupon to only be redeemed when any of the selected products are present.
  • Expires at: this setting allows you to configure an expiry date. Customers will be unable to redeem the coupon after the expiry date has passed.

Templating

Redeem a coupon

You may use the {{ s:coupon:redeem }} tag to let customers redeem a coupon.

You should include a code input inside the form tag.

{{ sc:coupon:redeem }}
<input type="text" name="code">
{{ /sc:coupon:redeem }}
{{ sc:coupon:redeem }}
<input type="text" name="code">
{{ /sc:coupon:redeem }}
