INDIVIDUAL COUPONS
After creating a coupon, let's call it a 'parent coupon', you can create a 'child coupon' also known as 'individual coupons.' These are created under the 'parent coupon' and inherit its settings, such as discount amount or validity period.
Each 'individual coupon' code is unique and can only be used by one person.
This ensures that each customer receives their own personalized discount and reduces the abuse of the same coupon code.
HOW TO CREATE INDIVIDUAL COUPON?
click on the 'create individual coupons' button on the right and this screen will open up:
- Coupon Quantity - You can set a limit on how many individual coupons can be generated under each parent coupon.
- Coupons per user - Specify the number of coupons that each user can use.
- Exp. Date & Time - Define the expiration date and time for the coupons. This ensures that the coupons are valid only for a specified period.
After configuring the above settings, click on 'create individual coupons' > upon creation a CSV file with the unique coupon codes will be automatically download.
