Most well-known online retailers provide some sort of coupon system, and they routinely give them to customers.
It’s also not a coincidence; the benefits of coupon marketing are well established, and if your store isn’t using them, you’re losing out on a significant business opportunity.
This article will guide you on how to use these coupons in SureCart.
Create a New Coupon
To create a new coupon, please navigate to the WordPress dashboard, click on SureCart, and Click on Coupons.
This will take you to the coupons dashboard. Click on the Add New button to create a new coupon.
Filling in the Details
Coupon Name: Please enter the name of the coupon here. This will not be visible to your customers and is for internal use only.
Promotion Code: You can type in a code that your customers will enter on the checkout page. You can also leave it blank and we will create a promotion code for you automatically.
Limit to a Specific Customer: Use this option to create the coupon for a particular customer. You can click on the drop-down and select a customer that you would like to create this coupon for.
Product Restrictions
This option will allow you to restrict the coupon to be applied to specific products.
You can leave it blank if you would like to let your customers use this coupon for all the products on your website.
Take note, however, that whenever a customer adds even just one of the products with the coupons restricted to the cart, the coupon is still applicable granted that it meets the other criteria set here.
To restrict the coupon for a particular product, click on the Add Product Restriction option and click on the drop-down menu to select a product.
Amount Details
This option allows you to select the amount of discount that your customers will avail using this coupon.
You can either choose a percentage off or a fixed discount amount for your customers. Select the option and enter the discount amount in the box below.
Discount Duration: You can choose the duration of the coupon by using this option. It allows you to choose between three different discount durations such as:
- Forever: this will allow the coupon to be active forever and get automatically applied to the cart whenever a customer tries to make a purchase.
- Once: This will restrict the coupon for one-time usage. Once a customer uses the coupon it will be deactivated and can not be used in the future.
- Repeating: This will allow you to choose the number of months that you would like to restrict the usage of this coupon. For example, if you would like to restrict the usage of the coupon for the next three months, please insert 3 in the subsequent box.
Redemption Limits
These options allow you to limit the number of times your customers can use this coupon. You will get the below options under the redemption limit.
Usage limit per coupon
You can use this option to select the number of times this coupon can be used by the customers.
This option will be applied across your customer database and hence will not restrict a single customer from using the coupon multiple times.
This can be helpful if you have a limited budget for your discount. For example, if the per coupon discount is $10 and the total budget of the discount is $100, you can restrict the usage limit per coupon to 10. This ensures that your coupon will be disabled after 10 uses.
Usage limit per customer
This option will restrict the number of times a customer can use the coupon. If you select this number as 1, any customer will be able to use this coupon only once.
Minimum order subtotal
This is the minimum order subtotal amount required to apply this coupon.
End Date
You can select an end date for this coupon to be active. This option lets you select the date and time when your coupon will expire. Please note that the time is calculated as per UTC+0.
Click on the Create Coupon button to apply these changes and create the coupon.
In conclusion, using coupons in SureCart is a great way for users to save money on their purchases. By following the simple steps outlined on the platform, users can easily apply coupons and receive discounts on their purchases.
