Coupon codes are a great way for you to reduce pricing on particular skus or on an order total.
You can reduce the price of a sku or an order total by:
- a dollar amount
- a percentage
Here’s what you need to set up a coupon code:
- coupon name (something meaningful to your customers)
- for a sku discount:
- the sku (NOT the manufacturer part number)
- for a cart total:
- the minimum cart total
- the discount type:
- percentage off, or
- dollar value off
- start and end dates
- the quantity of coupons you want available
- whether the coupon can be combined with other coupons.
Codes are entered by your end-customers in the shopping cart page.
IMPORTANT: when you use coupon codes, any reduction in pricing will be billed to your account if the price you’re selling at is below your cost!
To set up a coupon code:
Login to the administrative section of your eStorefront.
In the blue navigation bar, go to My Storefront > Enduser Pricing
Click the Coupon/Access Codes tab.
By default, the system takes you to the page for setting up a sku.
Here is an example of how to create a sku coupon code for:
- $5 off a minimum of three APC Net7 Power bars (Example SKU 111578)
- minimum price of the power bar must be $14.83
- minimum quantity must be 3 or more
- cannot be combined with other coupons
- coupon is valid for 5 days, and
- will expire after it’s redeemed 100 times
To set up a coupon code on an order (cart total) click the ‘Order’ link.
Here is an example of how to create an order coupon code for:
- 5 percent off a cart total of $1000 ($50 off)
- coupon CAN be combined with other coupons
- coupon is valid for 5 days, and
- will expire after it’s redeemed 20 times.
Always click the ‘Save’ button to save your coupon codes.
Once your coupon codes is saved, the page will update and you can log in anytime to see how many coupon codes have been redeemed.
You can also edit or delete the coupon if you wish.
Now you need to turn on the Coupon Code entry field in on the shopping cart page:
Go to My Storefront > Storefront Profile
Scroll down to the option, click the checkbox and leave it as optional.
Now click the ‘Save and Publish’ button at the bottom of the page and your customers can start entering their coupon codes!
