Coupon codes · Selling
A code you can hand out and still count.
Percent or amount, with an expiry, a redemption cap, a per-customer limit, and a report of what each code gave away and what it brought back.
What you get
A code from a flyer, a mailer or a radio spot, taken at the counter or typed on the website.
Caps that actually hold: a total redemption limit and a per-customer limit, enforced at the point of use rather than watched afterwards.
Every redemption is recorded against the code and the customer who used it.
The report puts redemptions, money given away and revenue earned beside each other, so “did the mailer work?” has an answer.
A code switches off without being deleted, so what it did survives it.
How it runs
A mailer, start to finish.
- 1
You create the code: 20% off, 500 redemptions in total, one per customer, expiring at the end of April.
- 2
It goes on the mailer. Customers bring it to the counter or type it at checkout.
- 3
Each use is previewed, applied and recorded — the register has exactly two ways to touch a code and those are both of them.
- 4
At the end of the month the report shows how many came back, what the code cost and what it earned.
The questions people ask
- Can one person use a code twice?
- Not if you set a per-customer limit. The cap is checked when the code is applied, which is the only moment at which checking it means anything.
- Does it work online as well as at the counter?
- Yes — the same code, the same caps, the same record.
