In order to create a coupon, in the Administrator zone select the 'Discount Coupons' option from the 'Management' menu (Figure 19). A hard-to-guess 'Coupon #' code is being generated automatically, but you can also type in your own code. Coupon settings include the following options:
| • | Times to use: specifies how many times a coupon can be used; |
| • | Status: specifies whether the coupon is 'Active' or 'Disabled'; |
| • | Coupon type: specifies a kind of an offer associated with the coupon; |
| • | Discount: if a coupon type is '$ off' or '% off', enter discount amount in this field; |
| • | Expires: limits the period of coupon validity; |
| • | Apply to: defines the condition under which the special offer applies, the following conditions can be selected: |
| • | order total, $: the coupon applies to orders with subtotal over a specified amount (if amount is set to 0, the discount applies to any order); |
| • | one product: the coupon offers a discount on an individual product; |
| • | one category: the coupon offers a discount on a product from a certain category. |
When you are done with the settings, click on the 'Add coupon' button to create a coupon.
