This is part 5 of our guide How to use coupon codes. To start at the very beginning, take a look at the guide overview.
Sharing a coupon code
During checkout, your customers can apply coupons codes by entering the coupon code directly in the Discount code field and then clicking Apply.
For this method, you'd simply need to share the coupon code with them! This could be done in person, over email, or any other way you'd like.
Once the coupon code has been applied, the discount coupon will be shown on the checkout form, as shown below:
Customers won't be able to apply more than one coupon code at the same time.
Sharing a coupon link
If you'd rather share a direct link with the code built into it, we have that option too!
Once you have created your coupons, you can easily share the coupon via the shareable URL with your audience and customers through emails, posts, or any other medium.
To get the coupon shareable URL, simply click on Copy coupon link icon next to the coupon:
If this coupon applies to only a specific product or subscription plan, the shareable URL will direct your customers to the product sales page/community plan checkout with the discount automatically applied to it.
If, however, the coupon applies to all products/subscriptions of your site, the URL will direct the customer to the site page with the discounted plans and products, displaying both the original and the discounted amounts.
Now that you know how your coupon codes and coupon links, let's head over to part 6, the final part of this series: Viewing customer usage of coupons.
