Applying a coupon code via a discount link
Once you have created your coupon, you can also share it as a link. This will make it easy to add to emails, posts, or really, anything clickable.
Once the discount link is clicked, the coupon will be applied automatically.
To grab the coupon link, simply click on Copy link 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 your homepage with the discounted plans and products, displaying both the original and the discounted amounts.
You can follow these steps to manually apply the coupon to a specific product sales page.

What happens if a coupon is archived during a subscription plan trial period?
What happens if a coupon is archived during a subscription plan trial period?
If a coupon is archived during the trial period, it will not be applied to the paid plan once the trial ends.
