Adding a single-use promotion code
Single use promo code allows you to create a set amount of promotion codes which can then be given to prospective/existing customers to sign up to a new subscription with a promotional discount.
The codes are single use, so they cannot be shared and once it has been used it no longer remains valid.
This can be used for marketing promotions to encourage customers to sign up for products and subscriptions. The customer must provide the single use promo code during the new subscription process as it will need to be verified against the database to confirm if it is available and valid and of course apply any discounts to the subscription. (you will need to setup your rules around Single use promo code and what promotion/discount it is aligned to).
- Select Single-use promotion code.
- Select Promotion from the available promotions
- Select Save
Once a discount has been created, you can view and edit in the discounts screen.
