# Coupons

Coupons are a great way to promote your content. Coupons can be set up to be used on orders, subscriptions and or both!&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
**Coupons are case sensitive**

Meaning the discount code **SaveBig** is different than **savebig** Keep this in mind when setting up your coupon code.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

### **Creating a new Coupon**

**Coupons are available on all paid plans.** To begin setting up your first coupon login to your account and head over to your site admin. Click coupons on the left-hand menu. Click the green New Coupon button to get started.&#x20;

**1) Choose the type of product you'd like the coupon to be applied to;** [individual orders](/selling-your-content/single-purchases.md) or [subscriptions](/developers/api/subscriptions.md).&#x20;

**2) Choose the amount OR percentage you'd like to take off.** You will have to choose one or the other though.&#x20;

Mavenseed supports 100% off coupons for both orders and subscription. This happens in one of two ways:

* for percentage based coupons, a value of 100 is set into the Percent Off field
* for flat rate coupons, the Amount Off becomes lower than the product being purchased (only applicable to orders).

In the latter example, if you have a product for $50, but the customer has a $100 off coupon, then the checkout will be converted to a free checkout.

**3) Enter your Coupon Code.** By default we'll auto generate a coupon code for you. You're welcome to edit to something else. Keeping in mind coupon codes are case sensitive.&#x20;

**4 Additional Subscription Coupon Information** (Optional) and only applies if you've set the coupon to support subscriptions.&#x20;

![](https://2508417753-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LZ_LzUrkOiRAdHS8Ti2%2F-M2eglKM7U3J1ZBedc-G%2F-M2ejEeBTZp0HKujLmLn%2FScreen%20Shot%202020-03-17%20at%206.03.29%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=960f7e64-1b9c-4571-a785-2c14fd0e99e1)

**5) Redemption Settings (Optional)** Use these options to choose a date that the coupon must be used before, or a limit on how many times it can be used.

![](https://2508417753-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LZ_LzUrkOiRAdHS8Ti2%2F-M2eglKM7U3J1ZBedc-G%2F-M2ejYq7lwBPsTKh-CKW%2FScreen%20Shot%202020-03-17%20at%206.04.48%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=1ce70e22-8d12-45ad-8c7b-292c8538ea68)

**6) Regional Pricing (optional)** - These settings allow you to support [purchasing power parity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purchasing_power_parity). In a nutshell, if we assume a cappuccino in the U.S costs $4, that doesn't mean that everyone else in the world can afford it. Considering purchasing power parity, that same cappuccino should cost a lot less in some other countries.

With Regional Pricing, you can setup a coupon to be restricted to use by a certain country. When the customer is checking out, we'll display a message to the customer, with the coupon code and a prompt to use it, if needed.

Only users who are visiting from the supported countries will be able to claim the coupon.

**7) Supported Products (optional)**

Here you can specify what products are able to be claimed with the coupon. If you leave this field blank, the coupon will work with all products. If you add a product here, then only that product will be able to claim the coupon, and the coupon will not work with other products.

![](https://2508417753-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LZ_LzUrkOiRAdHS8Ti2%2F-MUoFr8Txb2qcWWS11Ij%2F-MUoGO8UoL91_ZzAeT9q%2FImage%202021-03-02%20at%2010.48.07%20AM.jpg?alt=media\&token=6909014b-0a25-48f7-a0df-0be9bbdbef43)

After you click *Create Coupon*, the coupon will be ready to use. If you'd like to make changes visit Coupons within site-admin, and choose edit to the right of the coupon.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Coupons are only created in Stripe for subscriptions**

When you choose to create a coupon for subscriptions, it will automatically create the coupon within Stripe. Stripe doesn't have coupons for orders, so Mavenseed reduces the amount in-app before sending over to Stripe.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

### Keeping track of coupon usage.

To view analytics of your coupon; number of times used, and if it was used more on subscriptions or orders click the View button under the Actions column while viewing the list of coupons.&#x20;

### Editing your Coupon

{% hint style="danger" %}
Currently any edits to a subscription coupon on Mavenseed will not update stripe. This is a limitation of Stripe. A work-around would be to create a new coupon code with the desired settings.&#x20;
