Go to WordPress and go to Coupons. Click ‘Add coupon’
On the coupon code field, create the name of the coupon. It is usually the name of the company plus the current year.
Only use alphanumeric characters for coupon codes. Do not use special characters. Ex. FocusOnForce2020
Fill in the description box with important notes. Example: Acumen code for the month
On the Coupon data, under ‘General’ select the appropriate type of the coupon in the Discount type field:
Percentage discount is used if the discount is in percentage
Fixed cart discount is used if the discount is for a specific amount
Fixed product discount is used if the discount is for a specific product
5. On the ‘Coupon amount’ field, enter the percentage discount or the fixed cart discount amount whichever is applicable.
If it is a percentage discount, and we are providing free access (e.g. for a charity) enter 100
If it is a non profit and we are providing 50% discount then enter 50
If it is a corporate / bulk purchase that has already been paid for a number of coupons, enter 100
If it is a special coupon deal available to anyone e.g. email campaign, then enter the % discount e.g. 25 for 25%
6. Fill in the ‘coupon expiry date’. It is usually the anniversary date or one year from the date of purchase.
7. To restrict usage of the coupon codes to people within an organization, enter *@EMAILDOMAIN.com for example: *@acumensolutions.com in the ‘Usage restriction’ section, ‘allowed emails’ field. This is a must to protect the code from unauthorized use.
8. Under usage limits, fill in the ‘Usage limit per coupon’ filed with the number of coupons the organization has purchased
9. FOR CORPORATE PREPAID PURCHASES ONLY: In the ‘Limit usage to X items’ field put 1. (This is to make sure that the coupon usage is counted correctly). By setting this field, if a user would like to purchase / access multiple items, they need to checkout multiple times.
10. Hit Submit for Review once done.
