If you want to give discounts on some specific products, coupons are required.
Well, to make coupons, click on the coupons option in the ‘Action’ menu at the left side of the Dashboard. And instantly, appear a form you have to fill out to create a coupon. At the products field, you have to specify the products the coupon will be applicable.
In SocialMate’s Ecommerce store, you can make three types of coupons, such as Percent, Fixed cart, and fixed products. Now you have to select any of the three types of coupon code. Before selecting, you have to understand the functionality of each type of coupon.
Let’s explain them:
Percent– Percent coupon type is applicable for selected products only. For example, if the cart contains three (3) t-shirts @ $20 each = $60, a coupon for 10% off applies a discount of $6.
Fixed cart –A fixed total discount for the entire cart. For example, if the cart contains three (3) t-shirts @ $20 each = $60, a coupon for $10 off gives a discount of $10. This coupon type will be applicable for all the products you have added to cart whether you have selected the products or not.
Fixed product – A fixed total discount for selected products only. Customers receive a set amount of discount per item. For example, three (3) t-shirts @ $20 each with a coupon for $10 off applies a discount of $30.
Then you have to fill out the following boxes:
Coupon Code- Now give code for the coupon. Your customers will use the code to get discounts on the products the coupon is applicable to.
Coupon amount- Then you have to provide the amount for the coupon. Depending on the discount type you choose, the coupon amount will be a Fixed value or percentage. Enter the amount without a currency unit or a percent sign, which will be added automatically based on the discount type you choose e.g., Enter ’10’ for £10 or 10%.
Coupon expiry date– Date the coupon should expire and can no longer be used.
Max usage limit- You have to specify the number of times the coupon could be used before reaching the expiration date.
Coupon deactivate- By disabling the status button, you deactivate the coupon anytime.
Free shipping – If you enable Free shipping, the shipping cost will be removed when the coupon is used.
