Frequently Asked Questions
Can I limit total redemptions?
Yes. You can place an absolute cap on the campaign so the offer automatically expires once the limit is reached.
Can I set a minimum purchase amount?
Yes. This protects your margins by ensuring discounts are only applied to high-value carts.
Can I password protect the redemption?
Yes. In-store staff can be required to enter a secret PIN to authorize the redemption at checkout.
Can I use the same coupon QR for in-store and online?
Yes. You can enable both In-Store and Online Redemption toggles simultaneously, giving customers the flexibility to redeem wherever they prefer.
