Popular Use Cases:

  • In-Store Promotions
  • Online Checkout Discounts

Make sure you have already decided:

  • Discount percentage or fixed amount
  • Coupon code
  • Expiry date
  • Terms & conditions
  • Redemption type (Online / In-store / Both)

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.
