• Forever: when a coupon duration is set to "Forever", the discount will be applied to any subsequent invoice created for the subscription.

Expires On: The field allows you to determine the date when the coupon expires and can no longer be redeemed on a new subscription or an eCommerce order.

i.e.: We create a coupon, JULY4PROMO, for the 4th of July which is set to expire on July 7th. Any subscription that applies this coupon before July 7th, will benefit from the discount. Whereas if you try to create a subscription and apply this coupon code after July 7th, you won't be able to.

Max redemptions: This is the maximum number of times a coupon can be redeemed.

Plans: This allows you to specify what plans the coupon can be applied towards. If you leave the field blank, the coupon can be applied to all of the existing active plans.

Coupon reports

Coupons are primarily used to apply a discount towards a subscription or an eCommerce order. But they can also be used for reporting purposes.

Let's take the same example as above. You decide to create a Promo code for July 4th holiday, which is only going to be valid in the first week of July.
You share this promotion with your customers, and track the conversion rate by displaying the "Coupons report" which is available in the Analytics section.

Coupons FAQs

How does the Coupon's expiry date affect a subscription?
When you set the expiry date on a coupon, you will no longer be able to "use it/apply it" towards a subscription, past that expiry date.
The coupon cannot be applied to a subscription that is being renewed after the expiry date set on the coupon. In this case, the subscription renewal will be created using the regular price of the plan.

Can we renew subscriptions when using deleted coupons. If a coupon was applied to a subscription and then deleted, will it continue to be applied to any subsequent subscription?
When you create a coupon in Pelcro, based on the coupon settings, you can apply it, one or multiple times to a subscription.
But in the case where you applied the coupon to a subscription, and then deleted the coupon, you won't be able to use it again on any subscription.
In the case where you had the following flow:

• Coupon Duration = forever
• Coupon applied to a subscription
• Coupon was then deleted
  -On Subscription renewal, the "deleted" coupon will not be applied towards the subscription renewal.
