Yes, 2Checkout supports supplier created coupons. You can set coupons to equal to any of the following:
- percentage off individual items or off entire sales
- a set amount discount off an individual item or of entire sale
- free shipping
And if you’re feeling ambitious (or generous!), you can also set up multiple coupons.
What does the customer do to redeem the coupon? When you create a coupon, you will provide the coupon code that you can distribute to your customers in whatever manner you like. The customer will enter this code when making a purchase and the discount will be calculated automatically into the sale. It is important to note that if a coupon is being applied to a recurring product the discount will only apply to the first installment.
How does the Create Coupon option work? In order to create coupons, suppliers will need to access the new Vendors Administration panel.
To access the create coupon page in our new vendor administration panel please login at the following url: https://www.2checkout.com/va/ Once you have logged in click on the ‘Products’ tab and then select the ‘Coupons’ sub category.
To create a coupon make sure to fill all of the fields provided.
- Coupon Code- The code your customers will be using to receive the discount. Please note: If you don’t enter a coupon code, one will be automatically assigned when the coupon is created.
- Expiration Date- The date your coupon will expire in the following format. (YYYY-MM-DD)
- Savings- Use the drop down menu to select the savings type as fixed amount, percentage off or free shipping. The amount can be entered in the savings field as follows:
- Fixed Amount-1 = 1.00
- Percentage Off- 10 = 10%
- Free Shipping- Customer will receive free shipping if the plug and play parameter set is used.
- Minimum Purchase- The minimum order total required to use the coupon. Please note: In order for a fixed amount coupon to be created, you will need to ensure the minimum purchase amount is set lower than the cost of your least expensive product.
You may either select the check box to apply this coupon to all products created in your 2Checkout account or you may click on the ‘Show Products’ link to select which product/products the coupon is applied to. If you leave the checkbox blank the savings will apply to the sale total rather than an individual product price.
