4. Usage Limit: If you want to limit the number of times this coupon can be used, set the usage limit (e.g., 100 uses).

5. Expiry Date: Set an expiry date for the coupon if you want it to be valid only for a limited time.

6. Individual Use Only: If you don’t want this coupon to be combined with other discounts or coupons, check this box.

Step 5: Set Conditions (Optional)

You can add conditions to restrict how and when the coupon can be used.

1. Minimum Spend: Set a minimum order amount required to use the coupon (e.g., €20).
2. Product Restrictions: If you want to restrict the coupon to specific products, use the "Product Categories" or "Products" options.
3. Exclude Sale Items: You can exclude products that are already on sale from using the coupon.

Step 6: Publish the Coupon

Once you've filled in all the necessary details and made any adjustments, click on the Publish button at the bottom of the form.

Step 7: Share Your Coupon

Now that your coupon is live, you can share it with your customers. Promote it on your product pages, in emails, or on social media to drive sales!

Tips for Effective Coupon Strategy:

• Target New Customers: Offer coupons for first-time buyers to incentivize them to complete their purchase.
• Seasonal Promotions: Create special coupons during holidays or special events (e.g., Black Friday or Christmas).
• Offer Coupons to your non-financial supporters: Converting fans that are following you but not supporting your project yet is a great way to sell some copies

That’s it! You’ve now created a coupon for your store.
