Two coupon options are available in Simple Promotional Email:

• Create a new coupon
• Do not include a coupon.

Note: To allow shoppers to use coupons, the coupon field must be enabled in the checkout pages of Checkout & Registration Manager. In most cases, the coupon field is enabled by default. If the coupon field has been disabled, go to the Page Configuration section of Checkout & Registration Manager and enable the Coupon Code / Promotional Code field, then publish your store. Please see Adding, hiding and editing fields in sections for more information.

Create a new coupon

1. Sign in to your My Services page.
2. Click the Store link.
   
3. Go to Simple Promotional Email.
   
4. In the Coupon module:
   • Select the New radio button in the Coupon field.
   • Choose $ (dollar amount) or % (percentage amount) and fill in the coupon value field. The number must be a positive value, with no more than two decimal places.
   • Decide if this value applies to orders over a specified dollar amount, or to all orders.
   • Choose an expiry date. You may enter it in MM/DD/YYYY format, or choose it using the calendar feature.
   • Enter a coupon code. Your coupon code must begin with a letter, may not contain spaces, and should be easy to remember. (Example: thankyou) Any uppercase letters will be converted to lowercase, and only alphanumeric characters, underscores and hyphens may be used.
   • Check that the information displayed is your intended coupon offer.
   

Do not include a coupon

If you do not wish to send a coupon with your message, select the None radio button in the Coupon field. A message stating Are you sure? A coupon will not be sent. will be displayed.

Note: Remember that including a coupon with your message is an effective way to encourage product sales.

Note: Simple Promotional Email is currently limited to Merchant Solutions and Store v.1 customers who use Store Editor to build their store pages.
