How can we help?

You can make a coupon that will take a dollar amount off of the price of a certain item, or one that will take a dollar amount off of the whole transaction, if the customer reaches a minimum purchase amount. For example, you can set up a coupon that would take $5 off for almond milk, or another that takes $10 off of every $60 purchase. Read on to see how you can make these for yourself!

To make this coupon, go to Customers and Discounts > Electronic Coupons.

General Coupon Editor

For every coupon you create, start by filling out basic details directly in the Electronic Coupons Editor.

1. Name* — Enter a Name for your coupon that will be easy to understand at a glance. For example, Almond Milk $5 Off will tell the cashier whether or not it's the coupon the customer needs.
2. Description* — Enter the Description and include any important information about the coupon.
3. Valid From / Valid To — Enter the starting and ending dates this coupon can be used.
4. Limit Per Order — Type in the maximum quantity of the item the coupon will cover.
5. Priority — Note where in the order this coupon should apply to a transaction if the customer is using multiples. 1 would mean this coupon should be prioritized first, 2 would mean second, 3 would mean third, and so on.

*Required Field

Cash Back For A Specified Item

1. Below the Coupon Editor fields, click on the Chevron next to Triggers to open the menu.

   

2. Click on the Plus Sign next to UPC to add the trigger. You'll see a set of fields to the right.

3. Load the item the coupon applies to by entering its UPC or Description, then select it from the drop-list.

4. Make sure you've selected Quantity for the trigger type.

5. Enter the Quantity of items the customer has to purchase for the coupon to apply. For example, entering 2 means the customer needs to buy at least 2 of the item to get the coupon.

6. Click on the Save button in the upper right to save your work.
   

7. Scroll down to Awards.

8. Click on the Chevron next to Awards to open the menu.
   

9. Click on the Plus Sign button next to Cash Back.

10. On the far-right, some options will load for you. Under Cash Back, enter the Cash Back amount. This amount will be rewarded to the customer when they buy the specified item. Please note, this term is a little misleading; you don’t actually give the customer cash back after the purchase. It is just a discounted amount on the purchase. 
    
11. Click on Save in the upper right.

Minimum Total

A Minimum Total Coupon gives the customer a discount for reaching a minimum purchase. For example, you could offer a coupon for $10 off for every $60 purchase. Again, you will not be handing the customer cash if they meet the requirements for this coupon, it will be a discount off the transaction total. Here's how to set one up:

1. Click on the Chevron next to Triggers to open the Triggers menu.
   

2. Then click on the Plus Sign button next to Minimum Total.

3. To the right, you'll see a field for the Minimum Total. Enter the minimum total dollar amount the customer must have in the transaction to earn the award.
   
    

4. Click on the Save button in the upper right.

5. Click on the Chevron next to Awards, which is right below Triggers.
   

6. Click on the Plus Sign next to Cash Back.

7. In the right panel, enter the amount of Cash Back this coupon would give the customer.
   

8. Click on Save to save your work.

Cash Back Coupon in the Front End

Once you’ve configured your Cash Back coupon, it will automatically apply once the customer’s transaction meets the Trigger condition in the Front End. An example could be a Minimum Total coupon that does $5 cash back for $50 purchases. This coupon will apply once a customer’s transaction meets $50 total, and the coupon will display below the list of items.
