Setting up coupon availability
A. The coupon can be used for all
methods, keep all methods activated or just a selected specific method. For example, the coupon is available only for pickup orders then we select only ‘’Available For Pickup’’
B. One Time Use - This code will only be valid for the FIRST person to redeem it. Every person after this will receive an Invalid Code error. (one-off discount)
C. Not in conjunction with another discount/deals – If selected, it will not apply to any deal or discount.
This feature prevents double discounting on already discounted items.

E. Maximum Usage per Customer – how many times the same customer can redeem this coupon.
F. Valid Date – if left as is the coupon is always available. If the date range is selected the coupon will be ONLY available during the selected date range.

*Not applicable and will not show when ‘’Method Fee‘’ is selected*
The coupon can be applied to a specific ‘’menu category’’ e.g. only Traditional Pizza or only Desserts are discounted. Multiple menu categories can be selected.
We can go more in-depth and select a particular product or products within the menu category.
E.g. Only Pepperoni Pizza or Hawaiin are discounted in the Traditional pizza category.
Multiple menu items in multiple menu categories can be selected.
We can go more in-depth and select a particular size of the product.
E.g. Large Pepperoni pizza
from the Traditional pizza menu category is discounted.
E.g. ALL sizes of pizzas from the Traditional pizza menu category are
discounted.
Before setting Applicable Products or Sizes
If you set a coupon discount applies to any category/product/size it will NOT work with any deal or any multipart (half & half) product.
Don’t’ forget to save and test prior to promoting your coupon.
Coupon Max Discount
For a percentage discount you can now set a maximum discount amount for the code per use.
eg: 10% off to a maximum claim of $10
This allows the venue to provide an attractive discount but also give them a level of protection for the maximum claim per order.
If you leave the max discount as 0 it will NOT apply a max discount
