Using Coupons for Giveaways, Challenges, and Events
Running a raffle at a charity event? Giving away rewards for check-in clubs or monthly challenges?
If you're still using pen and paper to track inventory or handle billing reporting—it's time for an upgrade! Coupons are a powerful, modern way to give a 100% discount on specific items while automatically tracking inventory and enhancing your billing reports.
Why Not Just Use Credits?
Yes, Credits are another option—but keep in mind:
Credits apply to any purchase a member makes, including memberships. That means if you award credits, they’ll reduce the total of a member's next bill, not just specific items. Credits are great for flexible rewards like gift cards.
But if you want more control, Coupons are your best friend.
Why Use Coupons?
Target specific items: Limit the discount to just one or more store items.
Save admin time: Members can redeem the coupon themselves—no manual entry needed.
Track usage: Monitor coupon redemptions for clean, accurate reporting.
Limit access: Create one-time-use coupons for things like:
A free t-shirt for the monthly challenge winner
A 100% discount on a specific product or class
A reward for a raffle or check-in streak
How to Create Coupons
1. For a Single Store Item
Go to: Admins > Billing > Store Set-Up
Create a coupon that applies only to a specific item in your store.
2. For Multiple Products or Memberships
Go to: Admins > Billing > Coupons
Select the products or memberships you want the coupon to apply to.
Leave the selection blank if you want it to apply to everything in your store.
Pro Tips
Set the coupon to run once to prevent it from being reused.
Use specific promo codes that are easy to remember but clearly tied to the event, product, or member. This avoids confusion and keeps your system clean.
This coupon code is tracked per item, not the whole cart. Please specific either what product you want the code to be applied to or make sure they only checkout with 1 item in their cart.
Let your giveaways run smoothly—and leave the spreadsheets in the past. 🙌
