Stripe, creating Coupons

Now you have your Stipe account set up you are able to add coupons offering free or discounted access. 

Once in your Stripe Dashboard open the Products page.

• Click Coupons.
• Click +New.

In the Create a coupon pop-up, as the image below, enter the coupon’s details.

• Give the coupon a name.
  • This is going to be the code that is shared and inserted when redeemed.
  • This name can be made up of letters and numbers.
  • The ID is not optional.
    • Even though Stripe recommends leaving the ID blank, fill in the ID with the same coupon name. This is mandatory!
• Select the type of discount, usually a percentage discount.
  • Leave the toggle off for ‘Apply to specific products’.
  • Decide on the duration of the coupon.
    • Duration means the amount of time in months that the discount is applied.
      • As an examples;
        • Coupon ONE offer 100% for 1 month
        • Coupon TWO offer 50% for 2 months
• Consider setting redemption limits.
  • The first option is to limit by which date the coupon must be used.
  • This setting is optional, but can be good practice to implement to insure coupons are not redeemable forever.
• Consider setting how many times this coupon can be redeemed.
  • This option is optional, but good practice to set so you have control of how many times a particular coupon can be used.
• Click “Create coupon“ to add it to the list!
