A well-designed coupon discount not only attracts more customers but also directly impacts sales performance, customer loyalty, and the personalization of the shopping experience.
In this step-by-step guide, you will learn how to create and automate a coupon discount in a few minutes with Planet.
The first step to creating a coupon discount is to add a new promotion. To do this, you must access the promotions page and click on "add promotion".
When you do this, a pop-up will appear with the available presets to create your promotion. In this case, you should choose the "Volume discount" preset to create a regular coupon discount. You can create coupons through other promotions, but a volume discount is the easiest way to do it.
Coupon discount configuration
1. Products
To create a promotion in any of the available templates, you must choose the products on promotion.
2. Actions
In this case, the only action required is to configure the discount.
This configuration includes:
Product combination: The discount will be applied to buying X units of the same item, variant, or buying X units of combined items of the selected products.
Discount options: you must select the quantity of products to apply the discount, the amount of discount, and the type of discount.
Quantity: the discount is applied for a minimum quantity (from 5 products) or a fixed quantity (buy exactly 10 units). In these cases, the most common option is to choose the minimum quantity.
Discount types:
Percentage discount: Most common option. e.g., 10% discount
Quantity discount: e.g., 10€ discount per unit
Fixed price per unit: e.g., 10€ each unit
Total fixed price: e.g., 20€ total price
Tiers: In this use case, it is common to remove the steps and keep only one. e.g., buy 1 and save 15%.
Method: You must select the discount code option and choose a name for the coupon
Cart & checkout label: name that appears in the cart for the discount applied.
Other discount combinations: This allows you to choose if you want to combine this discount with other product discounts and/or shipping discounts.
3. Widgets
3.1 Banner on product page
Optionally, you can add a banner on your product page to inform your customers of the promotion. You can include the discount coupon name in this banner.
Texts and appearance of this banner are customizable for each promotion.
4. Schedule the promotion
When you create the promotion, the date of promotion creation will be set as the default start date. You can edit the start date and optionally, add an end date or more schedules.
