Promotional codes/coupons are configured according to the following features:
It's up to you how you will distribute codes. You can send them to specific clients, display them as a news/announcement in the Client Area or post them on your website.
If you have active invoice coupons in your system, you can edit your invoice-related templates (like notification about new invoice, invoice reminders, invoice overdue notices) and auto-assign related coupon to email notification, to encourage customer to pay for invoice with additional discount applied. To do so, in related email template you can use following block:
{havepromocodes invoice=$invoice} {if $coupon} Hurry up and save! You can use following coupon code: <strong>{$coupon.code}</strong> to get up to {$coupon.value} {if $coupon.type=='percent'}%{else}{$currency.code}{/if} off your invoice total! To use it, login to our client portal, open this invoice and click on Add Coupon Code {/if} |
Customer will see coupon code on email notification only if it can be applied to his invoice
When using add to cart ilnk available in each product coupon you can modify it to auto-apply coupon code by applying "promocode" argument to its url containing coupon code, ie:
http://url_to_your_hb.com/?cmd=cart&action=add&id={PRODUCTID}&promocode={PROMOCODE} |
