Coupon Codes let Fulfillment Centers run vouchers that can be redeemed by customers visiting affiliate stores. Coupon codes can be configured to offer a percentage or fixed amount discount on the specified parts of an order. The discount may be set to apply (or not apply) to pre-decorated products, non-decorable products, blank products, and shipping. The application of a coupon code does not affect the affiliates' sales commission; the cost of the code is taken out of what the Fulfillment Center receives.
Prerequisites
- You must have administrator access to use this feature
To Configure Coupon Codes:
- Log into your DecoNetwork Website.
- Browse to Admin > Marketing.
Select Coupon Codes.
The main work area displays a list of configured coupon codes that may be edited or deleted.
Click the thumbnail to enlarge.
In the top bar is the option to create a New Coupon. If you run a lot of codes, they may be searched in the coupon code search box.
- Click on the New Coupon button to add a new code or click Edit beside an existing coupon to make changes to it.
When adding a new code or editing an existing coupon code you have the following settings:
General
- Enabled toggles the code on and off.
- Coupon code is the alphanumeric code a customer must enter during checkout to use the code.
- Coupon name is the name of the code as shown in the main work area.
- Discount amount is the size of the discount, which may be expressed as a percentage or a fixed amount.
- Expiry date sets when the coupon code will no longer be valid.
- Minimum order value sets a minimum order value required for the use of the coupon code.
- Number of uses sets how many times the coupon code can be redeemed before becoming unavailable.
- Limit per User lets you set a limit on how many times a single customer can use the coupon. If the checkbox is unticked, the coupon will allow unlimited use. If the checkbox is ticked, a field will be available for you to enter a limit.
Product Availability

One of the first three options must be enabled before a shipping discount is allowed - you can not offer a shipping discount via coupon code by itself. (Shipping discount level may be independently set via Admin > Settings > Shipping > Shipping Methods.)

- This coupon is available for all product groups makes the coupon available to all product groups when ticked. When unchecked, the product groups will be listed so that you can choose what product groups the coupon will be available for.
Store Availability
The Store Availability settings let you set which stores may use the coupon code.
- Global allows you to set the coupon code as available in all stores by default, or not in any store by default.
- Store Group allows you to set a group of stores as having access or being denied access to the code, in accordance with the store group each store belongs to. Click Add Rule to choose a group.

- When you are done, click Save.

We have several affiliate stores that want to offer coupon codes. Is there a way to set them up so that the coupon discount comes out of their commission instead of the fulfillment center?
Hi Dan,
Unfortunately, there is currently no way to make the coupon discount come out of affiliate commissions. This feature request is on our radar.
Is there a way to use coupon codes in business hub for the stores we make them available to?
Hi Gail,
Currently, coupon codes cannot be used in Business Hub. Please visit our Feature Requests Board and submit a request to make this feature a consideration in future updates.
Has there been any update to this feature so we can allow our affiliate stores to offer coupon codes without me copping the loss?
Hi Mark,
There have been no updates to this feature.
