Overview
This tutorial explains how to use coupon codes. Coupon codes are also sometimes referred to as discount codes or promo codes.
What is a Coupon Code
A coupon code is a special code you give to your clients that they can enter into a CloudForm. Below is a breakdown of some of the coupon code features:
- Each coupon code provides a dollar or percentage discount off of the cloudform invoice.
- The coupon codes do support a discount of 100% off.
- The coupon code can be used in either the CloudForms or the StudioCloud Invoicing.
- The coupon codes also have the option of being required for those instances where you want to encourage a client to fill out a cloudform before the coupon code expires.
- The coupon codes also support having a limited number of uses for those instances where you want to either have a 1 time use code or a special for the first 100 clients that sign up for a form.
