Steps to Create and Manage Coupon Codes Using the Coupon Code Extension

1. Open the Coupon Section from EventPrime Menu and Start Creating a New Coupon Code

• Navigate to the EventPrime menu and select the Coupons submenu. This will open the list of all previously created coupons(if there are any).
• Click the Add New Coupon button to create a new coupon.

2. Fill in Coupon Details Including Code, Discount Settings, and Usage Limits

On the Add Coupon screen, you’ll need to define all the essential information that determines how the coupon works:

• Coupon Name – Enter a name for your reference. This will not be shown to attendees.
• Coupon Code – This is the actual code that users will enter during checkout to receive the discount. Make sure the coupon code is unique.

Note: If there’s a duplicate coupon code, the page will show an error.

Next, configure how the discount will work:

• Discount Type – Choose between Fixed Amount or Percentage.
• Discount Value – Enter the amount or percentage to be discounted from the total price.
• Expiry Date – Define the Start Date and End Date where coupons would be able to redeem.
• Status – check the Active checkbox for showing the coupon is available to redeem.

Then, set usage restrictions by clicking the Usage Limit tab:

• Uses Per Customer – Specify how many times each user can apply this coupon.
• Limit by Total Uses – Set the overall usage cap across all users. Once this number is reached, the coupon will be disabled automatically.

After entering all the details, click the Publish button to save the coupon.

Frontend View

During the Event Booking process, users will see a Promo Code field at checkout. They can enter a coupon code and click the Redeem button to claim the discount. If a valid code is applied, the corresponding discount will be deducted from the ticket total before payment.

Conclusion

The Coupon Codes extension in EventPrime lets you create and manage discount codes for your Events. You can define the discount amount, set an expiry date, and limit how many times each code can be used. It’s a helpful way to offer deals and increase the Event Bookings.
