Create a discount code

Create a percentage-off code for your subscription plans, limit how often and how long it can be used, and track redemptions.

Discount codes suit sponsor promotions (“SPONSOR20”), launch offers and on-air call-to-actions. A code takes a percentage off a subscription plan at checkout. Codes don’t work on store orders or event tickets, so use sale prices for merchandise.

Create a code

  1. 1
    Open Coupons

    Go to Studio → Management → Coupons and click New coupon.

  2. 2
    Enter the code

    Type the Coupon code viewers will enter, such as SUMMER50. Codes aren’t case-sensitive, so “summer50” works too.

  3. 3
    Set the discount

    Enter Discount % from 1 to 100. At 100 the form shows a Free badge: the code turns checkout into an instant free activation with no payment step.

  4. 4
    Add a note

    Use Description to record who the code is for. It’s only shown to staff.

  1. 1
    Limit redemptions

    Enter a Usage limit, or leave it empty for unlimited use.

  2. 2
    Set an expiry

    Pick an Expires on date. The code stops working at the start of that day, midnight on your site’s clock, and then shows as Expired.

  3. 3
    Choose the plans

    Under Applies to, choose Every plan, or Selected plans and tick them under Choose plans.

  4. 4
    Activate and save

    Leave the status on ACTIVE and save. Set it to Inactive to pause a code without deleting it.
