Create a coupon code
Make a percent-off code for your paid courses, posts, projects or bundles, with an optional use limit and expiry.
Open Coupons, create a percent-off code, choose what it applies to, and share the code with buyers.
- Open Monetize, then Coupons.
- Select Create Coupon.
- Type a Code, or select Generate for a random one.
- Enter the Discount Value as a percentage.
- Under Applies To, choose All content, Courses only, Posts only, Projects only or Bundles only. To narrow it further, tick items under Limit to these items (optional).
- Set Max Uses (0 means unlimited) and an Expiration Date if you want one.
- Check that Active is ticked, then select Save Coupon.
Buyers enter the code under Have a coupon code? when they unlock your content. You can also start a coupon from Products: open Promote on an item and choose Create a coupon.
If this didn't work
- The code isn't accepted: check the coupon's status in the list. Expired, Maxed Out or Inactive codes don't work, and a code limited to certain items only works on those.
- You wanted a fixed amount off: the current form does not create fixed-amount discounts, only percent-off.
When editing a legacy fixed-amount coupon, read the warning before saving: saving converts it to percent-off, and its old number is not automatically a sensible percentage. Coupons here don't apply to membership tiers.
