Establish long-term customer loyalty by making your customers feel valued and appreciated!
Coupons can be a great incentive for new customers to try out your product or service.
When customers redeem coupons, you can gather data on purchasing habits, preferences, and demographics, which can be used to inform future marketing strategies.
Creating discount coupons and promo codes on Stripe is pretty east. For first-timers, though, the journey along a twisty path of not-so-obvious buttons and links can be tough to navigate.
This article guides you through the maze and shows you how to create and apply a Stripe coupon.
P.S. If you want to take the next step and create customer-facing promo codes that link to a coupon, read this article.
❗️Important: If you are in test mode in Memberstack create coupons in Stripe's test mode.
The Create a Coupon page displays. Fill in the required fields.
Name
Type
By default, this toggle is off, and the field is blank. That means your customers can apply the coupon to every product related to the subscription. If you enter one or more products, the coupon applies only to those items and excludes all the others.
Set the coupon’s period of validity. Click the field and select an option: Forever, Once, and Multiple Months.
Forever
This coupon works again, again, and again as long as the customer has a subscription.
Once
This coupon works one time during a subscription period. When the current subscription ends, the coupon won’t generate a discount.
Multiple months
Unlike Forever, this option sets a fixed period of validity. Here’s an example of how it works.
Let's say you create a coupon that is valid for four months (as shown in the screenshot below).
Configure this setting to protect your business by putting guardrails on coupon availability. Use the date picker to define the last day for redemptions or cap the total number of redemptions available to your customer base. Or, you could enable both limits (time and total number).
