Discounts and promo codes

Hi, I’m Memberstack, and today we’re going to talk about our new feature that allows you to set up discounts and promo codes directly in the Memberstack dashboard. If you’ve previously set up promo codes and discounts in Memberstack, you know that the existing solution required going to the Stripe panel, coupons section, where after creating a coupon, you had to create a separate promo code, which you then passed on to users. With our new feature, you no longer need to leave your

Memberstack dashboard. Here’s how it works. You go to the discounts section and create a new discount. All your discounts will be tied to the specific plan you have already created. You have two options for setting up a discount . You can either allow customers to enter the code at checkout or automatically apply it to the plan. So, to set it up, I’ll just enter a discount code that I’ll share with users, and you can limit its use to new customers only or leave it for everyone

else on every transaction. OK. Other options you have are to specify whether it’s a percentage discount or a fixed amount. Any of these switches opens up options that you can configure. There are also duration settings: for the first payment only, for several months, or for each payment. Once you have all this information configured, you can apply it to a specific plan. In my case, I will apply it to the demo version of the coupon. Then

I will set the discount amount to 100 percent. I will leave the maximum number of uses unlimited. I will not specify the expiration date . And the name that is for internal use only, I will call "demo". Once you have everything set up, you can choose to enter the coupon at checkout or have it applied automatically. Next, you can proceed to create a discount and code. After creating a discount code, you

will see it in your control panel. After that, all you have to do is share this discount code or coupon with your users , and they will be able to use it during checkout. In theory, it looks like this: I go to the codes, copy this code, and open the pricing page. Next, I’ll go to my Stripe customer portal where I can add a new plan, and I’m going to upgrade my plan to this one . Continue. After that, you can

see that I have the option to enter a promo code. I will apply the code that gives a 100% discount, and then click "Confirm ". And this way, users get the opportunity to use coupons or promo codes that you have set up directly in the Memberstack control panel, instead of going to the Stripe panel, which also simplifies your setup. And inside Memberstack, if you go back

to the discounts section, you’ll see that the number of uses is now one, and for codes here you can also see that the number of uses is one. And it all syncs with your Stripe dashboard too. So you see I have a demo coupon and it was also used once. So, if you have any questions about how this all works, feel free to leave them in the comments below, and I’ll see you in the next video. See you later.
