Coupons and Promotion Codes

Coupons are used to apply discounts to the subscriptions you offer. You can provide customers with a promotion code, and when they enter the code, the coupon applies the discount to their subscription.

Once you've created your coupons, you can create a promotion code to share with your customers. When a customer enters a promo code at checkout, Salable automatically applies the relevant coupon to their subscription.

You can use coupons and promotion codes to:

• Apply a discount to a subscription.
• Apply a discount for a certain length of time.
• Reduce billable amounts by a percentage or a fixed amount.

You can also define a coupon that a customer must redeem by a certain date, or that's limited to a set number of redemptions across all your customers.
