To create a manual discount code, click on Discount Codes under Content.
An overview page will then appear. Among other things, you will see the name of the discount codes, the merge tag (for use in your email), the usage (expiration) and what type of discount code it is.
Not sure which discount code to use? Then read the article on "How do I use discount codes in Reloadify?".
You create a manual discount code in three steps:
Step 1: generate a batch of codes
Step 2: upload the discount codes in the back-end of your webshop
Step 3: create a discount code in Reloadify
Step 1: generate a batch of discount codes
To avoid having to create new discount codes every day, it is much more efficient generating a batch of them. You can do this easily with Excel or via websites like: https://www.voucherify.io/generator. Here you can allocate how many codes you want generated and how many numbers and characters they should consist of.
Tip: When you have generated a batch of discount codes and paste them into Reloadify, they often show up side by side. For the discount codes to work, you need to put them under each other in Reloadify. As an intermediate step, it is helpful to paste the discount codes into Excel first to put them under each other.
Step 2: upload the codes on your webshop platform
Once you have created your unique discount codes, you can upload them into your online shop platform. In Lightspeed for example, you can upload the codes into a text box:
Click on "Save". You can find these codes in the index, as well as their expiration date and if they have been used.
Step 3: create a manual coupon code in Reloadify
To create a manual discount code, click on Coupon codes under Content. An overview page will appear where you will see all the created discount codes. Among other things, you will see the name of the discount codes, the merge tag (for use in your email), the usage (expiration) and what type of discount code it is.
To create a manual discount code, click on New coupon in the upper right corner and Manual coupon:
Coupon name: here you enter the name of the discount code. It is helpful to choose a name that actually describes what coupon code it is. The example below shows discount codes for redeeming a digital product.
Discount type: with this option you indicate whether the discount codes are unique or can be used multiple times.
If you choose the option "discount code can be used multiple times", you only need to add one code. Reloadify will automatically add this code into every email you send.
By choosing "discount codes are unique", you can fill in multiple discount codes into the text box. Every new email will then contain a unique discount code. Once all the codes you created are distributed (sent in emails), the trigger will be paused and you will receive a notification via email.
New codes: in this field you enter the discount codes. Enter as many discount codes as you want, but note: one discount code per line.
You receive an email from us when all the coupon codes have been used.
Note: Does your webshop have multiple languages? Then you need to create the discount code in each language.
Adding manual coupon codes to an email
After creating discount codes, it's time to use them in your emails.
While creating a new trigger or newsletter you can add merge tags to your emails using the email editor. By clicking on the text box, a toolbar appears, in which you will find the Merge tags option. When selecting this option (merge tags) you will see a list with all available tags. In this list you will also find your created discount codes.
Select the preferred discount code and it will appear in your email.
