Create and use Stripe coupons

What are coupons?

Coupon marketing is a strategy that uses discounts and other incentives to encourage consumers to make purchases. Digital coupons can be redeemed online or in-store, and they typically offer a percentage discount, free shipping, or other type of bonus. 

Partnero and Stripe integration allows you to connect and synchronize coupons between Stripe and Partnero. There are a few options:

1. Create coupons on Partnero and sync with Stripe.
2. Create coupons on Stripe and sync with Partnero.
3. Import existing Stripe coupons to Partnero.

Let's explore each option below.

Integrate Stripe

In order to use the coupon functionality, you'll have to integrate Stripe first. Please follow the instructions in this article to connect your Partnero and Stripe accounts.

This option allows you to create new coupon codes directly on Partnero. After the codes are created, they are automatically synced with your Stripe account.

3. Click New Coupon and select New Stripe coupon from the dropdown:
4. Set up the desired coupon structure and click Create.
   
   You will see a notification that the coupon was created successfully on both, Partnero and Stripe.
   
   Bear in mind that the coupon and promotion codes are not editable except for the coupon name, coupon metadata, and promotion code metadata. 
5. Open the Coupons section on Stripe - you should see the newly created coupon there as well.

Create coupons on Stripe and sync with Partnero

This option enables you to create new coupon codes on Stripe and sync them with your Partnero account.

Once you integrate Stripe and Partnero, Stripe will send all required data to Partnero automatically. This means that if you create a coupon on Stripe, it will automatically be synced with Partnero and appear under Program > Coupons.
