How to use promotion codes

What are promotion codes?

Promotion codes are alphanumeric sequences that can be personalized to specific partners or customers and offer various discounts or incentives. On Partnero, promotion codes are created under specific coupons. Each coupon can have multiple promotion codes. 

Promotion code tracking

Integration is required or us to track promotion codes. There are a few options to do that:

  1. integrate Stripe and create Stripe coupons;
  2. integrate Shopify and create Shopify coupons;
  3. use the WooCommerce Coupons integration;
  4. or create an API integration for coupon tracking.

Once you have integrated and created a coupon, you can proceed to setting up promotion codes.

How to create and customize promotion codes

Promotion codes enable you to customize controls and limits such as eligible partners or customers, first-time orders, minimum order values, expiration dates, and redemption limits. To set up a promotion code:

  1. Go to Coupons under Program.
  2. If you haven't created any coupons yet, follow the instructions in the tracking section of this article to do so.
  3. Click the three dots next to the coupon you'd like to create promotion codes for and click Coupon details:
  4. Switch to the Promotion codes tab:
  5. Click New promotion code.
  6. Promotion codes will inherit the main settings (such as the discount, duration, and redemption limits) from the Coupon it's created udner. However, you can further customize and personalize with the following settings:

    Code: you can enter a unique code name. E.g., if you're planning to share this promotion code with a specific partner, you can use their name. If you leave this field blank, we will generate a random name for you.

    Eligible for first-time orders only: enable to create a promotion code that will be valid for first-time customers only.

    Limit to specific partners: you can assign a promotion code to one or a few specific partners. E.g., if you're working with a social media influencer, you can create a promotion code with their name that will be assigned to them only.

    Limit to specific customers: you can assign a promotion code to one or a few specific customers. This means that the code will not be valid for any other customer.

    Minimum order value: set a minimum spending amount that is required to use the promo code.
