How Coupons Work at Checkout



Important Behaviors & Limitations


FAQs

Can create free product using coupons?

Yes β€” use 100% discount coupon


Can edit or delete coupons later?

Yes β€” you can edit, delete, or view usage history anytime


Can coupon be applied to both one-time and subscription products in the same order?

Yes. Coupons apply to both one-time and recurring products within the same order. For subscriptions, the coupon behavior will follow the configured duration (e.g., one-time, multiple months, or forever).


What happens if coupon is applied to product with multiple quantities?

The discount is calculated based on the total value of that product (quantity Γ— price). For example, if product costs $20 and customer buys units with 10% coupon, the discount applied will be $10 (10% of $100).


Can change coupon after it has already been used?

You can edit certain coupon settings (like name, limits, or validity), but changes will only apply to future uses. Past orders where the coupon was already applied will remain unchanged.


Does the coupon apply on Set-up Fees?

Yes. Coupon applies on set-up fees in case of subscription products.


Which coupon configurations are not supported with PayPal?

The following configurations are not supported with PayPal:
1. Subscription setting with defined number of months instead of 'Forever' does not work with PayPal. It would charge for the entire duration of the subscription rather than the defined months.

2. A coupon that changes the order value to $0 i.e. it's a 100% OFF coupon or an amount based coupon that makes the final order to be $0, doesn't work with PayPal if subscription products are part of the checkout.
