Coupon Codes

Since there are so many different configuration options, it might be best to learn more about the feature using examples.  The following examples are provided solely as illustrations of the coupon code functionality and are in no way recommendations. Given antitrust laws, ABA never suggests what promotions or discounts any store should offer. Those business decisions are made solely by each individual bookstore.

In order to create coupon codes for your store, there are several basic steps to know. 

First, in order to create new coupons go to STORE ADMINISTRATION> COUPONS> ADD NEW COUPON

(If you do not see this option, email staff@bookweb.org, and we will activate the module for you)

For every coupon, there must be a name, a code, discount type, and it must be checked active in order to apply to the shopping cart.

(Please note, Agency eBooks will never be compatible with coupon codes, and codes cannot be stacked by your customers.)

Once you have created your coupon, if you find that you cannot view the icons that will allow you to go back and edit the coupon, please use the following fix.  Click the icon to the left of 'Content Management' on your Drupal toolbar, go to 'Flush All Cache', and then 'Flush Cache Tables'.  This will then restore the icons, and allow you to view, edit, delete, or print your coupons.

SCENARIO 1: 40% OFF BLACK FRIDAY/CYBER MONDAY SPECIAL

Then, just click save at the bottom of the page

SCENARIO 2: $10.00 OFF $25.00 OR MORE

SCENARIO 3: ALL STAFF PICKS $5.00

Keep in mind these different scenarios can be modified to fit the needs of your sale.  For instance, If you wanted to do 25% off Staff picks, just apply what you have learned from Scenario 1, to Scenario 3.

SCENARIO 4- $10.00 PROMOTIONAL CERTIFICATES
It is possible to create random promo codes in bulk for individual use at your online store.  Simply follow the format below, and adjust the value of the code to suit your needs.

You can then print out the code to give to your customer. This can also be done with any promotion, & even used as bag stuffers:

You will then have something like this that has your store's logo & all of the conditions of the promo:
