After you have created a coupon code in the “Coupon Codes” list, you can now have coupon lines generated within it. In the following, we explain how to create these coupon lines. To do so, we are in an already created coupon code that is intended to contain value coupons worth 10.00 €.
How we created this and which value types are available to you when creating coupon lines is explained under Creating Coupon Codes.

Step 1: Generate coupon lines

When you have opened a coupon code, you will find the “Generate Coupon Lines” fasttab in the menu bar at the top.If you click on this, a window with the heading “Generate Coupon Codes” opens.There, the settings for the coupon lines to be generated later are made.

Step 2: Make configuration settings

First, you must make the settings for configuring the coupon lines there.In the “Prefix” field, you can choose a prefix, that is, certain letters or numbers that appear at the beginning of the coupon codes.In the “Suffix” field, a suffix that appears at the end of the coupon code can be chosen.Using the “Number of Random Characters” field, you can specify how many randomly generated digits should be inserted between the prefix and the suffix.In addition, in the “Number of Coupon Lines” field, you can determine how many coupon lines should be generated.In our example, we choose the following settings for the configuration:
  • Prefix: WE
  • Suffix: RT10
  • Number of Random Characters: 3
  • Number of Coupon Lines: 10
This gives us 10 coupon lines containing coupon codes that begin with “WE” and end with “RT10”. Between them are 3 randomly generated digits.

Step 3: Make settings for the coupon type

Now make the settings for the coupon type. Depending on which value type you specified when creating the coupon code in the list of the same name, you can now make the settings for the coupon type.
Fields that do not match your previously selected value type are greyed out and cannot be filled in.
For amount or value coupons, that is, when “Amount” was selected as the value type, you can specify the value amount for the coupon in the “Amount” field.If “Percent” was selected as the value type, you can now specify the discount as a percentage for the coupon lines in the “Discount” field.In the “Item Number” field, you can enter the item number of the item to be added free of charge to the order when the coupon code is used. This only works if “Item” was previously specified as the value type.A detailed explanation of the value types can be found in the context of Creating Coupon Codes.Since our example is intended to involve value coupons worth 10.00 €, we enter the number “10.00” in the “Amount” field.

Step 4: Set conditions

Now you can specify certain conditions for using the coupon codes in the “Conditions” menu.However, this only works if these conditions match the previously specified coupon type.In the “From Amount” field, you can specify an amount from which the coupon code can be used. Ultimately, this is a minimum order value for the generated coupon lines.The maximum number of uses can be limited in the “Max. Number of Uses” field. This way, a coupon code can only be used as often as entered there.
Since we want to create a value coupon in our example, these fields are greyed out and cannot be used. This is because value coupons are more of a means of payment, which is why conditions are not intended for them.

Step 5: Make validity settings

Finally, you should adjust the validity of the coupons.Using the “Start Date” field, you can specify the date from which the coupon code is valid. In contrast, in the “End Date” field, you can specify the date up to which the coupon code may be used.This allows you, for example, to limit promotional periods.With the “Activate Generated Coupons” checkbox, you can specify whether the generated coupons should be activated directly for the web shop.If this is activated, the coupons are activated directly. However, if this is not activated, the generated coupon lines are set to the “open” status and can be activated manually later.In our example, however, we leave these fields empty, as we do not want to set a time limit for the value coupons. In addition, we do not yet activate the checkbox, as the coupons are only to be activated manually upon issue to the customer.

Step 6: Generate and check coupon lines

After you have made all the settings according to your wishes, generate the coupons by clicking “OK” at the bottom.This generates the coupon lines and automatically closes the window.After the window closes, you are back in the created coupon code and can check the generated coupon lines and, if necessary, release them manually.
