Coupons
Coupons allow merchants to offer discounts on various items or costs related to an order. Once you have created your coupon, merchants can display the coupon code on their web site (usually near the Buy Now button) that invites the customer to enter the code during the purchase process (at checkout). You can also generate Campaigns within UltraCart (covered later) which will generate random coupon codes so they can be used only by a single Email recipient (once).

In addition to the suppression configuration field listed above there is another on located in the first tab of the legacy screen branding themes editor, which allows for selective suppression of the coupon field based upon the screen branding theme. |
Auto Apply Coupons
You can automatically apply coupons to a customer's order to provide them discounts. This feature makes it easy to trigger promotional discounts without requiring the customer to enter a code. Please note that customer only receives one level of coupons. A level can have more than one coupon added by separating multiple coupon codes with commas.
Recommended Coupon Types:
- Tiered percent off subtotal
- Tiered dollar off subtotal
...
- Subtotal based coupon (this means that when the customer hits the required subtotal the coupon will be applied to the cart automatically)
- Based on an item coupon, (IF the customer purchases a specific item apply coupon to the order)
In this example we are using item BONE_PACK to apply the coupon. When this item is added to the cart the coupon assigned AUTOBONEPACK will automatically apply to provide the customer with a discount on the item.
