1. Coupon Type

Coupons can be created in Chargebee to offer discounts on purchases. We currently support two types of coupons:

1. Percentage 

2. Fixed Amount

   

   
   

You can create a coupon (fixed amount/percentage) to be applied to the entire invoice or only to specific items on an invoice(such as selected plans or add-ons).

This can be configured only at the time the coupon is being created. Click here to read more about it.

2. Coupon Duration

The duration of the coupon is also defined at the time the coupon is created. The duration defines how long a discount should apply to a subscription once it’s added.

1. One Time - Applies only one time on the next immediate invoice at the time it’s added.

2. Forever - Discount will be applied until it’s removed from the subscription.

3. Limited Period - Will be applied for a fixed number of months.

Coupon Validity

The validity of a coupon is to determine the expiry of the coupon. Validity can be limited to a specific date (eg; a new discount) or the number of redemptions (eg, first 10 customers).

Note: A coupon code that is once used on a subscription can be used again on the same subscription provided the coupon code is valid. To make coupon codes unique you will need to use Coupon Sets
