Solution
When your business operates in both inbound and outbound sales workflows, you may provide manual discounts during the sale and also share coupons with customers that can be applied during checkout. In such cases, where multiple manual discounts and coupons are applied to a single subscription, they are applied to the subscription in the following sequence:

Example:
For a Subscription of $20, when given a Manual Discount of 50% and a Coupon of $10, then Coupon Flat Fee will apply first and then percentage-based (Manual Discount) will apply.
Subscription | Amount |
|---|---|
Subscription | $20.00 |
Coupon Flat Fee | ($10.00) |
Manual Discount @ 50% | ($5.00) |
Renewal Amount | $5.00 |
Configuring Multiple Coupons
Click Settings > Configure Chargebee > Billing LogIQ > Select Enable multiple coupons for quotes and subscriptions.
Also, if you want your customers to use multiple coupons from the Self-Serve Portal, navigate from Settings > Configure Chargebee > Checkout and Self-Serve Portal.
Example :
If the checkout total value is $100 and the customer has two coupons, 50% off and 75% off, then the customer will be able to apply both coupons. Even if both coupons are applied, once the checkout value hits $0, the remaining coupon amount or discount percentage will be voided, and the same cannot be used on the next purchase.
Configuring Manual Discounts
Follow the steps below to add manual discounts to quotes and subscriptions in your Chargebee site:
Click Settings > Configure Chargebee > Billing LogiQ.
Select to enable Allow manual discounts for quotes and subscriptions.
Click Update Billing LogiQ.
You can add manual discounts to subscriptions and quotes while creating or editing them. You can even add manual discounts to subscription records on-demand at any point in time.
Note: This step is irreversible. Once enabled, you cannot disable this feature to stop allowing users to add manual discounts.Related Documentation
