Manual vs AutoLocationInstructions
ManualIn StoreScan Search for the coupon code and apply it to the transaction
Note: you can also relabel a coupon to create a scannable UPC
ManualOnlineThe customer enters the coupon code at checkout
Auto ApplyIn StoreAfter all eligible items have been scanned into the POS and the remaining coupon conditions have been met, the coupon will automatically appear in the POS and discount the item(s)
Auto ApplyOnlineAfter all eligible items have been added to cart and the remaining coupon conditions have been met, the coupon will automatically appear at checkout and discount the item(s)


Note: coupons will only work if they haven't expired, if they exist for that store, and if they are in an active promotion.



Example: an in store transaction with a coupon applied


Example: a web order with a coupon auto applied




Troubleshooting

  • Potential reasons a coupon may not work include:
    • if the promotion is not active
    • if the coupon is expired (past its end date)
    • if no eligible items have been scanned
    • if not enough eligible items have been scanned 
    • if the coupon requires a customer account, and no customer has been added to the transaction
    • if the coupon has usage limits, and the customer has already redeemed it
    • if the coupon has min / max transaction requirements that haven't been reached yet
    • if the coupon ignores discounted items, and the eligible items have already been discounted (by another promotion, price code discount, or a manual price change in the POS)
  • If an auto apply coupon isn't appearing automatically, add and remove a customer from the transaction.
  • If an auto apply coupon still isn't appearing automatically, it can be manually added to the transaction in the POS for troubleshooting.
  • If a manually added coupon shows FREE in the POS, not all conditions have been met and no discount has applied. Click "More Info" to see a description of the coupon settings and the reason it hasn't applied.

    Example: More Info for a coupon in the POS
  • If the coupon is not in an active promotion or the current store, manually adding it in the POS will popup a warning message. The coupon can be applied by clicking "Ok."


Example: Popup that the coupon is not active for the location
