How to Create a Buy One, Get One Coupon

How to Create Coupons?

5. Create a Brief Descriptive Name for the discount such as "Buy a Sandwich, get a second 50% off".

6. A Coupon Code can be used to search for the coupon by the customer.  This can be used with your print menu to make the coupons easy to find. Note: It is good to use something short here so it is easy for customers to type in!

8. Enter the Amount of Discount and you can choose either a percentage discount or a dollars off discount from the Choose Discount Type drop down. Note: To offer a free item just select percentage off and 100%.

9. If you only want the coupon to apply to a certain type of order, for example if the coupon is only for Pickup, you can deselect the other options.

• Restricting the coupon to customers who have spent a certain number of dollars.

• Customers who's current order has a pre-coupon subtotal greater than or equal to a certain amount.
