The note “The redeemed coupon expires in xx:xx:xx hours” will appear. The countdown will count down from your determined time until 00:00 minutes.

Other Functionalities

You can also include an activated coupon in your order form by attaching the parameter “gs_code=XXX” (XXX = The title of your coupon) to the link of your order form. After that it will not be necessary anymore for the end customer to enter the coupon in the order form.

A link to such an order form may look like this:

The advantage is, that you will receive fewer customer inquiries by customers who have forgotten to redeem the coupon code in the order form.

Artificial Shortage

With artificial shortages you generate an additional purchase incentive. Limit the number of uses (e.g., "The first 50 customers receive 10 € discount") or define an expiration date (e.g., "This voucher expires on 31.05.2017").

In this example, we reduced the number of uses to 50 and defined an expiration date (red-bordered):
