Promotion Codes (Discounts)
Instructions
You can create promotion codes and let customers enter them on the Checkout Session page to get a discount on the product / service they are buying.
To activate promotion codes:
Go to Product Catalogue -> Coupons in your Stripe dashboard
Create a new coupon by clicking on the button highlighted below
Create your coupon and add a Code
When creating a Checkout Session with the plugin, set the ‘Enable Coupons’ field to ‘yes’
The user will now have the option to add a promotion code that is linked to the coupon you created in the Stripe Checkout Session.
Important: the discount will NOT be split evenly (or pro-rated) between the seller and the platform. The seller will effectively lose out by giving the discount, while your marketplace will get the same amount.
For example, let’s say a seller on your platform is selling a product for $100 and your platform takes a 20% platform fee. If a coupon that provides a 10% discount is used:
The customer will pay $90 instead of $100
Your platform will still get 20% of $100 (so $20)
The seller will get $70
