What is a discount coupon?
A discount coupon lets you receive an immediate discount for a set amount. Coupon types differ depending on who issues the coupon.
Creator-funded coupons: Coupons where the creator directly covers and issues the discount amount. When this coupon is used, your revenue is settled based on the sale price minus the coupon amount. Only subscribers to your channel can receive these coupons.
POSTYPE-funded coupons: Promotional coupons where POSTYPE covers the discount amount. These are coupons issued directly by POSTYPE. When this coupon is used, the coupon amount is not deducted from the creator’s revenue.
Creating coupons
Any creator who operates a channel can create coupons. You can configure coupons in different ways by setting the discount method, discount period, and discount scope.
You can create coupons by going to [Studio] > [Coupons] > clicking the "Create new coupon" button.
For team channels, only the channel owner and admins can create or manage coupons.
1. Set the coupon name
This is the coupon name that will be shown to subscribers. Please keep it short and clear within 20 characters.
2. Set the discount
This step determines the benefit level of the coupon.
Discount method: You can choose between a percentage (%) discount and a fixed amount (P) discount.
Minimum purchase amount: The coupon is only applied when the purchase amount is above a certain threshold. If you leave this blank, the coupon can be used immediately with no minimum amount.
Maximum discount amount: For percentage discounts, you can set an upper limit for the discount amount. For example, even if the discount is 10%, you can limit it so that only up to 5,000P is applied.
3. Set the coupon type
This step decides which posts or requests the coupon can be used for.
Scope
Entire channel: The coupon is applied to all posts or requests in your channel.
Specific items: You can apply the coupon only to specific posts you select. Use the [Import from channel] button to choose the posts or requests you want to apply it to. Only posts or requests that are in the published state can be selected.
Select type
You can select only 1 between posts and requests.
When you click the "Import from channel" button, you can select the posts or requests to apply the coupon to.
-
A specific-item coupon can be applied at the same time to multiple posts or requests of that type.
Example) Coupon A: can be applied simultaneously to Post 1, Post 2, and Post 3
You can only apply coupons to posts that are published as paid and set to public, or to requests that are currently being sold as paid.
After you finish selecting targets in [Import from channel], you can preview the coupon-applied price for each target under the "Select type" section.
By combining scope and type, you can create a total of 4 types of coupons.
Scope / Type |
Post |
Request |
|---|---|---|
Entire channel |
All posts published in my channel |
All requests published in my channel |
Specific items |
Applied only to posts I select |
Applied only to requests I select |
4. Set the period
You can set both the period during which subscribers can receive the coupon, and the period during which it can be used. All periods are set in days.
Issuance period: The period during which subscribers can receive the coupon. You can enter the start and end dates directly, or quickly set them using the period buttons. You can set up to 1 year from the time you create the coupon.
-
Validity period: The period during which the issued coupon can be used. You can set this in days; if you do not specify it separately, the coupon can be used only until the end date of the issuance period. You can set up to 1 year. For smoother budget management, we recommend setting it to less than 3 months.
If you set it in days: Each person who receives the coupon will have a different validity period depending on when they received it.
If you set it the same as the issuance period: Everyone who receives the coupon will have the same validity period and can only use it until the end date of the issuance period.
5. Set the quantity
This step sets the total number of coupons and the maximum number that each subscriber can receive.
Coupon quantity: If you set this to Unlimited, coupons will be issued without limit. If you want a first-come, first-served event or want to control your budget, enter the total quantity manually.
Maximum number per person: Sets the maximum number of coupons a single person can receive. To prevent duplicate receipt per person, we recommend setting this to 1. You can set it from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 200.
6. Final check and create
Once you have finished all settings, do a final check in [Preview coupon]. Issued coupons cannot be edited. After carefully checking in [Preview coupon], click the [Create] button.
Stopping a coupon
You can stop issuing a coupon by clicking the "Stop" button. Even if issuance is stopped, users who already received the coupon can still use it within the validity period. Once a coupon has been stopped, you cannot change its status back to active, so please double-check before stopping it.
