Introducing Coupon Code Generator
Section |
---|
Coupon Code Generator extension introduces simple and convenient way of issuing coupon codes:
The extension enhances the process behind managing and creating coupon codes. With the help of pre-defined email templates, variables and rules, the coupon codes can be generated and sent to a particular customer or customer group in few clicks. Coupon codes usage allows for the sales campaign tracking and issued coupon codes management. |
Getting Around
Section |
---|
Coupon Code Generator comes set up and ready for work with store default values, no additional manupulations needed. The extension introduces its pages to the Marketing section the Magento 2 navigation menu. From here store administrator has an access to the following pages:
These sections are the parts of the Coupon Code Generator "control center". When the extension is configured per administrator's requirements all the management takes place here. In addition to Marketing section the extension introduces its general configuration options to Stores > Configuration > Aheadworks extensions > Coupon Code Generator. This section controls basic extension aspects such as: Email Sender and Email Template. |
Creating rules
Section |
---|
When the extension is installed the first thing administrator wants to do is to create the coupon code rules. The rules will further be used to quickly generate and send the coupon codes. The coupon code rules can be created from Marketing > Coupon Code Generator by Aheadworks > Manage Rules
These active elements of the grid are shared with the Manage Coupon Codes and Generate Coupon(s) for Customers sections that will be covered later in this readme. To create a rule click button. Rule InformationFirst two blocks of the section, General Configuration and Coupon Usage, should be familiar, as these come with the native Magento. The third settings block though is new and allows adjusting Code Format. Here store administrator suggested specifying: coupon length, code format, code prefix and suffix, and if the parts of the code shpuld be separated by the dash. ConditionsThis section is similar to the native Magento one. Here store administrator suggested specifying the conditions on which the coupon code can be applied to the shopping cart. ActionsIs another inherited section. Here store administrator decides on the discount type and amount, quantity and quantity step, and how the discount should handle the shipping. In addition, an administrator can add another set of conditions controlling what items the discount should be applied to. Once done setting up the rule store administrator clicks 'Save' button. Now, when the rule is created one can proceed to the Generate Coupons section to issue and send coupons. |
Generating coupon codes
Section | ||
---|---|---|
To generate coupon code with the rule created administrator navigates to Marketing > Coupon Code Generator by Aheadworks > Generate Coupons section. This section is split into two blocks. The first one Generate Coupon for Email allows generating a single coupon code for a particular email address. The second one Generate Coupon(s) for Customers allows generating coupon codes for selected number of customers. Generate Coupon for EmailIn this block store administrator is suggested specifying the coupon recipient's email, coupon code rule created previously, and decides if the notification email should be send to the customer. Once every option covered administrator clicks button to issue and send the coupons.
Generate Coupon(s) for CustomersIn this block store administor is suggested specifying the customer(s) to generate the coupons for. The block comes with the filtering and column management options as the Manage Rules section. Once the required list of customers is found and ticked, store administrator expands the box and decides on the coupon rule and further actions. The coupon codes have been generated and can now be tracked under Marketing > Coupon Code Generator by Aheadworks > Manage Coupon Codes Generating coupons from customer accountIn addition to the dedicated Marketing section, the extension introduces Coupons block to the customer account area of the store backend. Here store administrator can quickly issue and send a coupon code while managing the customer. If Send Email with Coupon checkbox ticked upon next customer account save the notification email will be sent. |
Managing Coupon Codes
Section |
---|
Manage Coupon Codes grid offers an insight on the coupon code performance. The block comes with the filtering and column management options as the Manage Rules section.
In addition, every coupon code issue has the number of uses displayed. As per figure above, we can see that John Doe used the coupon code 4 times, and Jane 3 times. This information may come in handy when estimating the success of the sale campaign. |
Extension settings
Section |
---|
The extension settings can be found under Stores > Configuration > Aheadworks extensions > Coupon Code Generator Here store administrato has an access to the following settings: Email Sender - defines the email from which the coupon code notifications will be send; Email Template - defines the email template which will be send to customer (templates can be found and edited at the FTP of the store under view/frontend/email). |
Newsletter and general notification email variables
Section | |||||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Coupon Code Generator extension allows sending coupon codes with newsletter and general emails automatically. For such purpose the extension comes with a set of variables for email templates. Once an email is sent variables are transformed into corresponding coupon code values. There is a total of five variables.
For example: Variable {{var subscriber.generateCoupon(1, 50%SHIRT)}} will generate a coupon code 50%SHIRT with the Coupon Code Generator rule ID 1 values.
Multiple coupon codes in a single emailTo send multiple coupon codes with a single email the store owner adds as many variables as many coupon codes they want to send. For example: Hello! We want to you know that currently you can get all WATCHES and BAGS from our store with 20% discount. {{var subscriber.generateCoupon(1, WATCH20)}} {{var subscriber.generateCoupon(2, BAG20)}} For watches use coupon code: {{var subscriber.getCouponCode(WATCH20)}}; to get {{var subscriber.getCouponDiscount(WATCH20)}} discount. For bags use coupon code: {{var subscriber.getCouponCode(BAG20)}}; to get {{var subscriber.getCouponDiscount(BAG20)}} discount. Enjoy your shopping! As you can see, variables: {{var subscriber.generateCoupon(1, WATCH20)}} {{var subscriber.generateCoupon(2, BAG20)}} Are used to generate the coupon codes, while variables used later in the template are used to display generated coupon code name (getCouponCode) and discount amount (getCouponDiscount). |
