Coupon Sets

Coupon sets are useful for campaigns that require many promo codes. Instead of creating hundreds of coupons in Chargebee, you can create a single coupon, configure its behavior, and upload your coupon codes in bulk.

All coupons in a set have the same behavior as the main coupon they are linked to.

Creating Coupon Sets

To generate coupons manually or by using the auto-generate option, follow these steps:

  1. Log into your Chargebee site.

  2. To upload, go to Product Catalog > Coupon Sets > click + Create Coupon Sets.

Auto-generate Coupon Sets

Use the Auto-generate a set option to create the required coupon set automatically.

  1. Enter a value between 1 and 1000 in the Number of Coupons field.

  2. Enter the Prefix, Suffix, and Coupon Set Name. The Coupon Set ID is auto-generated and also editable.

  3. Select a coupon from the Coupon drop-down to link this set to the main coupon.

  4. Click Submit to generate the coupon set with the specified number of coupons.

Upload Coupon Sets Manually

Select Upload Manually to upload a CSV file containing the coupon sets, then click Upload.

Limitations

  • The coupon sets must be in CSV file format and contain only the coupon sets.
  • Coupon codes must be unique and can only contain letters and numbers. Special characters (such as !, @, #, $, %, ^, &, *, (, )) are not allowed.
  • There is a limit of 1000 coupon codes per coupon set. If you need to upload more, create another CSV file and upload the rest as another coupon set.

Coupon Set Behavior

  • Coupon sets mirror the behavior of the main coupon they are linked to.
  • You can apply coupon sets on the sign-up page or through the API.
  • Even if a coupon set is linked to the main coupon, you can still apply the main coupon to subscriptions. To prevent this, ensure the main coupon code is not shared.
  • A coupon code can only be applied to a single subscription and cannot be redeemed more than once.
  • The number of coupon codes that can be redeemed within a coupon set depends on the main coupon's maximum redemption value and redemption count.

Example

If the main coupon's redemption limit is 10 and the coupon set consists of 100 coupon codes, you can only apply 10 coupon codes from the set. You can change the main coupon's redemption limit at any time.

If the main coupon's redemption limit is 10 and it has already been redeemed 9 times, only 1 coupon code from the linked coupon set can be redeemed. You can edit the main coupon's redemption count at any time.

  • When deleting a coupon set, unused coupon codes will be deleted and used codes will be archived.
  • If the main coupon is archived, unused coupon codes will be deleted and used codes will be archived.
