Creating Coupons

A coupon groups one or more codes under shared settings — discount type, usage limits, and expiry. You create the coupon once, then generate as many codes as you need.

Create a coupon

You can create a new coupon from several places in the admin:

• Click + New Coupon in the Coupons tab toolbar
• Select Create New Coupon from the coupon dropdown inside a discount rule
• Select Create New Coupon from any Dino Coupon Applied targeting field

All three open the same New Coupon modal. Fill in the details:

| Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | Coupon Code | The code customers enter at checkout (e.g. SUMMER20). Auto-uppercased. | | Coupon Type | Standard (one code, unlimited or limited uses), Bulk Pool (generate many unique codes), or URL Token (auto-apply via link) | | Linked Discount | Optionally link the coupon to an existing discount rule |

Click Create Coupon to save, or Cancel to discard.

Create coupons inline

When you're editing a discount rule and need a new coupon, the dropdown's "Create New Coupon" option lets you create one without leaving the wizard.

Coupon types

| Type | Use case | |------|----------| | Standard | One code shared publicly — e.g. WELCOME15 on your homepage | | Bulk Pool | Generate hundreds of unique codes for email blasts or partner distribution | | URL Token | Auto-apply discount via a shareable link — see URL Auto-Apply |

Add coupon codes

Once a coupon exists, you can add codes:

Individual codes

For Standard coupons, the coupon code itself is the redemption code. Edit the coupon to change it.

Per-customer redemption caps

The coupon types describe how codes are distributed — they do not encode per-customer redemption limits. To cap how many times one customer can redeem a discount, edit the linked rule and set its Per-customer limit field (Trigger panel). The cap is enforced at checkout regardless of which coupon type triggered the rule.

Bulk generation

For Bulk Pool coupons, click the gear icon on the coupon row and select Generate to create unique codes. You specify the quantity and codes are generated with the coupon code as a prefix (e.g. SUMMER20-A8K2X9).

Edit a coupon

Click the gear icon on any coupon row and select Edit to open the Edit Coupon modal. Changes are only saved when you click OK — clicking Cancel discards any changes.

In the Edit Coupon modal you can:

• Copy the coupon code to clipboard
• Change the linked discount rule
• View pool stats and generation history (for Bulk Pool coupons)
• Archive the coupon

Unsaved changes warning

If you've changed the linked discount and try to archive, Dino Discounts will ask you to confirm — unsaved changes would be lost.

Managing codes

Export

Use Export Table CSV to download all coupons in the current view, or Full Export ZIP for every code across all coupons. This is useful for sending code lists to email platforms or distribution partners.

Find a code

Type a code or prefix into the Find Coupon search bar and click Find Coupon to open the search results modal. The modal shows up to 50 matching codes at a time — click any row to expand its full details (used at, used by, generated date, order number). Click Load more to fetch additional pages of results.

This is useful when a customer contacts support about a code and you need to quickly check its status.

Generation history

For bulk-pool coupons, every code generation run is tracked as a numbered batch. The batch number is a per-coupon sequence (1, 2, 3...) so Batch #1 is always the first generation run for that coupon.

Open a coupon to see its Generation History table:

| Column | What it shows | |--------|-------------| | Batch | Per-coupon batch number (1, 2, 3...) | | When | Date and time of generation | | Who | Which admin user generated the codes | | Codes | How many codes were created in this batch | | Exported | Whether this batch has been downloaded | | Download | Download a CSV of just the codes from this batch | | Download with info | Download a CSV with additional metadata (code, batch number, usage count) |

After downloading, the batch is marked as exported so you can track which batches have been distributed.

Bulk actions at the bottom let you Download All or Download All with Info across every batch in the coupon.

Batch numbers in exports and search

Batch numbers appear consistently everywhere — in the Edit Coupon modal, in CSV exports, and in Find Coupon search results.

Usage tracking

Each code tracks:

• Total redemptions — How many times it's been used
• Remaining uses — Based on the coupon's usage limit
• Last used — When the most recent redemption occurred

The Coupons table has a Used column showing each coupon's total redemptions at a glance — for bulk-pool coupons this is the sum across every code in the pool, and for single-code and URL-token coupons it's that code's own redemption count. A redemption is counted once an order using the code reaches a paid status (processing, completed, or on-hold) — not when the code is merely applied to a cart.

This data appears in the Coupons tab and can be exported for reporting.
