Add/Edit Trip Coupon Page

You can configure/control coupon action through following various settings as available. The settings are mainly divided into two tabs.

General

General tab Contains the basic settings to configure the coupon behavior. Setting available are listed below.

Coupon Status
- This setting lets you know if the coupon is still active or valid to be used in the checkout form or not.
Coupon Code
- This is the actual name of the coupon that users have to enter to get a discount.
Discount Type
- This setting can be configured to select either the coupon will give a flat discount or percentage discount when the coupon is used.
Discount Value
- The discount amount can be configured from this option. If you select a flat discount you will need to insert the actual amount such as a 100 $ discount. Or else, if the percentage is selected then the value must be always between 0-100 in percentage accordingly.
Coupon Start Date
- Coupon start date allows you to control when the coupon will begin to be valid to use. Before that, coupons if used, won’t work during checkout.
Coupon Expiry Date
- This setting will allow you to configure when the coupon will be expired or become invalid.

Restrictions

This setting tab will contain the setting to configure restrictions on coupon use such as only to particular trips, or coupon use for the first 100 users, etc.

Restrict Coupon to Trips
- This setting will list the trips created as a select option that can be selected to limit the coupon to be used only to that particular trip and invalid for the other trip. Select none for all trips.
Coupon Usage Limit
- This setting allows you to configure how many number of times the coupon can be used before it becomes invalid. It’s very useful if you are thinking of limiting the use of coupons for e.g. for the first 100 users.

hi, so my intention would be to also “sell” the coupons online, but with your WP Travel engine I can only create “trips”, does this plugin an option to “sell the coupon” like a gift card for exemple.

thanks
