Coupons

You can create customized coupons for your customers to increase your sales and offer them discounts on their purchases. You have full control over the amount, quantity and expiry date of the coupon, which will apply to all galleries with the allow ordering feature activated. Access the Coupons menu within the Sales Panel to manage this feature.

General

Internal name: The Internal name field is where you can assign a name for internal reference. This name will only be visible to you and not to your customers.
Coupon code: This is where you enter the actual code that customers will need to enter into their shopping basket in order to benefit from the coupon discount.
By default, coupons are activated when they are created, but you can deactivate them by moving the activation switch.

General coupon section

Expiration

Here you’ll find tools to set the duration of the coupon.
From: The From field allows you to specify the activation date. If left blank, the coupon will be activated immediately upon creation.
Until: The Until field allows you to set the expiry date of the coupon. If left blank, the coupon will remain valid until manually deactivated.
Usage limit: The Usage limit field allows you to set the maximum number of times a customer can use the coupon within the specified expiry dates. If set to 0, a customer has unlimited usage.

Expiration coupon section

Amount and type

Here you will find options to define the coupon quantity.
Amount: The Amount field can be filled with an absolute value if you choose the Absolute type, which directly subtracts the specified amount. Alternatively, if you choose the Percentage type, the value in the Amount field will represent the percentage discount applied to the customer’s purchases. While the coupon reduces the photographer’s margin, it can be a strategic approach to first raise prices and offer discounts. It’s important to note that Saal Digital’s margin remains unaffected.
Minimum order amount: The Minimum order amount field allows you to set the minimum order value required for customers to apply the coupon. It is important to take this into account and make accurate calculations to maximize the benefit.
You have the option to cover the shipping costs for your customers’ purchases by ticking the shipping checkbox. Please note that this does not affect Saal Prio accounts as they already enjoy free shipping. With a Saal Prio account, neither you nor your customers incur any shipping costs in orders with a minimum value of $20.

Once a coupon has been created, it can be applied to purchases made from any of your galleries with the Allow ordering option activated, as long as the minimum order amount and the specified expiry dates are met.
