Coupons

Coupons are merged with retail discounts in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Commerce, that is why you need to create a coupon and link a discount to a coupon. The following retail discounts can be linked to a coupon: regular discount, mix and match discount, quantity discount and threshold discount.

If customers have a valid coupon code, they can enter it in the shopping cart. Customers can apply only one coupon to the shopping cart. When customers enter a coupon code in the shopping cart in the Sana webshop, a discount linked to a coupon will be triggered and applied to an order.

NOTE

Sana Commerce uses its own coupons functionality, called Discounts, as well as coupons functionality of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Commerce. You can use Sana discounts, only if the Retail functionality is disabled.

If the Retail functionality is enabled, then only the coupons which are available in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Commerce can be applied to a shopping cart.

 

NOTE

To use coupons from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Commerce, the Discounts option must be enabled in Sana Admin: Setup > Marketing > Promotions. Otherwise, the Discount code field, in the shopping cart in the Sana webshop, where the coupon code can be entered, will not be available.

Coupons are not supported by quotes.
