Manufacturer Coupons

A manufacturer coupon code or barcode can be entered in the webshop to get a discount (amount or percentage) on the item or all items in the shopping cart. There is no difference in the features of the store coupon and manufacturer coupon. The difference lies only in the origin of the coupon. The manufacturer coupons are issued by the manufacturer of a product. The customers see no difference between the store and manufacturer coupons.
