How to Create a Single-Use Coupon in PhotoBiz ECommerce

Single-use coupons allow you to offer a discount that can only be redeemed one time, making them ideal for client-specific promotions, complimentary items, or controlled offers. You can apply a single-use coupon to almost any item sold through PhotoBiz ECommerce, including prints, products, services, packages, scheduler items, and digital images. This guide walks you through how to create a coupon that can only be used once and apply it to specific items or groups of items.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure:

You are logged into your PhotoBiz account.
The item(s) you want the coupon to apply to already exist in your Ecommerce price list.
You know whether the coupon should apply to:
- A single item
- A group of items
- An entire order

STEP ONE

Log into your PhotoBiz account and click ECOMMERCE in the left-side menu.

STEP TWO

Mouse over PAYMENTS at the top center of the ECommerce control panel, then click COUPONS from the dropdown menu.

STEP THREE

Click the NEW COUPON button to create a new coupon code.

STEP FOUR

Choose the type of coupon you want to create, based on how the discount should work:

Percentage Discounts (example: % Off Single Item, % Off Total Order)
Dollar Discounts (example: $ Off Single Item, $ Off Group of Items)
Buy One Get One (optional, if applicable to your promotion)

Click the appropriate option, then click CONTINUE.

STEP FIVE

Set up the coupon details:

Discount Code: Enter the code your client will use at checkout.
Description: Optional internal note for your reference.
Begin Date / Expiration Date: Set when the coupon becomes active and when it expires.
Max Number of Uses: Enter 1 to make the coupon single-use.
Discount Amount: Enter the dollar or percentage amount for the discount.
Min Order Price / Max Order Price: Optional limits, if needed.

Once all details are entered, click CREATE COUPON.

STEP SIX

If your coupon applies to specific items:

Select Specific Items.
Choose the item type (Products, Services, Scheduler, Packages, Prints/Digital Images).
Select the item(s) the coupon should apply to.
Use ADD or REMOVE to adjust selections as needed.

Save your changes to finalize the coupon.

What Clients Will Experience

Clients will enter the coupon code during checkout. Once the coupon is redeemed, it becomes invalid and cannot be used again. If the coupon applies to specific items, only those items will be discounted, and clients can still purchase additional items at regular price in the same order.

Helpful Notes

Only one coupon code can be used per order.
Single-use coupons are ideal for:
- Client-specific discounts
- Referral rewards
- Complimentary prints or products
- Limited promotions
Coupons apply only to purchases made through:
- Ecommerce
- Scheduler
- Client Galleries
Coupons do not apply to Invoices or Form Payments.
