Discount Code - Time/Date range and deletion
c
creativeflairmarketing
Heya, I'm launching a new product. As part of my automated funnel, I would like to make it so that I can set a date range or time limit on a discount code. For example, if someone views a video of mine, then they have 5 days to decide whether or not to purchase a course from me. Then the discount ends and it gores back to full price. It is also really important that we have somewhere where we can see all discount codes which have been set up previously, the settings for each and the ability to delete them so they are no longer valid. Esty do this in their seller area which works well. Otherwise you could get people adding your discount codes to other websites and taking advantage of it and with no way to delete them this is an issue.
Thanks so much!!! :)

Great to hear your perspective, Silvio Perfetto! I have a few more questions for you:
- What types of products or services would you like to apply the scheduled price changes to?
- How frequently do you anticipate needing to schedule these price changes?
- Would you like notifications or reminders about upcoming scheduled price changes?

Jacob Choi-Durham Digital products, course, and membership. In my case it would be digital products mostly. I would use this feature at least once a month. Notifications when the discount period begins would be helpful.

Coupon Expiry
joyeneghalu
I should be able to set an expiry date for my coupons so they expire automatically instead of going to delete it myself.

Hey joyeneghalu, thanks for your feedback! I have a few more questions for you:
- What is the typical duration you would like to set for coupon expiries?
- Would you like to receive notifications before a coupon expires?
- Do you need any reporting or analytics on expired coupons?

Hello Jacob Choi-Durham, It can be as short as 1 hour and as long as forever.
If I set an email sequence and leads are supposed to get a freebie with a coupon code, considering I am driving traffic to that sequence, it will be set to 'forever', unless I manually stop it or shorten the duration myself.
Do you understand the scenario above?
- Receiving a notification before a coupon expires will be a nice-to-have. Maybe to serve as a reminder in case I want to make adjustments.
- Reports on how many times the coupon code was used and details of those who used it will be fine. Incase I want to upsell something, It will be great to have access to this data.

Great to hear your perspective, creativeflairmarketing! I have a few more questions for you:
- What specific criteria should trigger the expiration of a discount code (e.g., time limit, number of uses)?
- How would you like to be notified or informed about the expiration or deletion of a discount code?
- Are there any specific reporting or analytics features you would like to have regarding the usage of discount codes?

Jacob Choi-Durham Hiya, thank you for the reply! Really appreciate it.
Ideally having an area within the pro account where you can clearly see which discounts i currently got live at the moment and the criteria for each such as the date created, type of discount (amount or percentage), the set expiry date. Then options to extend, edit or dupliate a discount code.
Then there is the more complex criteria I'm looking for which is a time limit. So the trigger would be if someone visits a product page, they have X days to take advantage of that offer before it expires and the product goes back up to full price. Ideally with a countdown shown on the page so they are aware of the timelimit.
You could send an email to notify about code changes.
Yes any reporting on these features would be great such as number of uses and the income generated due to each discount or offer page.
Also have you thought about adding in funnel pages to the product?

Great to hear your perspective, luludrake! I have a few more questions for you:
- What specific features from Etsy's scheduling system do you find most useful?
- How frequently do you plan to schedule sales and promotions?
- Are there any specific metrics or reports you would like to see related to scheduled promotions?
