> **Internal use only.**

Coupons can be created and managed from **Admin → Coupons**. Coupons are currently applied at checkout only.

## Creating a Coupon

Click **Create Coupon** and fill in the following fields:

- **Code** — The code customers will enter at checkout. Codes are stored in uppercase and must be unique. Letters, numbers, and hyphens are recommended.
- **Type** — One of three discount types:
  - `percent` — Percentage discount. Set *Value* to the percentage (e.g., `20` for 20% off).
  - `fixed` — Fixed dollar discount. Set *Value* to the amount in cents (e.g., `5000` for $50 off).
  - `free` — Covers the full charge. Value is ignored.
- **Value** — The discount amount (percentage or cents, per type above). Set to 0 for free-type coupons.
- **Max Uses** — Optional. Maximum number of times this coupon can be used. Leave blank for unlimited uses.
- **Covers Domains** — If checked, the discount also applies to domain registration costs at checkout. If unchecked, the discount applies to the plan fee only.

## Toggling a Coupon

Any coupon can be activated or deactivated. Deactivated coupons are rejected at checkout even if they haven't reached their usage limit. Use this to quickly disable a coupon without deleting it.

## Viewing Coupon Usage

The Coupons list shows each coupon's current use count alongside its limit. You can also see coupon history on individual account pages — this shows which coupon was applied, when, and whether it was later removed.

> **Note:** Coupons cannot currently be applied to post-signup billing. If a customer needs a recurring discount, use balance adjustments (credits) as an alternative.
