# Coupons

A coupon gives the player a discount at checkout. It works for welcome offers,
date promotions (Black Friday, the server's anniversary), partnerships with
content creators and Discord campaigns.

Everything is in **Store > Coupons**.

## Create a coupon

1. In **Store > Coupons**, click **Create Coupon**.
2. In **Basic Information**, enter the **Coupon Code** (for example
   `WELCOME10`) and the **Coupon Name**, which only you see. The code is saved
   in uppercase and does not change later.
3. In **Discount**, pick the **Discount Type**: **Percentage (%)** or **Fixed
   Amount ($)**, and the value.
4. If you like, limit the coupon:
   - minimum purchase amount;
   - total use limit (for example, the first 300);
   - limit per player (for example, 1 use per player);
   - expiration date;
   - the products it applies to.
5. Save.

An expired coupon stops working on its own. In the list, each coupon shows its
status (**Active**, **Inactive** or **Expired**), the discount, the uses, the
validity and the minimum purchase.

> [!TIP]
> Combine limits for a safe promotion. A Black Friday example: `BLACK20`, 20%
> off, 300 uses in total, 1 per player, expiring on Sunday night. For a welcome
> coupon, 1 use per player is enough.

## Announce on the server

In Minecraft and Hytale stores, check **Announce on the server** when saving:
whoever is playing sees the code, the discount and the validity in the chat.
With **Also as a title on screen**, the announcement shows big in the middle of
the screen. Only an active, valid coupon is announced, and whoever announces
needs the permission to send notices to the server.

## Partner coupon

In **Partner coupon**, the coupon can be linked to a player, like a content
creator. Each sale paid with the coupon becomes a commission for them. The
coupon then shows the partner badge and the nick. See
[Store partners](/en/products/partners/).

## Edit and delete

**Edit** changes everything but the code. On the edit screen, the **Coupon
Status** switch turns the coupon on and off: off, it stops working and can be
turned on again later. **Delete** is final.

> [!NOTE]
> These are the coupons your store gives players. The coupon that discounts the
> Hystore plan is a different one, used when the store is created. See
