Redeeming the Coupon at the Point of Sale
Please note: To generate a barcode, you can enter the coupon code into a barcode generator of your choosing.
When creating scannable coupons, we recommend using 1D barcodes. This will enable the easiest, fastest, and most reliable scanning.
Coupons can also be generated in common formats such as QR Code or Code-128. While longer barcodes will work, to increase reliability and speed of scanning, keep the barcodes short, such as 10 characters. It is also recommended to test out the barcode by scanning it at the point of sale before printing the coupon or sharing the coupon code widely.
Coupons behave like regular manual cart discounts and will apply according to the stacking rules when combined with an automated discount.
Applying a Coupon by Barcode Scan
In the SellTreez POS, scan a coupon as you would a product barcode. Any subsequent cart item added will have the cart discount applied if the stacking rules allow it to be. If you have items in the cart already before scanning the coupon, they will also have the coupon applied if applicable.
Apply Manually in the Point of Sale
To apply a coupon manually, such as when a physical barcode scanner is unavailable, you can use the Discounts menu to enter the code by hand.
In SellTreez POS, press the Discount button
Press the “COUPONS” tab, enter the coupon code and press “APPLY COUPON”
The coupon will now show on applicable ticket lines as a cart discount
