This guide will help you create a Coupon campaign that works for your brand. Use this app if you want users to get a coupon code or voucher, then redeem it either in-store or online.
Create a Coupon
From the Campaigns page, select the template type – Landing Pages for the standard campaign, Popups or Embeds for pre-made templates to be embedded in your website.
Then choose Coupon below.
Add a Title
Next, add a title or name for the campaign, then click “Set me up”.
Entry Dates, Entry Methods, and Voucher Settings
On the Edit screen, you can select the dates and times that your campaign will be active (start and end times automatically sync to the local timezone associated with your active browser). Here you can also set the entry restrictions.
Next, select the Voucher expiration type and date, voucher code type, number of available vouchers, and voucher visibility (on screen).
*If you have chosen to upload a list of custom codes, save your settings, then refresh the page. “Custom Codes” will appear in the left navigation under Customize
Customize
Clicking Customize in the left navigation will take you to the “builder”. Here you can you can add backgrounds, images, videos, and customize the campaign’s form and share dialogue. For tips and tricks on using the Customize section, check out our blog site.
You can switch between the pages you are customizing from the left navigation menu.
If your campaign is configured to start in the future, all users that visit the URL will be directed to the Pre-Start Page. Most admins use the default, “Please check back later. The promotion you are trying to access hasn’t started yet”, because often times campaigns are not promoted until they are ready to accept entries, so users generally never see the Pre-Start Page.
When you Enable the Fan-Gate, you can ask users to first like your Facebook Business Page before they enter the promotion (due to Facebook’s platform policies, you cannot require or incentivize this action).
Customizing the Voucher
By selecting the Voucher Page in the Customize section and clicking on the Voucher Element, you can choose whether or not to display the expiration date.
By clicking the Styles tab while the Voucher element is selected, you can choose to display the QR code for redemption, or just the voucher code, and adjust the spacing on the voucher.
Select the Voucher Utility Bar element to enable or disable the Redeem, Print, and Email buttons.
Elements
By clicking Elements in the left navigation, you can add images, videos, text, or even design creative with the Canvas element.
You can add an image element to upload your creative content to the Entry Page.
*Notice the “Now Editing: Version 1” in the upper right corner. Versions gives you the ability to upload and schedule different images in the same image element.
Customizing the Form Fields
While in the Customize section, click on the Form element itself to add or edit form fields.
Click “Add Form Field” in the menu on the left to add text fields, drop-downs, radio buttons, check-boxes, and social media follow buttons.
Once a user has successfully entered, they will be directed to the Post Entry page. The Post Entry Page acts as confirmation that the user has successfully entered and gives users the opportunity to gain bonus entries for referrals (if enabled).
You can customize the share options by clicking on the Share Element.
Custom Coding
By clicking Code in the Customize section, you can access the HTML, CSS section (on Advanced plans or higher) or the Javascript section (on the Power plan) to add custom coding. *Clicking Code with an element selected will open the HTML editor for that element.
Share Dialogue
Exit out of the Customize section and visit Sharing in the campaign’s main left navigation to customize the shared title, description, and/or image. *This will apply to Facebook, Twitter, and anywhere that recognizes open graph share dialogue.
Official Rules
Clicking Advanced then Rules will take you to the campaign’s rules section where you can paste or type in the official rules, or add a URL to link to the campaign’s rules.
Paste Official Rules (Windows-Ctrl V or Mac-Command V)

Once your campaign is setup and customized, click Publish on the Overview page, or turn off Admin-Only Mode at the bottom of the Edit page. Your campaign is now live and ready to accept entries!
