Add an introductory discount to a subscription

How to offer a discounted price for the first few renewals of a subscription using Foxy's coupons functionality.

To offer a discounted price for the first few renewals of a subscription, use Foxy’s coupons functionality with a per-customer usage limit. Once the limit is reached, the subscription continues at full price automatically.

How to set it up

  1. 1

    In your Foxy admin, create a coupon with the discount amount or percentage you want to offer.

  2. 2

    Set the limit per customer on the coupon to the number of payments you want the discount to apply to. This limit is based on the customer’s email address.

For example, to offer the first 3 payments at a discounted rate, set the limit per customer to 3. After 3 uses, the coupon will no longer apply and the subscription will bill at full price.

Applying the coupon

Manually: The customer enters the coupon code at cart or checkout.

Automatically: Include the coupon code as a parameter in your add-to-cart link so it is applied without the customer needing to enter it:

&coupon=YOUR_COUPON_CODE

Notes

  • The per-customer usage limit is tracked by email address. If a customer uses a different email address, the limit resets for that address.

  • Coupons can be set to a fixed amount off or a percentage discount. See the coupons documentation for full details on creating and configuring coupons.
