Use Cases

Third party apps can use coupons to help site owners improve brand loyalty, increase customer engagement and incentivize customer purchases on Wix sites. Coupons can be set to activate and expire automatically, and to deactivate after a maximum amount of uses, so that the entire coupon lifecycle is set during creation. Coupons can also be changed both before they become active and while they are active, including deactivation, or deleted.

This article shares possible use cases your app could support, as well as an example flow that could support each use case. You're certainly not limited to what's on this page, but it can be a helpful jumping off point as you plan your app.
