Coupon Feature Addition
We are pleased to announce the release of the much-anticipated “Coupon” component of Press Publisher. This feature is custom-built for users who set subscription fees for their publications, providing a variety of adjustments that override the default subscription settings. The system allows multiple “Coupon Codes” for maximum flexibility.
The new functionality is also useful for any user, because it can track your web site’s registrations without setting a price. Clever manipulation of the Coupon Codes can even help you track the source of those subscribers.
The settings available for Coupons are virtually identical to those for a “PayPal Subscribe Button” inside PayPal. Since both our system and the subscription feature are linked to PayPal, these settings include:
- A First Introductory Period, Duration and Price
- A Second Introductory Period, Duration and Price
- The final ongoing subscription price – either Monthly or Yearly fees
As noted above, the coupon settings override anything you already have set up in your normal PayPal subscription. (You can check those values in your “Settings” section.)
The new Coupons feature is located under the “Magazine” tab of the CMS. The subscriber sees a new coupon field on the main subscribe page, the resulting subscribe success page, and on the profile page.
We hope you find the new feature useful and, as always, look forward to your feedback.
