After a code is created, it is automatically included in a help desk reply. This functionality drastically improves customer service and builds stronger communication with online shoppers.

Backend

The Aheadworks Coupon Code Generator Magento 2 extension is available under Marketing -> Coupon Code Generator by aheadWorks.

On the Manage Rules screen, there is a grid with coupon rules. You can apply up to 7 filters and sorting options for almost every column to find certain rules. Available columns are:

• Checkbox (you choose rules for applying mass actions here);
• ID (ID of each rule);
• Rule Name (you can view each rule by clicking here);
• Status (each rule status);
• Websites (where it is applied);
• Coupons Generated (quantity of coupons generated via each rule);
• Coupons Used (quantity of applied coupons related to each rule);
• Usage Rate (ratio of two previous columns).

Note that you can rearrange columns order: just drag and drop each column. Besides, it is possible to choose which columns should be displayed or hidden from the grid in the Columns drop-down menu. Another possibility is related to the Export drop-down. Here, the module lets you export data in CSV or Excel XML. As for available actions, they are: Activate, Deactivate, Delete.

Each coupon rule screen is divided into five tabs: Rule Information, Coupon Usage, Code Format, Conditions, and Actions.

Under Rule Information, you can specify the name of a rule, its description, status (Active – Yes or No), websites, and customer groups for which this rule should be applied, as well as the rule priority.

In Coupon Usage, you specify how many times each individual coupon should be used and set its expiration. You can choose 0 to disable limitations or enter any other amount of days to motivate your customers to visit your website and make a purchase.

As for Code Format, this section lets you specify coupon length (without prefix, suffix, and separators) and code format (Alphanumeric, Alphabetical, Numeric). Then, it is a turn of prefix, suffix, and separators (Dash Every X Characters).

The Conditions tab allows setting the conditions for a coupon code to be applied in a shopping cart. The tab has the following look:

As for Actions, first, you specify how to apply the rule: as a fixed amount discount, a percent of product price discount, a fixed amount discount for the whole cart, or “buy X get Y for free”. Then, you set a discount amount and specify maximum quantity the discount is applied to. Note that the next field, Discount Qty Step (Buy X), is related to the “buy X get Y for free” type. Next, you should decide whether to apply the discount to shipping amount, discard subsequent rules, and allow free shipping or not.

Finally, you can specify conditions for cart items to be met to apply the rule. Leave this section blank to use it for all items.

The same options are available when you create a new rule.

Now, we will describe how coupons are generated with Aheadworks Coupon Code Generator for Magento 2 and 1. First of all, you can create a single coupon for email. You should specify recipient email, choose a rule that will be applied for the coupon generation, and tick Send Email with Coupon to Recipient to send a coupon automatically (alternatively, a manual copy/paste delivery via chat or other means is possible).

Using the extension, you can also rely on mass actions. The second part of the Generate Coupons page contains a grid with customers. The grid supports filtering and sorting; besides, you can rearrange the way it looks by moving or hiding columns (27 columns are available). Tick customers you want to whom you want to send coupons and choose “Generate and Send Coupon” from the Actions drop-down.

As for coupon codes management, the module makes it very convenient due to a grid that supports mass actions, offers filtering and sorting options, as well as displays all the necessary details about each coupon code.
