# Coupons: Discount Codes for Your Offers

> Create discount codes for your offers: percentage or fixed amount, one-time or recurring, with optional expiry dates and redemption limits.

Coupons let you run promotions without changing your prices. You create a code like `LAUNCH20`, share it with your audience, and students enter it at checkout to get the discount. The discounted amount still settles directly in your Stripe account, like every other payment.

## Create a coupon

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Sell > Coupons">
    In your owner dashboard, open **Sell** and click **Coupons** in the sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a code and a discount">
    Pick the code students will type (letters and numbers, like `LAUNCH20`) and choose the discount: a **percentage** off or a **fixed amount** off. Fixed amounts are in your academy's selling currency.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose how long the discount lasts">
    **Once** applies the discount to a single payment. **Forever** keeps applying it to every renewal, which turns a subscription offer into a genuinely discounted membership for as long as the student stays subscribed.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Optionally limit the promotion">
    Set an **expiry date** to create urgency, or a **redemption limit** to cap how many students can use the code. Leave both empty for an open-ended promotion.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## How students use a coupon

Students click through to checkout as usual and enter the code in the **promotion code** field on the Stripe checkout page. The discount is applied before they pay, so the order summary always shows the reduced price.

<Note>
  Coupons apply at checkout. They do not change the price shown on your course pages or offer pages, so your public pricing stays consistent while the promotion runs.
</Note>

## Track redemptions

The Coupons page shows each coupon's redemption count, so you can see which promotions actually convert. Expired and exhausted coupons stop working automatically; you can also archive a coupon at any time to stop new redemptions without affecting discounts already granted.

## Common questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I use a coupon with a subscription offer?">
    Yes. A **once** coupon discounts the first payment only, and the subscription renews at full price. A **forever** coupon keeps the discount on every renewal for the life of the subscription.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What currency are fixed-amount coupons in?">
    Fixed-amount coupons are created in your academy's selling currency. If you plan to change your selling currency, do it before creating fixed-amount coupons: the currency switch is not available while fixed-amount coupons are active, because those coupons would stop applying to checkouts in the new currency.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do discounted sales still incur fees?">
    Yes. The Fayne platform fee and Stripe's processing fee apply to the discounted amount the student actually pays.
