Applying Discount, Coupon, or Promotion Codes to Stripe Payment Buttons

You can set up coupons in your Stripe account for users to apply during the checkout process when using Stripe Buy Now or Stripe Subscription buttons created with the Simple Membership plugin. This documentation outlines the steps to guide you through the setup process.

Configure a Coupon within Your Stripe Account

  • Log in to your Stripe account.
  • Navigate to the Product Catalog menu.
  • Select the Coupons tab.
  • Click the Create Coupon button to begin creating a new coupon.

Adding Promotion Codes to Your Coupons

Once you’ve created a coupon, you’ll need to add promotion code(s) to it. You can assign one or multiple promotion codes to a single coupon. These codes are what users will enter during checkout to apply the discount.

Edit the coupon you just created, scroll to the Promotion Codes section, and click the Add a Promotion Code button.

For this example, we have added a promotion code named HALFOFF to the coupon. Customers can apply this promotion code during the checkout process.

Enable the Promotion Code Option for the Payment Button

With the promotion code ready for your users, you can enable the promotion code option on your Stripe payment buttons created within the Simple Membership plugin.

When creating or editing a Stripe Buy Now or Subscription button, simply check the Allow Promotion Codes option to enable promo code functionality for that button.

When users checkout using a payment button with promotion codes enabled, they can apply the promo code you configured in your Stripe account.
