Creating Coupons For Promotions or to Sell Music at Gigs

by | Mar 20, 2020 | Documentation and Tutorials

Coupons allow you to offer discounts on the products sold on your products to certain customers. There are three main ways to use Coupons in MooTunes:

  • Creating a general use coupon to post on your socials or email to a mailing list
  • Creating multiple single-use coupons to give our or sell at gigs
  • Emailing Store Credit to a particular email address, for example if you run out of coupons to sell, but still want to make a sale.

Unlike other services with MooTunes you can create unlimited coupons for free.

Is It Really Free? What About Your Revenue Share?

We still take a revenue share on these transactions, but only on the amount the customer has paid.

If a coupon gives the customer 20% off a $10 (exc. GST) order, our revenue share will be on the $8 the customer spent – that’s $0.80 as opposed to $1.00.
