Tutorial: Coupons and How to Use Them (Text and Video)

Hi! This tutorial is going to be on what coupons are and how to use them. This applies to both sellers and buyers, so be sure to read my instructions carefully so as not to get confused. Coupons are used for giving your buyers a discount, if you're a seller, and getting a discount on service, if you're a buyer. Coupons are a great new addition to SEOClerks because now people can offer discounts to specific people or users who are maybe a little bit skeptical about your service. It's also great if you're buyer doesn't have enough funds to buy your service. The text and video tutorials are posted below.

Text + Pictures

As a seller, go into your product page and edit your service. You should see an option that says "Create Coupons for this Service" (If you are a buyer, skip to step 5)
Click it and several text boxes should come up. Click the first box that says "Active [] Code"
Type the text for the coupon code you wish to use and the discount (in percent) off of the total order price. For this tutorial, we'll give the user 30% off with the discount code "THISISATEST"
Now save your service by clicking "Submit"
As a buyer, order the service that the discount code applies to and order it. When the payment page comes up, there should be something that says "Discounts and Coupons" and there should be a text box that says "Enter Coupon". Enter your coupon code "THISISATEST"
Hit "Apply"
The discount should now be applied to your order
Now choose your payment method and pay
You've just applied a coupon code to your order! A page that looks something like the one below should come up

How to EMBED your Coupon that you created for your Service into a SINGLE URL:

Let's Say your Service URL was:

https://www.seoclerks.com/Traffic/...n-Traffic-4-LIFE

And you created a 20% Coupon Code for the above Service called: "TwentyOFF"

The SINGLE URL BELOW would AUTOMATICALLY APPLY the 20% Discount to your Gig WITHOUT having to give out your Coupon Code or Display it Publicly:

https://www.seoclerks.com/order?id=7579&coupon=TwentyOFF

Simply Take the Unique Service ID which is Found AFTER the "Category" in the Service URL:

7579/Guarantee-Targeted-Ad-Clicks-for-0-03-CPC-or-Less-on-Real-Human-Traffic-4-LIFE

and Put the Coupon Code TwentyOFF at the End:

https://www.seoclerks.com/order?id=7579&coupon=TwentyOFF

You can even embed your Affiliate ID:

https://www.seoclerks.com/linkin/3764/order?id=7579&coupon=TwentyOFF

I use it on Gigs such as THIS GIG HERE

You'll see this Button:

Where I give Users Access to my Coupon URL after they have Shared or Tweeted about my Gig

Hope this helps,

Thank you so much for posting this. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to do something wrong, and ruin it all. Also, thanks for the comments, because those help me and teach me a lot too. The videos are the best, specially for me, who needs a step by step guide. Now I think that I can work on those coupons for sure.
