Coupons are great to use on individual transactions when you do not want a discount to appear on the menu screen. Coupons are entered on the menu screen after a transaction ends - you will see a coupon box to enter underneath the Email address box. Learn more on how to redeem a coupon here.
Byte University Tip: Single-use coupons can be sold to locations similar to a gift card - Locations like to give incentives to new employees on their first day or as a treat for a great sales month. Reusable coupons are great for the first-week launch of new stores - you can use marketing tools to disperse coupon code and urge first-time customers to try.
