Set promotion codes so a customer gets repeat promotion codes after purchasing. 

Overview

Encourage repeat business with a "thank you" promo promotion code. Once your customer buys the required minimum, they'll not only receive a % discount on the promotional product, but they'll also get a NEW promo code emailed to them.
This means they can return to purchase more of the same products at the promotional price, without having to meet the minimum quantity again.

How do

...

repeating promo codes work? 

  1. You specify the product(s), the discount, and the minimum qty required. 
  2. You spread the word about your nifty new promo.
  3. Your customer purchases the required quantity of eligible product(s), and applies the promo code at checkout. 
  4. Your customer receives an order confirmation email as usual, but this one includes a thank you message and a new, randomly-generated promo code!
  5. The new code entitles your customer to the same discount on the same products, but they don't have to purchase the minimum quantity they bought the first time around.
  6. Your customer becomes a happy, repeat customer. (thumbs up)
     

The repeating discount promotion is no trickier to set up than a normal product discount promo. The only difference is the ability to specify the number of days the repeat code is valid for.  

You can either set the second promo code to be valid until the main promotion expires, or have the second code only valid for a set number of days from the customer's first order.

Info

Your site must be running version 3.95+ in order to take advantage of this feature.

 Follow this guide to set-up your own repeating promo code.

  8. Days Repeat Codes are Valid For
    • To have repeat promo codes expire when the main code does, leave this field at the default value (0). 
    • To set a shorter usage window, enter the number of valid days for the repeat code. Keep in mind that once the main code expires, so will the repeat code, even if the specified number of days hasn't passed.
