Promotions and discounts

A promo code applies a configured percentage or fixed discount to an eligible purchase. Its selected subscriptions, availability dates and activation limit determine where and when it can be used.

For City Journal, one campaign could reduce the price of a Monthly subscription under the Reporting Plan. The code's validity and the subscription's eligibility both matter.

Choose your task

• Create a promo code — Follow one fictional subscription campaign through the Admin form.
• Understand discount eligibility and limits — Read the campaign conditions and a worked calculation.
• Review a promo code and its usage — Inspect the saved settings and distinguish recorded use from successful payment.

Keep the purpose clear

A promotion discounts an eligible purchase. An invitation is used for an invitation/access flow; a gift involves a purchaser and recipient. Those workflows need their own setup.

Choose the intended subscription before configuring a promotion. Plans, subscriptions and access rules explains how subscriptions belong to Plans and how those Plans select content. A promo record or validation result alone does not establish a paid purchase or content access.
