Discount code on subscriptions

[Howard L Martinez]

hello, i want to give discount on this Halloween to my customer i see discount code creating option in products but didn't see in subscription . so how i give subscriber a code for discount when they are subscribing for vip membership . i want to give them 25% discount in these days

No restriction will work on subscriptions. I don't think there is a way to limit the coupons just for subs though.

You could alternatively make a "Normal Product" expireable and then it can change members into a secondary group as well and then you can limit the coupons for those products.

In order to do this you would need to be using a renewable product rather than the subscriptions system, as there is no way in which to restrict the code from being used only for a specific subscription, as mentioned above

@Marc Stridgen my subscriptions are renewable . so their is no way to give discount code to those who want to buy vip membership subscription

There is no way in which to give for a specific subscription at present, no. Only if you use a normal product

Why are we not able to apply vouchers / coupons to subscriptions ? 

I want to drive my existing customer base to subscribe by offering them a time limited incentive... 

Am i missing something ?

Because subscriptions are intentionally a cut down simpler version of a renewable product. If you wish to use these kinds of things, you would use a renewable product

Thanks Marc.

It was not clear to me when I was setting this up that it was cut down.

I did spend some time investigating the product renewal system instead.

One thing that I was not sure of is, can product's auto renew without input?

From reading the product pages themselves it appeared that we would have to get the user to manually renew / confirm every month.

The renewal itself works in the same manner as subscriptions.

You can do this off the subtotal and it works towards subscriptions. You just can't target a specific subscription like you do a product, just reduce the total amount.

Indeed, this is the issue here. A specific VIP subscription was looking to be targetted
