A coupon makes offers easy: "40 EGP off for the first 20 students", or "the course free for students at the centre". The student types it on the payment page, or opens a link with the coupon already applied.
1. Make a coupon
From your academy dashboard → Coupons → + New coupon:
| Field | What |
|---|---|
| Coupon code | English letters and numbers, like NOV40. Or tap Make a random code. |
| Discount type | Percentage % or Fixed amount. |
| Discount | The percentage from 1 to 100, or the amount in EGP. |
| Works on | All courses or Some courses you pick. |
| Most times it can be used | Like 20 for the first 20 students. Leave it empty for no limit. |
| Starts on / Ends on | Cairo time. Leave them empty if it starts now and has no end. |
Each student can use a coupon once.
As you type, you see under the form exactly what the student will pay: "The student will pay 160 EGP instead of 200 EGP for "Physics 3"".
2. Send it to your students
- Copy a link with the coupon: the link opens the course page with the coupon already applied, so the student types nothing.
- Send it on WhatsApp: a ready message with the discount, the course and the link, which you can edit before sending.
3. What the student sees
On "Complete your enrolment", under the price there's Got a coupon? → Apply. Every message says the fix:
| Situation | The student sees |
|---|---|
| Applied | "40 EGP discount applied ✓" and the new total. |
| Wrong code, paused, or not started yet | "That coupon doesn't work. Check the letters." |
| No uses left, or past its end | "That coupon has run out. Carry on without it, or ask (your name) if they have another one." |
| Not for this course | "That coupon isn't for this course. Check it's for the course you have open, or carry on without it." |
| The student used it before | "You've already used this coupon. Carry on without it, or ask (your name) if they have another one." |
Good to know
- A 100% coupon: the course is free for the student, and the button becomes Get it for free, with no payment at all.
- A discount bigger than the price: we warn you, and if you carry on the student gets the course for free.
- Very small amount after the discount? If it's below the smallest amount the gateway accepts, card payment hides for that order only; wallet and InstaPay stay.
- The last use: if two students tap at the same moment on the last use, only one gets it, and the other sees "That coupon has run out".
- Pause a coupon any time and turn it back on. If you delete a coupon that was already used, we pause it instead of deleting it, to keep your accounts right. Any delete has Undo for 10 seconds.
- Coupons are for payments only. To sell the course at the centre or the bookshop, use activation codes.
