Managing Coupons
Pause or Deactivate Stop a coupon from being used without deleting it:
Go to Commerce > Coupons
Find the coupon and click Pause
Artists can no longer redeem it
You keep the analytics
Edit an Active Coupon Limited changes are allowed to active coupons (to avoid confusion):
Change expiration date (extend or shorten)
Adjust global usage limit (can only increase)
Add internal notes
You cannot change the discount value or code. Create a new coupon instead.
Delete a Coupon Permanently remove unused coupons:
Click the coupon
Click Delete
Confirm (this cannot be undone)
Only delete if nobody has used it yet.
Best Practices
Keep codes simple : EARLY25 beats EARLYBIRD2026APRSet realistic limits : Too restrictive and they feel exclusive; too generous and you lose marginPromote clearly : Make sure artists know the code exists (email, social, website)Track campaigns : Use unique codes per channel (EMAIL50, SOCIAL50) to measure channel ROIAvoid overlap : Check expiration dates so competing coupons don't run simultaneouslyCommunicate value : "25% off" feels better than "25% discount off the $50 submission fee"
Troubleshooting
Check if it's active (not paused or expired)
Verify the scope includes the artist's submission/event
Confirm usage limits haven't been exceeded
Check browser cache (clear and refresh)
Artist used it multiple times but limit was 1?
Global limit may have been higher than per-user limit
Review the coupon configuration
Manually adjust or issue a refund if needed
Want to extend an expiring coupon?
Open the coupon

Change the expiration date
