I got hit with something last week, not quite back to 100%, but almost. I hope you are faring better than me, it’s never fun being sick.

This week I wanted to show you the coupon system. Early on I assumed we would implement the coupon system as part of the order plugin. Instead we implemented the coupon system as a core feature. The reason for this was simple: The introduction of recurring coupons.

The coupon system now supports the following:

1. Recurring & one time coupons.
2. Inclusive & exclusive package rules.
3. Value & percent discounts, in multiple currencies.
4. Start date, end date, and quantity limitations.

Recurring coupons were highly requested. Often times multiple packages would have to be created to bill clients custom prices. This has been resolved in two ways with v3 — recurring invoices, and recurring coupons. Massive numbers of packages are a thing of the past.

It’s now possible to have a term or quantity based promotion for the life of the service. If the coupon is recurring, Blesta will automatically apply the coupon to the invoice when the service renews. In addition to that, coupons may apply to any packages assigned to the coupon at order, or may require that all packages assigned to the coupon are ordered at the same time. (Get 10% off when ordering Bronze Hosting and a Domain Name, for example).

The video is below, as usual you can make the video full screen, and be sure to turn on your sound. I think I sound normal again. :D
