Coupons

With a coupon, users can try your car sharing service for free. You can also use them for promotional purposes or as a reward for people taking care of your vehicle.

A coupon is always a fixed monetary amount that can be time-limited. It is not possible to issue a percentage-based coupon.

There are three different ways a coupon can be created:

Coupon
Coupon campaigns
Coupon subscriptions

Coupons

Zemtu billing → Coupons → + Add Coupon

In this section, an individual coupon can be created for a specific user. The coupon will be automatically assigned to the user, and the respective amount will be deducted from their next booking.

Example: A user cleaned the vehicle during the last reservation and should receive compensation in the form of a voucher.

	Label: Goodie
Description:	Cleaning/maintenance of the car
Expiration date: *	DD.MM.YYYY
Beneficiary: *	User XY
Amount: *	10 €
Invoicing party: *	Shared Mobility Service XY

Coupon campaigns

Zemtu billing → Coupon campaigns → +Add Coupon campaign

Here, you can create a coupon code for a marketing campaign. Create a code like "ENJOYYOURRIDE" or "12345678" that can be redeemed multiple times. To redeem the code, the user needs to open the app and go to profile → coupon & actions → enter coupon code. Once entered, the corresponding amount will be credited to their account and deducted from their next ride.

Example: Coupon code 1234 is printed on flyers, in newsletters, or other channels to incentivize prospective customers to test our service.

	Label: * Opening soon
Description:	Test our new service one week free of charge
Code: *	1234
Number of coupons: *	max. 100
Invoicing party: *	Shared Mobility Service XY
Amount: *	€
Start: *	DD.MM.YYYY
End: *	DD.MM.YYYY
Coupon lifetime: *	7 (How many days the newly created coupon will be valid for.)

Coupon subscriptions

Zemtu billing → Coupon subscriptions → + Add Coupon subcription

With this action, monthly coupon subscriptions can be created. Every month, coupons are automatically generated for a user, which are valid only for that particular month.

Example: Hosts, fleet managers, vehicle sponsors, admins, etc., receive a coupon once a month as a reward for their engagement.

	Label: * Fleet manager
Description:	John Doe takes care of service, maintenance, cleaning, …
Beneficiary: *	Fleet manager XY
Amount: *	€
Start: *	MM.YYYY
End:	MM.YYYY
Internal note:	Vehicle maintenance
Invoicing party: *	Shared Mobility Service XY

Questions & Answers

Can I issue a percentage-based coupon? For example, 50% off on the first ride.

Answer: No, the value for coupons must always be entered as an amount in the respective currency.

Can I issue the coupon for specific times of the day or hours?

No, the coupon lifetime can only be set for specific days/months, not per hour.

Where can the user enter the coupon code in the app?

Answer: The user clicks on the profile icon in the bottom menu bar, then selects the option "coupon & actions" - enter the code and that's it.

Can a coupon code be redeemed multiple times?

Each user can only redeem one coupon code once.

Is it possible to create coupon codes that do not need to be directly assigned to a user?

No, coupons are always created individually for each user. Only coupon campaigns and coupon subscriptions can be used by multiple users. Codes for coupon campaigns and coupon subscriptions can be limited in time, and the number of redeemable codes can also be restricted.

Will a coupon be considered when placing a hold on the credit card (Authorize & Capture)?

No, because it may have already been used by another transaction.
