Step 2: Create the coupon

On the creation page, you'll set up the promotion details
  • Fixed amount: Must be at least $3 off.
  • Discount range: You can set percentage-off coupons between 5% and 50%.
  • Promotion name: A unique name to help you manage the promotion
  • Claim period: The duration during which buyers can submit a qualifying review and receive a coupon. The minimum duration is 30 days and the maximum is 180 days
  • Coupon validity period: How long the coupon is valid after it's claimed, with a default of 60 days and a maximum of 180 days.
  • Coupon settings: You can choose between a fixed-amount coupon or a percentage-off coupon.
    Pro tip: You can't set a maximum discount for percentage-off coupons. This prevents bad user experience (e.g., 20% off $50 orders, capped at $1). Instead, we recommend using the claimable quantity field to manage budget exposure. For example, if you set 20% off $30 orders, the discount could grow large, limit the number of claimable coupons to stay in control.
    • Product selection: You can apply the coupon to all products in your store.
    • Trigger: The coupon is automatically issued when users submit VHQ reviews (11+ words + media) for a qualifying product
