At GoTab, you can create coupons to give to guests for promotional offers, limited-time products, and for being loyal customers!
Giving a customer a coupon with GoTab is easy.
Once the coupon is created, the guest can redeem the discount by accessing a newly generated URL by scanning a QR or clicking on a link via sms or email.
Coupon Configuration
In GoTab's back end, click Rules on the left-hand and hit the +add new discount/coupon/fee button, and select "coupon."
- Name the coupon internally [Earth Day Discount, Locals Only Discount, On the House Discount, etc.]
- Name the coupon externally [guest-facing]
- Hit Tab [in all cases you will want to select tab]
- Set the discount on the entire order or a specific product
- If you are configuring a discount on a particular product, type in the name of the discounted product
- Select the quantity you wish to discount
- Set the percentage amount or dollar amount

- Choose to set a minimum subtotal in order for the coupon to take effect [if applicable]
- Choose to set a maximum discount value [if applicable]
- Hit yes, if configuring a BOGO, in all other cases hit no
- Choose to set a redemption limit, this will limit how many times the guest can receive the discount per check [For example, if the redemption limit is 2, the guest has the opportunity to receive the discount on two separate transactions.]
- Choose to set a cap [This is especially useful when the discount is percentage-based]
- Choose to have a delay to when the customer can redeem it
- Choose to set a time frame that forces the guest to use the discount within a specified range once the guest redeems the coupon [Note once the discount is created, you may also set a time range using the clock icon.]
- Choose whether you wish to allow the guest to stack rules [note if you have a fee set-up you will want to hit yes and you can manage your other rules by setting them on a schedule or toggling them off]
- Limit your coupon to specific zones [You may want to do special dine-in promotions or takeout-specific discounts]
- Answer "No" [this question is not applicable]
