Using Coupons

Using Coupons to promote Advertising on your site

From version 2.5 onwards, we have introduced a coupon system for SocialAds making it possible for you to offer promotions to your users by giving them Coupons. A variety of options have been made available in the coupon manager making it possible to restrict the coupons in various ways. Both Absolute value & percentage type coupons are supported.

This view allows you to get a quick snapshot of the available coupons & basic restrictions they have.
