Create Discount Coupon
First thing you need to do is log in to your Raklet account and then go to membership settings.
After that, you need to choose a coupon from the left bar and click the new coupon button.
You can give a unique name to your coupon code since this will also be your discount code. If you leave this field blank, the system will automatically create an ID.
Also, you can choose your discount in a percentage or fixed-amount format.
You can choose an end date if you want your coupon to expire on a specific date. Regarding the end date, in our system, the expiration date is interpreted in GMT and specifically ends at 08:00 AM GMT on the selected day. This means the offer does not expire exactly at local midnight.
For example:
If you want the coupon to be valid until midnight on January 1st in your local time (e.g., PST), you should set the expiration date to January 2nd. Otherwise, the coupon would stop working at 12:00 AM PST (which corresponds to 08:00 AM GMT) on January 1st.
So in such cases, selecting the next calendar day will ensure the offer remains active throughout the entire day in your timezone.
By adjusting maximum redemptions, you can decide how many people can benefit from the discount.
Membership Coupon application: One time or Ongoing
You can now choose how the coupon behaves over time.
One time: the discount is applied once, to the earliest outstanding invoice. This is the classic coupon behavior.
Ongoing: the coupon stays attached to the member's subscription and applies across multiple billing cycles.
If you choose Ongoing, you'll see a new Ongoing duration option:
Forever: the discount keeps applying for as long as the member is subscribed.
Multiple: the discount applies for a fixed number of months you choose.
This is useful for loyalty discounts, early-bird offers, or long-term promotions where you don't want to manually reapply the code every billing cycle.
Application fee Coupon application
A new Application fee toggle lets you decide whether the discount also applies to the application (registration) fee.
Checked: the discount may apply to the application fee as well as the membership plan charges.
Unchecked: only the membership plan charges are discounted. The application fee is paid in full.
This is helpful when you want to run a plan-only promotion without giving up your application fee revenue.
Membership plan restrictions
Below the application fee toggle, you'll see the list of your membership plans with toggles next to each one.
Leave all plans unchecked to allow every membership plan to use the coupon.
Toggle on specific plans to limit the discount to those plans only.
This lets you target promotions precisely. For example, a 20% Ongoing coupon that only applies to the Company Membership plan, without ever discounting Corporate or Individual plans.
You can now use your coupon after filling out the application/signup form and choosing a paid membership plan.
The discount is applicable during sign-up for membership fees, renewals, and past due subscriptions.
Whether the discount applies to the application fee depends on the Application fee toggle you set when creating the coupon.
For One time coupons with multiple outstanding payments, the coupon will only apply to the earliest outstanding plan.
Ongoing coupons keep applying to future invoices on the attached subscription.
The coupon codes cannot be used before the renewal date if there is no outstanding debt.
