How to Setup a One-Time Use Coupon

One-time use coupons are a great way to offer exclusive discounts to specific customers while preventing the coupon from being reused. This is particularly useful for promotions such as welcome offers, special events, or rewards for loyal customers. Follow the steps below to create a one-time use coupon.

1. Create or Edit a Coupon

Go to your Klip Dashboard and either create a new coupon or click on the name of an existing coupon that you want to modify.

2. Set Eligibility & Target

Navigate to the Eligibility & Target section.
Choose between All logged-in customers or Specific customers. This determines which customers are eligible to use the coupon.

3. Enable One-Time Use Setting

Toggle on the Set a one-time use coupon option. This setting ensures that each eligible customer can use the coupon only once.

4. Save the Coupon Settings

Click Save to apply the changes. The coupon is now restricted to one-time use per customer based on the criteria you set.

5. Communicate the One-Time Use Coupon

Let your customers know that this is a one-time use offer. You can include this information in your marketing emails or promotional banners to create a sense of exclusivity and urgency.

6. Optional: One-Time Use with Discount Code

You can also create a one-time use coupon using a Discount Code, similar to Shopify. This method is ideal for stores with guest customers or if you don’t want to require account creation.

To set up a one-time use coupon with a Discount Code:

Go to your coupon and select Discount Code as the redemption method.

Navigate to Eligibility & Targeting.
Enable Set a one-time use coupon.

Save your coupon.

This ensures that the discount code can only be used once per customer.

⚠️ Note: This works differently from Clip to Apply:

With Discount Code, the customer must enter or use the code at checkout for the coupon to apply.
With Clip to Apply, the system automatically detects eligible customers and applies the coupon without entering a code.

This option is useful if you have many guest customers or want to simplify coupon redemption without requiring login.

Additional Tips

Combine with Expiry Dates: Set an expiry date in the Schedule section to add a time limit to your one-time use coupons, creating a stronger incentive for customers to act quickly.Use with Customer Tags: Target specific customer segments, such as first-time buyers or loyal customers, by using customer tags in the eligibility settings.
