Coupon Descriptions Added

Earlier in the week we released a small change to make coupon management a little easier. Next time you’re creating a coupon in Coupon Manager, you’ll see a description field that gives you the ability to include a description with each coupon you create. These descriptions won’t be shown to shoppers as they redeem the coupons — coupon descriptions only appear in Coupon Manager, and are intended to help you keep track of which coupons are which.

Along with being able to include a description for all coupons you create going forward, you can also edit your existing coupons to add descriptions that will help remind you what they were for. With this addition, you no longer have to rely on the coupon code to remember the promotion it is tied to, which we hope will help you with coupon management and will give you more freedom in naming your coupon codes.

The description field is not a required field, so if you don’t want to use it, you can continue creating coupons as you have in the past. However, using descriptions is a good way to keep track of your coupons, and can be especially helpful if you run a lot of coupon promotions for your store.
