Create vanity code coupons
About vanity code coupons
With Square Marketing, you can easily create coupon codes (promo codes) for both in-person and online sales. Use them to promote specific items, item categories or special holiday sales.
Unlike regular coupon codes that usually have random letters and numbers, you can create vanity codes that are easy to remember, and match the theme of a promotion or sale (like code ‘BigHolidayPromo’). Once created, share the code through an email campaign, in store or on your website.
Before you begin
You can create vanity code coupons – a free feature – from Square Dashboard.
For best results, coupon codes should be unique and not reused. This can help prevent code misuse, enable precise code tracking and allow for more personalised offers.
Customers can only use one online coupon code at a time while checking out from your website or payment link.
Codes aren’t case-sensitive, which means the coupon codes of ‘SAVE10’ and ‘save10’ will both apply the same discount.
Marketing coupons that are redeemed online won’t appear in reporting until the corresponding order is marked Complete.

Cancel and duplicate coupons
