Coupon Codes Explained

Loup allows brands to create coupon codes that give customers a predetermined percentage discount or a specific dollar amount off. Coupon codes will automatically sync with your Shopify store for customers to use. These codes are exclusive to each One-to-One shopping event and will present in the upper left corner on the interface. Host have the ability to choose when the coupon code becomes visible to users during the live event. 

During your One-to-one shopping session, use the Visible toggle to make the coupon appear or disappear for your customer. 


Two Ways to Create a Coupon Code for a One-to-One Live Event 

1.   Upon the initial creation of the live event 

  • On the left sidebar, navigate to Videos > 1:1 Virtual Shopping > create a new event and fill out the various bits of information. For more detailed information, visit the How to Create a 1:1 Event article
  • Under ‘Featured Items’ , to the right of the product selection interface, click add coupon.

2.   After the live event has been created 

  • Navigate to the Event Summary page (Videos > 1:1 Virtual Shopping > Click on the name of the event you are updating).
