The detail
Changes to bulk coupon codes
Bulk coupons are helpful when you need to generate many coupons of the same type, where each coupon code is unique and can only be redeemed once.
To create bulk coupons, you set a prefix, and the number of bulk coupons you need. For example you may needed 100 coupon codes for a Summer marketing campaign.
Previously, the coupon codes generated would have looked something like this:
SummerCampaign-1
SummerCampaign-2
SummerCampaign-3
etc. up until
SummerCampaign-100
This meant it was easy for someone to guess coupon codes, as they followed a pattern.
We've added in randomised characters, so the codes are not able to be guessed. They will now look something like this:
SummerCampaign-YQJDOP-1
SummerCampaign-ODIEUH-2
SummerCampaign-DHSEOJ-3
etc. up until
SummerCampaign-IDHOWK-100
