Coupons
A well-timed discount code turns a browser into a buyer. FoundryInk's coupons let you hand out percent-off or flat-off codes, scoped to your whole studio, one series, or a single issue, with limits so they don't run away. This page covers all of it.
1Make a code
In Studio, then Coupons, choose New coupon. Set a code (like a con name), pick the discount type, percent off or a flat amount off (in cents, so 500 is five dollars), and flip it Active when you're ready. A table tracks each code's uses and the revenue it drove, and you can export it all.
2Scope it and cap it
Point the coupon exactly where you want: studio-wide, one series, or a single issue. Then add guardrails: a total max uses, a per-user limit, a minimum order, and an expiry (blank means never). It's the difference between a friendly nudge and an accidental fire sale.
3How readers use it
Readers enter the code in the checkout dialog on a digital purchase, and the discount is previewed before they pay. The scope is respected automatically, a series code only works on that series, so you can run a broad studio sale and a targeted issue code at the same time without them stepping on each other.
Quick questions
One-time digital sales, an online read or a download. Coupons don't apply to shipped prints or to subscriptions, and only one coupon can be used per order.
It's set in cents, so 500 means five dollars off. Percent-off coupons take a percentage instead. Use whichever fits the promo.
Yes: set a total max-uses cap, a per-user limit, a minimum order, and an expiry. Blank expiry means it never expires, but a public code should always have caps.
No, it's one coupon per order. But a coupon and an affiliate link can apply to the same purchase, which is a great launch combo.
Deals, done right
Scoped, capped, trackable discounts for any occasion. One more piece of running a shop: handling the rare hiccup gracefully.
