Bulk Coupon Creator App for BigCommerce

To begin, launch the Bulk Coupon Creator Tool app from the Apps menu in your BigCommerce control panel.

From the Bulk Coupon Creator dashboard, use the stacked menu next to the promotion you want to create coupons for and select Create Coupons:

If you have multiple storefronts, choose the storefront you want to create the coupon codes for from the drop-down.

Once your storefront is chosen, choose Create via Wizard:

This will bring up the wizard which allows you to select various formatting options for your coupon codes, which include:

• Coupon Length: a numerical value between 3 and 20.  Keep in mind, BigCommerce allows a maximum coupon code length of 50 characters, and this will include any prefix, suffix, or delimiter you may add.
• Number of Coupons to Generate: a numerical value between 1 and 500,000
• Coupon Prefix: allows you to set an optional set of characters to prepend to your coupon code such as “VIP” or “JULY.”
  • Allowed characters:
    • a-z
    • A-Z
    • 0-9
    • Underscore and hyphen ( _ and - )
• Coupon Suffix: allows you to set an optional set of characters to append to your coupon code such as “THANKS” or “2023.”
  • Allowed characters:
    • a-z
    • A-Z
    • 0-9
    • Underscore and hyphen ( _ and - )
• Character Set: allows you to set the formatting and character sets for the coupon code such as:
  • Allowing or disallowing upper and lower case letters
  • Allowing or disallowing numerical digits
• Coupon Delimiter: allows you to set a delimiter that will separate elements of the code such as a hyphen.
  • Allowed characters:
    • a-z
    • A-Z
    • 0-9
    • Underscore and hyphen ( _ and - )
• Coupon Split Length: allows you to set the number of characters where the code will be split by the delimiter. For example, if you have a 16-digit coupon code, you can set the length to 4 so the code would be split such as “1234-5678-9012-3456.”
• Max Uses Per Code: the maximum number of times the coupon code can be used. This should be a numerical value between 1 and 10,000.
• Max Uses Per Customer: the maximum number of times the coupon code can be used by a single customer. This should be a numerical value between 1 and 1000.

Once your formatting options have been selected, a sample of the coupon code will be shown in the example box at the bottom of the screen.

Once you have verified the coupon details are correct, click Next.

By default, we will provide a notification via email when the job is complete.  If you choose not to receive a notification via email, you can turn this option off on this screen, or change the email address it will be sent to.

It's important to note that depending on the number of coupon codes you are creating, it can take several minutes for the process to complete.

Once your selection is made, click Submit to finish.

The Bulk Coupon Creator allows you to upload up to 500,000 unique bulk coupon codes that you generated outside the app.

To begin, you will first need to create a CSV file with your coupon data.  It's important to note that BigCommerce only supports the following characters for coupon codes, this includes the code, any prefix or suffix, or delimiters.

•  A-Z
•  0-9
• Underscore and hyphen ( _ and - )

Your CSV file must contain a header row with the following fields:

• Max Uses Per Code – the maximum number of times the coupon code can be used. This should be a numerical value between 1 and 1000.
