What are Coupon Codes?

Coupon codes allow yearbook advisers to offer discounts to customers at checkout. These codes provide a specific dollar amount off the purchase price and can be customized with a start date, expiration date, code, usage limits, and more.

⚠️ Important: Coupon discounts are deducted from your store’s profit. If you are not selling yearbooks for profit, you will be responsible for covering the discount amount at the time of order submission.
