Tracking Coupon Codes

I’ve seen various post and replies concerning this, but I didn’t find anything current so I am wondering the status on this … all I need is to know which coupon code a user entered when subscribing. I don’t need affiliate software or anything fancy since there will only be a few coupons. Is there anyway to track this yet?

Can I put %%full_coupon_code%% or %%coupon_code%% in the New User Notification email message?

Thanks for your inquiry.

s2Member makes it possible to accomplish this in two ways.

• Additional Replacement Code
• External Processing

s2Member’s processes have integrated functionality that can make this possible with the info from Pre Sale FAQs » Is it possible to modify s2Member® Pro Form templates?.

Within the template file for PayPal checkout forms (/s2member-pro/includes/templates/forms/paypal-checkout-form.php), s2Member uses the code %%coupon_value%% to fill in a variable that is used in the processes under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Pro Coupon Codes -› Affiliate Coupon Codes.

To access this property in processes outside of the affiliate coupon codes, you can use this value to create a custom variable like the ones that are created within Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Registration/Profile Fields. A field like this might look something like this within your new template:

<input type="hidden" maxlength="100" autocomplete="off" value="%%coupon_value%%" name="s2member_pro_paypal_checkout&#091;custom_fields&#093;&#091;coupon&#093;" id="s2member-pro-paypal-checkout-custom-reg-field-coupon" tabindex="100" class="s2member-pro-paypal-custom-reg-field-coupon s2member-pro-paypal-checkout-custom-reg-field-coupon" aria-required="false">

With the above, you’d then be able to access the replacement code %%coupon%% within your WordPress Dashboard anywhere that s2Member supports custom field replacement codes (like Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Email Configuration).

s2Member can pass the coupon’s value via Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Pro Coupon Codes -› Affiliate Coupon Codes.

You can use the info provided through these processes and the processes under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Notifications to set up an external process for sending this info.

I have to admit I don’t really follow you, but that’s not your fault — by the time I figure all of that out, it would be cheaper for me to buy iDevAffiliate. Thanks anyway.

PS Could you put this on the list? When a new user signs up, I can get all the other info on the signup form sent in the email, why not the coupon code?

Thanks for the heads up on this thread :-)
