Step 1: Navigate to the Coupons Section
From the 99minds dashboard, locate the menu on the left-hand side and find the Coupons section.
Click on Coupons to open the coupon options.
Then select Coupon Rules to view existing rules.
Step 2: Start Creating a New Referral Coupon Rule
On the Coupon Rules page, you may see existing rules, including any referral-type rules already created.
To create a new rule from scratch, click on Create Coupon Rule. This opens the coupon rule form that needs to be filled in.
Step 3: Configure Basic Rule Details
In the coupon rule form:
Enter a Name/Title for the rule, for example:
Referral coupon for friend.
Enter a Label (you can provide any meaningful label for internal identification).
Select the Currency; for example, choose United States (USD).
Select the Platform; for example, Shopify.
Step 4: Set Rule Type and Discount Configuration
Continue in the same form:
Under Coupon Rule Type, select Referral (options usually include Standard, Dynamic, and Referral).
Under Coupon Type, choose Fixed Value and set the discount amount (e.g.,
25).
For Character Set, select Letters and Numbers so generated coupons use alphanumeric codes.
Set the Expiration period; for example, choose 1 year.
When all fields are completed, click Save to create the referral coupon rule.
Step 5: Verify the Created Referral Coupon Rule
After saving, confirm that the rule appears in the Coupon Rules list with:
Title: your referral rule name
Currency: e.g., USD
Type: Referral
This confirms that the referral coupon rule has been successfully created in 99minds.
Step 6: Manually Create Coupons from the Referral Rule
From the referral coupon rule, you can manually generate coupons:
Use the option to Create Bulk Coupon or Create Coupons associated with this rule.
Then, go to the All Coupons section to verify that the coupons have been created.
You will see the newly created coupon(s) that belong to the referral coupon rule.
These coupons can now be issued to any customer and used within workflows or campaigns as needed.
