Coupons are a useful way for you to encourage your customers to buy more often. They can also be shared with an affiliate marketer or influencer to get more reach for your website. Once shared, you will also be able to track the effectiveness of the affiliate or the influencer based on the number of times the coupon has been used by your customers while making a purchase.
With Zopping, we allow you to create coupons whose terms and conditions can be easily configured by you.
