FAQs

Q: How many times can a discount code generated by Referral Candy be used?

A: The number of times a discount coupon can be used depends on the "Usage Limit" configured during the reward setup on Referral Candy. You can choose any value from 1 to 99 for the usage limit.

Q: Will this coupon discount be applied over and above the selling plan discount?

A: Yes, the coupon discount will be applied over and above the selling plan discount. For example, if you set up a 10% selling plan discount for a product priced at $10, and a customer applies 20% discount code generated by Referral Candy, then the final price for the customer will be calculated as

Price after 10% selling plan discount = $10-$1 = $9

Final price after an additional 20% Referral Candy discount = $9 - $1.8 = $7.2
