    Hello team,

    We would like to use just coupon.

    All the user need to enter the coupon to view the video.

    The coupon need to be valid 2 times, so they can see the video 2 time.

    How can we do that? it’s the unique function that we need to use.

    We have a aws S3 to host our video, and need just to make this. Please help us

    Regards

    Use a 100% coupon, and manual checkout. Check the following posts which will help you:

    Thank you for your answer, but if we use a free product, all customer can access to the streaming. We need to give access just to customer who have a coupon.

    With manual chackout, we need to send the download link, but in this case, we use a streaming video at different pages.

    Regards

    You are not using a free product. You create a coupon that gives 100% discount making the product free for someone who has that coupon. Fully read “option 1” from the following post again:

    https://support.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forums/topic/selling-items-for-00-giving-product-for-free

    You can still give access to a streaming video page using our Pay Per View feature. Have a look at this documentation (there is a video tutorial for it too):

    Thank you admin.

    I will try to more explain.

    For pay per view and streaming it’s ok, i have buy lightbox, and it’s work.

    But the unique point is that i would like to not show the price of the product. I would like to force the user to use a coupon code. So if the user look that there is a price he don’t try to use the coupon. That’s is my issue.

    So to resume :

    I can create coupon

    I can create product

    i could like just to display the product, with squeeze page for example, and not displaying the price, to force the user to use the coupon code.

    I can pay for this integration if possible.

    Regards

    Was there a solution for this? I’m trying to set up a system where the user MUST enter a download code even though the songs are free. I have a 100% off coupon set up, but there’s nothing stopping the user from bypassing entering a code and just downloading the free songs.

    Sorry to necro post but this was the closest post I could find on the subject.

    We have the following solution that lets your visitors download an item if they have a 100% discount code:

    https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/wp-estore-download-with-discount-addon-3469

    Have a look and see if it will work for you.

    I’m not sure that would work for the set up I have. I have 80 or so products all filled out that can be added to the cart, and I have priced them at 0.00. I would like the customers to be able to add any of these products to their cart, but only be allowed to check out if they have a coupon code, it looks like the solution you provided is a forced instance for every free product, but I’d like the customer to be able to make a bulk list of free items. I’d like to know if that plug in would solve this issue before I spend $30 on it.

    No, that addon won’t do what you just explained.

    Why are you pricing your items to $0.00 when you are going to give them a 100% coupon. What you should do is put a price on the products (so they are not $0). Then the users can add them to the cart but then only the users who have a 100% coupon can download it free.

    One thing you can do is probably the following:

    Use the shipping variation option to add a charge to the cart. This charge can only be removed from the cart by applying a 100% shipping discount. Your customers won’t really know that it is shipping because you can label it whatever you want. Read the following documentation to learn about the shipping variation feature:

    If a discount coupon is assigned to an affiliate ID, and the client already apply a coupon code, when the client enter the affiliate ID, an error (in red) prompts (Discount can only be applied once!) notifying that a coupon has been already applied. I understand the purpose, but could be better if the message are less scary, like Thank you for using a Affiliate ID, the original coupon provides better discount? or something like that? When a client reads the red message, think that he did something wrong. however, is the affiliates id provides a 3% discount and the client have a better discount with other coupon, the cart don’t allow to enter the coupon for the reasons already explained. I think is better if the cart recognize and use the best coupon for the client.

    Also I want to know if is possible to apply more than on coupon, like 10% and add a 3% more with another coupon. This could be useful if you want to encourage the client to use the affiliates id. Otherwise, if a coupon with a 25% discount is released, the client cant benefit, and will use the coupon, and not the affiliates ID.

    There are some business people that would disagree.

    We call it “coupon stacking,” but you enable this feature at your own risk:
