If you're worried about your student forgetting to apply the coupon at the checkout, you can share a link with the student which includes the coupon already applied!


About This Feature

You can make it even simpler for customers to redeem a coupon offer by sending them to your course landing page or checkout via a URL where the discount is already applied. This means your students will not need to type in a coupon code at checkout!

Coupons codes can automatically be applied to the following links:

Course landing page

Bundle landing page

Direct to checkout page

Getting Started

Before building your links, you will need to:

  1. Create a coupon
  2. Copy the link to your desired course or bundle landing page, or checkout page

Once you have your coupon and link, you can start building your custom link with coupon code applied! 

Apply a Coupon to Your Course or Bundle Landing Page URL

You can use this feature to send users to a landing page on your Thinkific site with the coupon code already applied.

  1. Copy the link (URL) to your desired course or bundle landing page
  2. Paste this URL into a text document where it can be edited
  3. Add ?coupon=XXXXX to the end of this URL
  4. Replace the XXXXX with your coupon code

For example, if your coupon code is 50off and your course landing page URL is https://training.thinkific.com/courses/ebook-into-course, the final URL would look like this:

https://training.thinkific.com/courses/ebook-into-course?coupon=50off

Apply a Coupon to Your Checkout Page URL

You can use this feature to send users straight to checkout with the coupon code already applied.

  1. Copy the checkout link (URL) for your course
  2. Paste this URL into a text document where it can be edited
  3. Check if your URL includes a question mark (?). Here is an example of a URL that already includes a question mark: 
    https://mysite.thinkific.com/enroll/336493?price_id=348234
  4. If your URL already includes a question mark, see the Ampersand Coupon Method below
  5. If your URL does not already include a question mark, add ?coupon=XXXXX to the end of your URL
  6. Replace the XXXXX with your coupon code

For example, if your coupon code is 50off and your checkout URL is https://mysite.thinkific.com/enroll/336493, the final URL would look like this:

https://mysite.thinkific.com/enroll/336493?coupon=50off

Ampersand Coupon Method

If the checkout link (URL) for your course already includes a question mark (?), there is a slightly different set up to make sure that your coupon is automatically applied.

  1. Copy the checkout link (URL) for your course
  2. Paste this URL into a text document where it can be edited
  3. Check if your URL includes a question mark (?). Here is an example of a link that already included a question mark: 
    https://mysite.thinkific.com/enroll/336493?price_id=348234
  4. If your URL already includes a question mark, add &coupon=XXXXX to the end of your URL
  5. Replace the XXXXX with your coupon code

For example, if your coupon code is 50off and your checkout URL is https://mysite.thinkific.com/enroll/336493?price_id=348234, the final URL would look like this:

https://mysite.thinkific.com/enroll/336493?price_id=348234&coupon=50off
