Hi,
I am considering purchasing the Pro version but have some questions.
1.) I see that you have a print style format, but was wondering if any of the others style are print capable. 2.) Can an image, such as a logo, but uploaded onto a coupon? 3.) Can the dimensions of all coupons styles be changed to accommodate additional text?
Thank you!
Hello,
1. Print style format is the one that is linked from other styles. So other styles are not as such printable. unless user wants to print the page itself.
2. logos can be uploaded to a coupon but only for style 7.
3. dimensions are pretty much fixed other than style 1 and 5 (which as I said can be modified)
If you have any other question please let me know by sending a Blog contact (http://jaspreetchahal.org/contact-me)
Cheers.
Hi,
I am adding coupons to our existing discount dining site. These would be similar to Groupon purchases so I would want the coupon to be serialized with a number or code to prevent multiple uses or print outs. Can your plugin accommodate this?
Thx
How can we change he dimensions of the coupon , we need 250X250

Does the Pro Version offer a shortcode to display coupon codes from a category?
I have a retailer with 30 or so coupons. I would like to display it all on one page sorted by a certain criteria.
Is there a future in the pipeline that allows users to submit coupons?
Hi Jimmy,
You can display all coupons under a given category on a single page. there is definitely a shortcode for that and a widget is there to help you out on create post page.
I never thought about user submissions because that itself will require its own theme and all, just creating coupons and displaying them may not be enough with user submissions.
If you have any ideas please let me know but I want to keep this plugin simple and easy to use and cannot guarantee that I will implement it, but if the requirements are clear and other can benefit from it then who knows.
let me know if you have any other question.
