For most coupon types you can check the "Allow this coupon to cover shipping costs" checkbox and with that allow the coupon to cover shipping. It's been like that ever since we introduced coupons as far as I know - one coupon per Pro can be used on an order.

Is there a way to tie coupons to a package? Like, "Order this mega-huge-awesome package and get 25% ala carte purchases!"

Is that doable? Or is the only way to approach it to email the customer a coupon code after they purchase a package?

Coupons can only be limited to certain galleries. It's not possible to link a coupon with a package. Sorry.
You could add your suggestion to the SmugMug feedback page.

What you could do is limit the coupon to the gallery in question and disable any individual products in the gallery so that only packages would be available.

I think I want it to work the opposite of that. If they buy the package, then they get 25% off any extra individual products.

Looks like emailing a limited coupon after a package purchase is the way to go. Thanks Sebastian!

That's something you can do with your package pricing. You can set it at any price you like (as long as it's above cost prices). No need to provide any coupons.

I know I can set the price of a package, but I have to explicitly include items in that. I want customer to purchase a package that has the set of prints that I want them to get, and then have the ability to individually purchase other items for a reduced fee. Like I said, I know I can do that with a coupon that I manually send after they purchase a package, but it isn't ideal (to me). :-)

I know I can set the price of a package, like bundling a package, but I don't want my clients to get that reduce package deal and use a coupon in the same time with their individual prints order. I want customer to purchase a package that has the reduce set price and able to use a coupon for individual prints. There's no way of preventing them not to use that on the bundle packages. It isn't conducive enough.

Exactly.

how do i get a link to share a coupon via social media?

There's currently no specific coupon sharing feature. You can just mention the coupon code along with details to where it applies and when it expires.
Alternatively, you could take a screenshot of the coupon image in the coupon management and include that in your share.

Running a holiday special for 20% off gallery purchases, and my sessions that get a print credit cannot use both coupons together! Would really like to be able to use multiple coupon codes for certain situations.

Also, would be a great to have something like a free 8" x 10" coupon that is linked to an email address. It would have to be product specific, as the price of an 8" x 10" changes based on different pricelists. Linking to an email would allow the photographer to make it active for specific users and we won't have to create a new one each time.

I know that's asking alot from the programmers, but I bet they can make it happen.

I do love the idea of coupons, and personally I would love to see discounts-by-url. Right now I'm experimenting with Google Adwords and would love to offer people who click the ad 10% off a print, but unless I add the coupon code to the ad, there's no way for me to get this to the person.

That's why I'd love to see something like: http://grayda.smugmug.com/?code=10percent which would let people get an automatic discount for clicking on my ad.'

Just my 2c though. I'm working around it for the time being.

Hi coupons are a great idea. I have already created some for the Holidays. What I would like to see is the ability to be able to feature a coupon on my homepage. I know I could write a blurb in my bio, but I would rather it be something that stands out. When a coupon is created it creates a flashy image (the one on the upper right of the coupon maker) which contains all the necessary details but there isn't any means of using that image anywhere, not from what I could see. I understand that not all coupons would be public but it would be a nice feature to be able to utilize. Thanks

You could take a snapshot of the coupon, upload the coupon image to an unlisted gallery and then embed the image as html into your account settings > style > advanced customizer > custom header or custom footer section.

To get the image embed code for a photo, use the share button > get a link > embeddable links tab. There you'll find the blogs code in different sizes. If you don't want the photo to be clickable, just remove the and tags from the code to just leave the tag.

I want to offer free shipping to all my clients. Can I do this without a coupon? Or do I just have to give everyone the code, or...?

You could only do that with a coupon. Check out the free shipping coupon type here for details.

I am planning on photographing our local swim team. I did it last year. All the files are uploaded to a single gallery. The team shot was included, but individual photos were not. They were ordered online off my Smugmug site. This caused some confusion as a few parents thought their individual shots would be included with the initial payment.

This year, I'm proposing that they get ONE 5x7 individual included. What's the easiest way to do that? Do I offer them a one print coupon? How is that managed on the site when there may be up to 100 separate customers?

Thanks,
Norm

Norm,
Coupons may not be best suited for this use case. You could take a closer look at our packages feature instead. With a package, you could offer the two prints for the price of just the team photo and thus the 5x7 could be included for free. For details, take a look at the packages help page.
