Step 1. Say you have created a coupon named DISCOUNT-10 with amount $10 and applicable for Category 1.
Step 2. You can send a link to your customer to use a coupon that you have setup for them together with the product page to use with the coupon.
Step 3. The format for an example link is shown here
Step 4. Open the link in browser
Step 5. The link will simply accept the coupon named ?DISCOUNT-10? and validate it and store it in a session so that it automatically populates the coupon text field on shopcustomer.asp when you order.
Step 6. So when the customer opens the link, it will redirect to the product page shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=1 in this example
Step 7. While customer performs the checkout on shopcustomer.asp, the coupon field will be automatically populated and filled with
'DISCOUNT-10' value (just example).
Step 8. On the next screen, in shopcheckout.asp, the total amount will be deducted with the coupon amount depending on your coupon setup.
