Transact Bridge does not provide an inbuilt coupon management system. The merchant owns and manages the coupon system. Merchants can use their existing coupon infrastructure while using Transact Bridge for subscription checkout and billing. Transact Bridge supports two ways of applying coupons:

1. Merchant-applied coupons (Coupon passed during subscription creation in the API)
2. Customer-applied coupons (Coupon entered on the hosted checkout)

Coupon Flow

---

​

Method 1: Merchant-applied Coupon

The merchant can apply a coupon while creating the subscription by passing the coupon details in the coupon object. The coupon is automatically applied when the customer lands on the Transact Bridge hosted checkout page. The customer does not need to enter the coupon code manually. For step by step integration with method 1 refer to API guide.

​

Method 2: Customer-applied Coupon

The coupon system allows partners the flexibility to use their own coupon store while enabling customers to enter coupon codes directly on the Transact Bridge hosted checkout page. When a customer enters a coupon code, Transact Bridge calls the Coupon Verify API configured by the merchant. The merchant validates the coupon in their own system and returns the appropriate response.
