Free Shipping Coupon
Feature Description
The "Free Shipping Coupon" is an important redemption reward in the member points system. Its core function is customers spend fixed points to redeem order shipping fee waiver benefits, with flexible configuration of applicable scope and usage conditions—supporting restrictions to all countries or specific countries, setting upper limits for shipping fee waivers (the coupon becomes unavailable if the limit is exceeded), and being combined with minimum purchase amount/quantity thresholds. It accurately covers shipping discount needs for different regions and order scales, reducing customers' shopping costs.
Effectiveness Logic
- Free shipping coupons require active redemption by customers to generate a unique, exclusive coupon code, which is only usable by the redeeming customer. Even if others obtain the code, it cannot be verified or used
- Redeemed coupon codes take effect immediately, become invalid after a single use, and require re-redemption with points for subsequent use
- Unauthenticated users can view all "Active" Free Shipping Coupons; after logging in, only coupons eligible for their VIP tier will be displayed
- Supports setting applicable country ranges, shipping fee limits, minimum usage thresholds, and combination permissions, enabling flexible control of promotion costs

💡 Notes
- Each redeemed coupon generates a unique exclusive code, only usable by the redeeming customer. Even if others obtain the code, it cannot be verified, ensuring benefit exclusivity
- Coupon codes become invalid immediately after one use; re-redemption with points is required for subsequent use
- Unauthenticated users can view all active coupons but can only access basic information and cannot redeem; after logging in, the system will filter and display eligible coupons based on the user's current VIP tier, with ineligible coupons automatically hidden
- When setting the shipping fee limit, combine the store's actual delivery costs to set a reasonable upper limit to avoid losses due to high shipping fee waivers
- When configuring applicable countries, clearly inform users of the scope on the front-end to avoid usage disputes caused by inconsistent shipping addresses
- If the VIP tier feature is not enabled, the Reward Restriction configuration item is unavailable, and all users redeem according to the basic rules
