Coupons
Coupons are manually applied to Open invoices to discount the total invoice amount. Vetspire supports three types of coupon discounts:
Flat: Adjusts the total invoice amount to a flat rate. For example, if an invoice total is $100, and you apply a coupon for a flat discount of $50, the invoice total is updated to $50. You can also apply a flat discount to specific line items in the coupon settings to override the costs of those items.
Fixed: Deducts a specific amount from the invoice total.
Percentage: Applies a percentage discount to the invoice total or to line items specified in the coupon settings.
Create a Coupon
Go to Financials > Manage > Coupons and select Create Coupon.
Enter the Name of the coupon. You will search for the coupon in Vetspire by this name.
(Optional) Enter the Start Date and Exp. Date for the coupon if the discount is only available for a certain date range.
Select the Discount Type: Flat, Fixed, or Percentage.
Enter the Discount Amount.
(Optional) Select one of your Revenue Centers (configured in Financials > Manage > Revenue Centers).
Select Save.
Upon saving, the new coupon displays in the Modify Coupon window. Here, you can add and edit additional details about the coupon.
Modify Coupon: Available Settings
All of the settings in the Modify Coupon window are optional. In other words, these settings are not required to apply a Flat, Fixed, or Percentage discount to an open invoice via a coupon.
Modifying a coupon that has already been created does NOT affect closed invoices that include the coupon.

Automatically Apply when Products Ordered | Automatically apply the coupon when the invoice includes the selected product(s). This setting is used to automatically apply the coupon when specific products are invoiced (and the other ‘Modify Coupon’ criteria are met), so you don’t need to manually apply the coupon.

Excluded Patient Tags | Disallow the coupon from being applied when a patient’s chart has any of the selected tags. |
Specific Locations | Limit the coupon to only apply at specific location(s). |
New Client Only | Set to Yes to limit the coupon to only apply for a client’s first visit. |
Member Only | Set to Yes to limit the coupon to only apply for subscribers. |
Conditionals | Select the plus sign (+) to add a condition that applies the coupon when an invoice includes a specific quantity of a product. Example: Let’s say you are having a sale where clients can buy two of Product A and get one free. Enter the ID for Product A, then enter the Quantity as 3. The coupon is applicable when the invoice includes 3 or more of Product A. |
