A coupon, voucher, or membership does not work

Use this when a customer reports a rejected code, a voucher that will not redeem, or a missing member benefit. First identify which of the three you are dealing with — they fail for different reasons:

  • A coupon (discount code) changes the order price when entered in the cart.
  • A voucher carries a purchased balance or entitlement the customer redeems later.
  • A bLoyal membership is linked through the customer's identity and external reference. A custom KORONA Event subscription alone grants no benefit.

Test the customer-facing code flow to verify eligibility and the item the code applies to.

Coupon code is rejected

  1. Check spelling and leading or trailing spaces in the code the customer typed, and whether the code was already applied to the cart.
  2. In KORONA.studio, check the Couponing Promotion status, validity, eligibility, redemption limit, and assigned points of sale.
  3. In KORONA Event, open Admin > Integrations and record Last successful synchronization.
  4. If the discount amount looks wrong rather than rejected, compare the benefit and qualifying items in KORONA.studio with the cart.

Do not use the deprecated KORONA Event Settings > Promotions page for new campaigns. Details are in Create a couponing promotion in KORONA.studio.

Voucher will not redeem

  1. Check the code spelling, then find the voucher's original order and confirm its payment state — an unpaid voucher purchase is a common cause.
  2. Check whether the voucher was already redeemed or its value already consumed.
  3. Confirm the customer is redeeming an eligible offer in the shop this voucher belongs to, and that the value is applied before checkout completes.

Sell and redeem a voucher covers the full redemption test and its troubleshooting table.

Membership benefit is not applied

Membership problems are almost always identity problems:

  1. Open Sales > Customers and search by the exact email. Check for duplicate records — the benefit may sit on a different profile than the one used at purchase. See Clean up duplicate customer records.
  2. Confirm the bLoyal subscription is visible on the customer profile the customer actually used.
  3. Check the External ref. and the bLoyal integration state. Continue with Check membership benefits or the Integration troubleshooting checklist.

Expected result

You know whether the failure is a typo, an archived promotion, an unpaid or consumed voucher, a wrong customer identity, or an integration lookup — and which record proves it.

Before contacting support

Collect:

  • the exact code as the customer entered it
  • for vouchers: the original order number and its payment state
  • for memberships: the customer record link, duplicates found, and external reference
  • the exact shop error text with date and time
