You can validate any promo code instantly using the Promo Code Validator tool:
- Go to Promo Code → Validator
- Enter the promo code
- Click Validate
The validator will check:
- ✓ If the code exists
- ✓ If it's active (not deactivated)
- ✓ If it hasn't expired
- ✓ If usage limit hasn't been reached
- ✓ Remaining uses count
This is the same validation system used during checkout.
You can edit the following fields after creation:
- ✓ Description (internal notes)
- ✓ Usage limit (increase only)
- ✓ Expiry date (extend only)
- ✓ Status (activate/deactivate)
For security reasons, you cannot edit:
- ✗ The promo code itself
- ✗ Discount percentage
- ✗ Plan scope (global vs specific)
If you need to change these, create a new promo code and deactivate the old one.
When a promo code reaches its maximum usage limit:
- The code automatically stops working
- Users can no longer apply it at checkout
- The status changes to Depleted
- You receive a notification (if enabled)
You can still:
- Increase the usage limit to allow more redemptions
- Deactivate the code to archive it
- Delete the code (if no longer needed)
Yes! Click the View Usage button (graph icon) next to any promo code to see detailed usage history including:
- Username and Telegram ID
- Date and time of redemption
- Plan purchased
- Original price and discounted price
- Order ID
This data can also be exported for further analysis.
By default, promo codes cannot be stacked - users can only apply one code per subscription. However, you can enable stacking per code:
- Create or edit a promo code
- Toggle on "Stackable" option
- Save the code
When stacking is enabled, users can combine multiple stackable codes. Discounts are applied sequentially, not compounded.
