Discord Coupon Bot: Discount Codes for Your Server Shop
A Discord coupon bot creates discount codes you can hand out in your community, and applies them to an order so the invoice shows the lower total. Noxyr calls them vouchers: a percent or fixed amount off, with a use limit and an expiry date. Staff create them with /voucher create.
What a voucher is in Noxyr
A voucher is a discount code, like LAUNCH20. It is not a gift card with a balance, and each voucher belongs to the server where you made it. Because it lives inside your shop tools, the discount shows up on the invoice and in your sales reports, so you can see what a promotion cost.
Create one
Run /voucher create and fill in these options.
| Option | What to put |
|---|---|
| code | What buyers type, such as SUMMER15 |
| title | An internal label shown in lists |
| type | Percent or Amount |
| value | 15 for 15 percent, or 5 for a fixed amount |
| max_uses | How many redemptions before it stops. The default is a single use |
| expires_in_days | It stops working after this many days. Leave it empty for never |
The Vouchers page on the dashboard has the same fields, plus an expiry date and time and an active switch. Codes made in either place appear in the other immediately, because the bot and the dashboard read the same records.
Percent or fixed amount
A percentage scales with the order. That is fair for most shops, but a large percent on a big bundle can cut deep into your margin. A fixed amount is easier to predict, and it works better on small carts where ten percent would be pennies. Pick per promotion, not once for the whole store.
How buyers use a code
Vouchers apply at invoice time, not automatically at cart checkout. The buyer tells staff the code, and staff pass it to /invoice create in the voucher_code option. The bot checks the code, counts the redemption, and renders the invoice with a discount line and the reduced total.
Only one voucher can be used per invoice. There is no stacking two codes on the same order, so if someone asks to combine them, offer the better one.
Before you announce a code, run /check voucher with it. It tells you whether the code can be used in this server, so you find out about a typo before your customers do.
Keep codes from leaking
- Limit the uses. A code with no limit will be posted in another server. Set max uses to the number you expect plus a small margin.
- Always add an expiry, even for a code you mean to keep. A forgotten code can keep discounting orders months later.
- Use one code per purpose. A review reward, a giveaway prize and a partner code should be separate, so you know which one works and can switch off the one that leaks.
Disable instead of delete
When a promotion ends, run /voucher disable with the code. That turns it off but keeps its usage count and every invoice that used it, so your sales report for the promotion still adds up. Use /voucher list to see every active voucher with its remaining uses, and check it now and then.
Revenue reports show the discounted total on each invoice, not the sticker price. During a promotion your average order value will look lower, which is expected.
Ways shops use codes
Give a code as a thank-you for a review, a consolation for a giveaway, a reward for a referral milestone, or a welcome offer after verification. Partner servers get their own code so you can see which cross-promotion actually sells. All of it stays in Discord, in the same place as your shop and invoices.
A simple promotion plan
- Decide the goal. New customers, a slow week, or thanking reviewers each call for a different code.
- Create the code with a use limit and an expiry that match the goal.
- Check it with
/check voucher. - Announce it in the channel where your buyers already are.
- Review the result. Run
/voucher listto see how many uses are left, then disable it when the promotion ends.
Staff need to remember that the buyer's code goes in at invoice time, so tell your team before you announce anything.
Write the code on the announcement exactly as it should be typed. Short, uppercase codes with no spaces are the easiest to say out loud and the hardest to mistype.
