Using a Coupon Code

2 min read

All Plans

Got a promo code from a webinar, partner program, or DOT Lead Scout team member? Coupon codes are applied at signup or on an existing subscription via the Plan tab. Discounts are processed through Stripe with a few common combinations: percent off, fixed amount off, free trial days, or "trial-plus-discount" combos.

Apply a Code #

At signup

On the Pay & Subscribe form, the Coupon Code (optional) field appears below the card details. Enter the code and click Apply before submitting payment.

Coupon Code Format #

Applying a Code #

Type the code

Either field auto-uppercases as you type, so you don't need to worry about caps.

We validate the code against our database, your selected plan, and the Stripe environment.

What a Coupon Can Include #

Discount componentWhat it does
Percentage offReduces the price by a percentage (e.g. 20% off, 50% off first month).
Fixed amount offSubtracts a dollar amount (e.g. $10 off the first invoice).
Free trial daysSkips charging for the first N days. Today's price becomes $0; first charge happens after the trial ends.
Trial + discount comboFree trial first, then the discount applies to the first invoice after the trial. E.g. "7 days free + 50% off first month."

How Long the Discount Lasts #

Every coupon has a duration setting that controls how many billing cycles the discount applies to:
Once

Discount applies to the first payment only. From the second payment onward, you pay full price.

Repeating

Discount applies for a fixed number of months (e.g. 3 months, 6 months). After that, full price.

Forever

Discount applies to every payment for as long as you stay subscribed. The longest and rarest type.

Why a Code Might Be Rejected #
