How to Manage Allowed Time Ranges for Promo Codes?
This feature will allow the merchant to enable the promotion within the specified time ranges. There are 2 promocode time range types to select from. They are,
- Specific Day Range - allows to select a specific day in the week along with the time
- Specific Date Range - allows to set a date range along with the time
Prior to creating allowed time ranges, the merchant should create a promo code. Refer the article given below on how to create a promo code.
Use Case ScenarioSunset Bar, a neighborhood bar, wants to increase foot traffic during late afternoons by offering a daily Happy Hour promotion on drinks and small bites.
To automate this promotion and ensure a seamless customer experience, Sunset Bar uses the Allowed Time Ranges feature along with the Auto Apply on Checkout option via the Merchant Portal.
By using these features, Sunset Bar is able to:
Create a promo campaign (e.g., “HAPPYHOUR”) and configure it to automatically apply at checkout without requiring customers to enter a code.
Set a Specific Day Range for weekdays with defined time slots (e.g., 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM), ensuring the promotion runs only during Happy Hour.
Ultimately, this allows Sunset Bar to run automated, time-based promotions, improve customer convenience, and consistently drive traffic during targeted hours.
Step 1
Login to "Applova Merchant Web".
Step 2
Under "Settings" go to "Plugins" and then click "Promo Codes".
Step 3
Click "More" on a promo code and select "Allowed Time Ranges".
Step 4
Click on "Add Time Range".
Step 5
Select the appropriate time range type out of the 2 promocode time range types. Set the time range and click on "Add".
1. Specific Day Range - sets the day and time range for the promo code's validity. This schedule will repeat weekly during the selected time period.
Example: Suppose a merchant wants to create a promotion that repeats on every Sunday for a month, they can simply start by setting the start and end dates for that month when creating the promo code. Then, by selecting the time range type as "Specific Day Range" when setting "Allowed Time Ranges", the merchant can select Sunday as the recurring day.
2. Specific Date Range - sets a specific date range for the promo code's validity.
Example: Suppose a particular merchant wants to create a promotion that repeats on the 3rd of every month for a period of 1 year from 3rd of March 2025 to 3rd March 2026. First, the merchant can create a promo code and set the starting and ending dates as 3rd of March 2025 to 3rd March 2026. Then, by selecting the time range type as "Specific Date Range" when setting "Allowed Time Ranges", the merchant can set multiple time ranges for the 3rd of each month.
Step 6
Click on "Add Another Time Range" button to add multiple time ranges if needed.
Step 7
Click on "Save" after adding all the time ranges.
