> How coupon codes work at checkout.

- Web page: https://documentation.federated.computer/platform/coreplatform/billing/coupons/

Coupon codes can be applied at checkout to reduce the initial charge when signing up for a You host account. If you have a coupon code, you can enter it during the checkout process before confirming your payment.

## Types of Discounts

Coupons can be configured in several ways:

- **Percentage discount** — Reduces the charge by a percentage (e.g., 20% off).
- **Fixed discount** — Reduces the charge by a set dollar amount.
- **Free** — Covers the full charge.

## What a Coupon Applies To

By default, coupons apply to your plan fee only. Some coupons are configured to also cover domain registration costs — these will be noted when you validate a code.

## Coupon Limits

Some coupons have a maximum number of uses. If a coupon is fully redeemed, it will no longer be accepted. Coupons may also have expiration dates.

> **Note:** Coupons are currently only applicable at checkout and cannot be applied retroactively to an existing account's billing. Contact support if you have questions about a coupon code.
