Attention Google Engage Members

4 replies
Just wondering if there's a way to verify a company has used your coupon.

I'm sending out the e-mails that Google includes, and I put a 24 hour expiration date on it from the point they receive the e-mail.

I know it's flawed in that they COULD put the coupon code in any time before Google allows it to expire, but it'd be nice to be able to check on my end after the 24 hours is up if they used it or not.

Thanks,

James

    Right now, no. They have bugs in the system that they have apparently been working out for the past 6 months it seems.

    The best you can do is at least to track if they actually interested in your coupons.

    You set up a script n your website which will display the URL in the browser addres bar on your webpage.

    Then when you send a code to your clients you simply say this "
    click here to get your code:

    http://www.yourdomain.com/code.php?1...5432-8976-5678

    where 1234-456-56788-5432-8976-5678 is Google voucher.

    When they click on that link it will appear in the address bar in their browser and on your page.



    Then you go to your stats program and see which voucher # was checked by your clients.

    If you are sending the same code to many clients then You can even include clients Phone # or his email in that URL so you can even see who exactly checked the code and when.

    At least you will have an idea if any of your clients were actually interested in those coupons and if your 24 hours time expiry plays any role.

        Nope, they just need to set the payments to manual opposed to automatic.
