You don’t put the coupon code anywhere. You give it to people who you intend to use it. They then use the coupon when they sign up, and get the discount.
The only other thing you must do is ensure that your button code accepts coupons. For this it must say accept_coupons="1"
Does it matter where abouts in the button code the accept_coupons=”1″ needs to be, for example this is my bottom code below with a terms and conditions plugging attached to it, where would I put the accept_coupons=”1″? Thanks for your help!
<input id=”our-terms-conds” type=”checkbox” /> Yes, I agree to the Terms/Conditions.

hmmm sorry that button code didn’t come up correctly for some reason here it is again:
<input id=”our-terms-conds” type=”checkbox” /> Yes, I agree to the Terms/Conditions.

nope it’s still not coming up in full for some reason, just showing the short version 🙁
To type out code here, you need to hit the backtick key (usually at the top left of your keyboard, above the tab key) both before and afterwards.
You can see how the code should look by generating the code for a Pro Form, and then adjusting it. (I assume you have the Pro version because coupons are only available with Pro anyway.)
Now I think about it again, I’m not sure whether coupons will work with a button, because that option isn’t in the back-end, but you can try. If it doesn’t work with a button, it certainly will work with a form, and you then will just need to change accept_coupons="0" in the code that the generator produces to accept_coupons="1"
Coupons wont work with a button because there would be no place for the visitor to enter the code.
It only works with the pro-form.
