What is Text Coupon Software?
Text Message Coupon Types
Static Barcodes
Most commonly known as QR codes, static barcodes can be used both in-store and online. The customer simply scans the code at the time of purchase and the discount is automatically applied to their purchase. Many customers prefer static barcodes over other types of textable coupons and discounts because they’re simple to use.

Static Promo Codes
Static promo codes simplify life for business owners. Simply create the offer, insert it into a message, and send it to one contact or to an entire group. It is the easiest way to send offers to customers who can then see the promo code by scanning the promo code during their in-store purchase, again using their smartphone device.
Unique Barcodes
The QR code is one of the most common barcodes used in SMS marketing, although several others are easily generated to provide a discount to customers. With unique barcodes, you eliminate duplicate use and can provide customer-specific deals.
