Many online shops give out coupons to customers that can be redeemed for discounts on their purchases. An online coupon usually consists of a code that is given to users, valid for a specific time frame. The code can be redeemed one or multiple times.
We are going to create a coupon system for our shop. Our coupons will be valid for clients that enter the coupon in a specific time frame. The coupons will not have any limitations in terms of the number of times they can be redeemed, and they will be applied to the total value of the shopping cart. For this functionality, we will need to create a model to store the coupon code, a valid time frame, and the discount to apply.
Create a new application inside the myshop project using the following command:
python manage.py startapp coupons
Edit the settings.py file of myshop and add the application to the INSTALLED_APPS...
