Getting Started: Two Paths for Promotion Setup

There are two primary workflows for setting up location-based discounts:

Setting Up Promotions via Integrated Platforms

This is the recommended workflow if you sell your product via a supported payment platform.

Step 1: Connect to Your Payment Platform

  1. From the main sidebar, navigate to Promotions.
  2. Click the ”+ Create promotion” button.
  3. In the “Choose your platform” modal, select the platform you use. Supported integrations include:
    • Stripe
    • Lemon Squeezy
    • Paddle
    • Chargebee
    • Dodo Payments
    • Polar
    • Gumroad
    • Whop
    Choose your platform modal with payment logos
  4. If connecting for the first time, an authentication modal will appear. Enter the required credentials (e.g., Vendor ID, Auth code/API key) to connect your account.
    Authenticate with Paddle modal

Step 2: Select Your Product

After authenticating, the two-step promotion creation flow begins.
  1. Select Product: A list of products fetched from your connected platform account (e.g., Stripe) is displayed.
  2. Choose the product for which you want to set up discounts and click “Continue”.
    Select product screen

Step 3: Set Discounts

You will now see the “Set up discounts” screen, which displays countries grouped by their purchasing power parity factor.
  1. Review Discounts: Review the predefined discount percentages for each PPP group and update them as needed. If you do not want to offer a deal for a specific group, leave the discount box empty.
    ParityDeals will automatically create the necessary discount coupons on your integrated platform based on the percentage values you set here.
  2. (Optional) Override Group Discounts: To set a different discount for a specific country that overrides its group’s default discount, click the ”+ Create country-specific discount” button.
    • In the modal that appears, select a country from the dropdown, enter the Override discount %, and optionally a specific Coupon code if you want to use a pre-existing one.
    • Click ”+ Add more” to specify overrides for multiple countries.
    • Click “Create” to save your overrides.

Step 4: Create the Promotion

  1. Once you are satisfied with your discount settings, click the “Create promotion” button at the bottom-right of the page.

Setting Up Custom Promotions (Manual)

Use this method if you do not use one of our integrated platforms or prefer to manage coupon codes manually.

Step 1: Initiate Custom Setup

  1. Navigate to Promotions from the sidebar and click ”+ Create promotion”.
  2. Select “Custom setup” from the platform choice modal.
    Choose platform custom setup modal

Step 2: Define Product and Set Discounts

This action takes you to the “Create Promotion” page.
  1. Product Setup: In the “Product setup” section, enter your Product name manually.
    Product name input field
  2. Set Up Coupons: This section displays countries grouped by purchasing power parity.
    • Review Discounts: Review the predefined discount percentages for each group and update them as needed.
    • Enter Coupon Codes: You must first manually create the corresponding discount coupons in your payment provider’s platform. Then, paste each coupon code into the respective “Coupon code” field in ParityDeals.
  3. (Optional) Override Group Discounts:
    • Click the ”+ Create country-specific discount” button.
    • In the modal, select a country, set the Override discount %, and paste the specific Coupon code you created for it.
    • Click ”+ Add more” for additional country-specific overrides.
    • Click “Create” to save your overrides.

Step 3: Create the Promotion

  1. Once all discounts and coupon codes are set, click the “Create promotion” button at the bottom-right corner.
