n1coCupones
n1coCupones is where shoppers buy coupons and giftcards from affiliated businesses. The purchase happens online; the redemption happens at your business.
Integrating lets you receive every purchase the moment it happens, and validate codes when the customer arrives to redeem them — no emails, no manual processes.
Coupons and giftcards
Both products integrate exactly the same way: same purchase webhook, same alphanumeric code, same redemption API. What changes is what the customer gets in exchange for the code.
| Coupon | Giftcard | |
|---|---|---|
| What the customer buys | A specific promotion: a product or service at a reduced price. | An amount. |
| What you do when redeeming it | Hand over the promotion the coupon stands for. | Apply the amount as a means of payment. |
| Where the amount comes from | Not applicable: the coupon already defines what you hand over. | The price field that arrives with the purchase. |
The rest of this documentation applies to both. Differences are called out where they exist.
How the integration is organised
Two independent stages, each with its own responsibility:
| Stage | What it supplies |
|---|---|
| Receiving the purchase | The code and, for giftcards, the amount. |
| Redeeming the code | The code's validity and the final consumption. |
Neither duplicates the other. Because the amount arrives with the purchase, your system never needs to look it up online at the register.
Before implementing, read how it works: it covers the rules that shape the design, such as redemption being all-or-nothing.
