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.

CouponGiftcard
What the customer buysA specific promotion: a product or service at a reduced price.An amount.
What you do when redeeming itHand over the promotion the coupon stands for.Apply the amount as a means of payment.
Where the amount comes fromNot 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:

StageWhat it supplies
Receiving the purchaseThe code and, for giftcards, the amount.
Redeeming the codeThe 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.
