How to create a coupon system in Adalo?

Step 1: Set Up Your Adalo Database

  • Head over to the Adalo dashboard and click on your app project.
  • Navigate to the database section.
  • Create a new collection called "Coupons".
  • Add fields for the Coupons collection:
  • Code (Text field)
  • Discount (Number field)
  • Expiration Date (Date and Time field)
  • Is Redeemed (True/False field)

Step 2: Create a Coupon Generation Screen

  • In the Adalo dashboard, add a new screen named "Generate Coupon".
  • Add a form component to let users generate coupons.
  • Link form inputs to the "Coupons" collection fields:
  • Code - User inputs or generated code
  • Discount - User inputs discount value
  • Expiration Date - User picks the expiration date
  • Is Redeemed - Default to false

Step 3: Create a Coupon List Screen

  • Add another screen named "Coupon List".
  • Add a list component and bind it to the "Coupons" collection.
  • Customize the list to show coupon codes, discount values, and expiration dates.
  • Add a filter to only show coupons where Is Redeemed is false.

Step 4: Create a Coupon Redemption Screen

  • Add a new screen named "Redeem Coupon".
  • Add an input field for users to enter the coupon code they want to redeem.
  • Add a button labeled "Redeem".
  • Set up an action for the button:
  • Use a custom action to search the "Coupons" collection for a coupon that matches the entered code and has Is Redeemed set to false.
  • If a matching coupon is found, mark Is Redeemed as true and apply the discount to the user's order.

Step 5: Verify Coupon Validity

  • In the "Redeem Coupon" screen, add logic to check the coupon’s expiration date.
  • Add conditional actions to verify if the coupon is still valid:
  • If the coupon is expired, show an alert or message indicating the coupon is not valid.
  • If the coupon is valid and not yet redeemed, proceed with the redemption process.

Step 6: Connect Screens and Actions

  • Link the "Generate Coupon" screen to the "Coupon List" screen so users can see generated coupons.
  • Link the "Coupon List" screen to the "Redeem Coupon" screen so users can easily navigate to redeem their coupons.
  • Make sure success messages are displayed upon successful addition of a coupon and successful redemption.

These steps should help in creating a basic yet functional coupon system within Adalo.
