Application and development of coupons in PHP mall website

With the rapid development of e-commerce, more and more companies choose to transform traditional physical stores into online malls. In this highly competitive market environment, how to attract more users has become one of the important issues that merchants need to solve. As a common marketing method, coupons have also been widely used and developed in PHP mall websites.

First of all, let’s understand what a coupon is. A coupon is a shopping voucher issued by a merchant to a user. The user can use the coupon when purchasing goods to enjoy discounts or other specific benefits. The issuance and use of coupons can help merchants increase sales, improve user loyalty and promote user consumption.

In the PHP mall website, the application of coupons can be viewed from two perspectives: on the one hand, the coupons issued by merchants, and on the other hand, the coupons used by users. Merchants can set the rules and conditions for issuing coupons through the website's backend management system, such as full discounts, discounts, gifts, etc., as well as the validity period and usage range of coupons. Users can enter a coupon code or select an existing coupon when purchasing goods. The system will automatically calculate the discount amount that the user enjoys and deduct the discount amount from the total price of the product.

So, how do we develop the coupon function in the PHP mall website? First, we need to create corresponding data tables in the database to store coupon information, such as coupon number, face value, validity period, etc. Then, we can add coupon management functions to the website's backend management system, including adding, editing, and deleting coupons. When the user is shopping, we can add an input box for entering the coupon code on the shopping cart page, and verify the validity and usage conditions of the coupon through an AJAX asynchronous request. Finally, we can also display the coupon information used by the user on the order confirmation page and calculate the discount amount when generating the order.

In addition to the basic coupon functions, we can also increase the attractiveness and usage rate of coupons through some other expansions. For example, coupons can be combined with the user points system, and users can redeem coupons through consumption points; a special coupon activity page can also be developed to issue some snap-up coupons or limited-time coupons from time to time to attract users attention and participation.

At the same time, in order to improve the user's usage rate and promotion effect of coupons, we can also conduct some data statistics and analysis. By analyzing users' usage and purchasing behavior, we can understand which types of coupons are more popular with users and which users are more likely to be attracted by coupons. Based on this data, we can further optimize the setting and issuance strategy of coupons to improve the coupon usage effect and conversion rate.

To sum up, coupons, as a common marketing method, have been widely used and developed in PHP mall websites. By setting the rules and conditions of coupons appropriately, as well as adding some expansion and optimization, merchants can attract more users through coupons and increase users' purchasing desire and loyalty. At the same time, through statistics and analysis of user usage, merchants can further optimize coupon issuance strategies to obtain better marketing results. I believe that with the continuous development of e-commerce, the application and development of coupons in PHP mall websites will become more and more perfect and mature.
