Hi @robert_baethe
It's not really well explained (or documented), but the coupon code seed value has at least two (2) purposes:
- It acts as part of the generated coupon code (i.e. a single coupon code that occurs after the prefix)
- It acts as a counter (plus the initial seed number) for the number of coupon codes that have been generated.
Given that the seed number does act as a counter, do be aware of the limits of the system based on the coupon code generation (with an appropriate coupon part count and coupon part length, you can generate in the range of about 4 billion unique coupon codes for a multicoupon code, give or take several hundred million)
From the point of actual marketers - I'd seek additional input for real use case examples here.
If you want to do a deep dive, you can explore the following two (2) classes:
- de.hybris.platform.couponservices.couponcodegeneration.impl.DefaultCouponCodesGenerator
- de.hybris.platform.couponservices.couponcodegeneration.impl.DefaultCouponCodeClearTextGenerationStrategy
