# Coupon types
> Refer to the tables with descriptions of dedicated Coupon Type Setup fields.
The **Coupon Type Card** gives you the option to create a setup for coupons. It has four sections: **General**, **Issue Coupon**, **Validate Coupon** and **Apply Discount**.
In the **General** section the following fields can be defined:
| Field Name | Description |
| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Code** | The unique code for coupon. |
| **Description** | The short description of a coupon. |
| **Discount Type** | You can choose between two methods of conveying discounts - **Discount amount** or **Discount %**. |
| **Discount Amount** | The amount that will be on the coupon. |
| **Discount %** | The discount percentage that the customer gets with the coupon. |
| **Max. Discount Amount** | The maximum amount on which the discount will be calculated. |
| **POS Store Group** | The group of stores in which the coupon can be used. If this field is left blank, it will be possible to use the coupon in all stores. |
| **Coupon Qty. (Open)** | The number of open coupons. |
| **Arch. Coupon Qty.** | The number of archived coupons. |
| **Enabled** | If the coupon type is in use, this field should be checked. |
