There are two ways to import coupon codes in Magento 2 using Magento 2 Better Coupon Codes.

Import Coupon Codes using Text Area

In the Import Coupon Codes section, choose Text Area.

Then, manually enter the coupon codes in the Coupon fields. Each coupon code needs to be separated with a comma.

For example, t0HMht9eM, uKfJ6GxxK, 9umzr3B08, Z0lyCUyhv, 2qYzPfEzF.

Click on the Import button to complete the process and your coupon codes are ready to be generated and used in your campaigns.

After adding coupon codes in this way, you can also manage them as usual in the Manage Coupon Codes section.

Another way quicker and more convenient to import coupon codes in Magento 2 is through a CSV file. You need to prepare your CSV files containing the coupon codes you want to import and use them right away on your Admin backend panel.

This method saves you a great deal of time when importing multiple coupon codes rather than manually entering them the first way.

• Choose CSV in the Type section and upload a CSV file you have.
• Then again, click on the Import button to complete the process.

If you don’t have your CSV file ready, create a new one quickly with an available and downloadable CSV file sample via a single click.

If you add some coupon codes identically, there appear to be invalid. In this case, you will get a message that tells you the number of similar coupon codes, and they can’t be added to the list. So double-check your file before importing to ensure your coupon codes are new and acceptable.

After imported coupons?

After being imported, your coupon codes will be ready to use, just like the ones created with the usual coupon generator.

Code importation is a great way to create coupons. You don’t have to confine to only using the store-based generator, opening up the possibility of having someone else who is not store admins take care of codes creation for you. It’s also quick to do and is error-free.

Aside from this one, Better coupon also has other functions just as neat like a quick link builder and pre-applied coupon link.
