Specifically for Paid Apps 

Hi All - We are working on a concept of Coupon Codes.

** The Coupon codes are not to unlock any In App features **

We are working on a model where Corona users can integrate a coupon model in their apps. The Coupons don’t unlock special features in the app as its against the App store/Play store policies.

But this module is just a courtesy gift module where you can gift your users some Ebooks,Videos,Games for purchasing your App. My functionality will provide a Coupon Code/Gift Code in the app where people can click on it to send that coupon by email and then get the gift associated with that coupon.

We are still working on the monetizing.

Is this service really needed?? 

Anybody looking to pay for this service may be $0.10 for every used Coupon Code in their App ? We will be taking care of all the backend work to send the EGifts. 

Is this against any App Store/Play Store/BN policy?

I don’t want to discourage you, but I don’t why anyone would pay $0.10 per coupon for this.

Maybe I just don’t understand your intended market. For example, lets assume I have an ebook I want to give away. I could use your method to give away 1000 copies and pay you $100. There are lots of ways I could give the ebook away that wouldn’t cost me anything.

Sorry for the confusion. I meant that the ebooks,videos,games etc would be also arranged by us. For example , we work with Ebook publishers and get their ebooks under this.

So, you dont need to worry about the EBooks , Videos , Games etc. We will arrange all.

All you have to do as developer is to select what you want to gift from our available gifts in the backend panel and integrate the Coupon Module and publish the app and we will do the rest. And for each redeemed coupons,we charge you around $0.10. 

Makes sense now?

OK, now I have a better understanding of what you’re planning.

I would probably need to know what the gifts are, to determine if it makes sense to add this to an app.

Hopefully others will provide you some feedback.

The gifts include - some copies of 0.99 Ebooks from Amazon & BN( with some Ads on the last page), some Math and English worksheets for Kids , some paid Apps etc.
