  The difference between single-use and multi-use coupons is one of the most frequently asked questions. I'll carefully explain the difference between single-use and multi-use coupons in this article.
  
  Digital single-use coupons are, like the name already reveals, meant for single use only. People can only use it one time.
  
  This is how a single-use coupon URL looks: (It's just an example of the URL format)
  https://digicpn.com/p/1a2b3c/d7b6ysd9kbjg9pykiy3qb -> the suffix is already defined. Coupon is only accessible with this URL.
  
  Single-use is only available in the silver and gold plan.
  
  Advantages:
• People can only use the coupon if they have the entire access URL. If they don't, they can't access your coupon.
  
  
• People can share the coupon with others, but the coupon can only be used once. If someone shares his coupon with a friend, only one of them can actually use it.
  
  
• Multi-use coupons rely on cookies while a single-use coupon is ONLY accessible through the right URL
  
  
  Features you can't use on a single-use coupon
• You can't reset a single-use coupon after validation
  
  
• Not possible to require FB claim method
  
  
• Not possible/ not recommendable to distribute through: website pop ups, website integration, social media
  
  
• Not possible to adjust share settings

  The name may fool you. Those coupons are also meant for single-use but aren't a 100% airtight. Those 'multi-use' coupons rely on a cookie so people could be able to falsify.
  
  This is how a multi-use coupon URL looks: (It's just an example of the URL format)
  https://digicpn.com/p/1a2b3c/123458abcdef -> the last part is uniquely generated for every user.
  
  Not 100% fraud proof?
• Browser cookies can be erased
  
  
• People can use the coupon on multiple devices
  
  
• People can use the coupon incognito
  
  
• People can share it with their friends.
