# How to use coupon codes for in-app subscriptions

## Offer discounted subscription prices that unlock only when a user enters a valid coupon code

Coupon codes let you create hidden subscription prices that only appear to users who have been given a code. This allows you to offer promotions, special rates, partner pricing, or limited-time discounts while keeping your primary subscription visible to the public
