How can I create a discount code that's valid only on Tuesday?

The title of this thread has been edited from the original: Weekly Coupon

I want to create an online coupon code for our online orders.

For context, we are a coffeehouse and NA Bar.

I want to have "two dollar tuesdays" with $2 off the entire online order -- but I want it to happen EVERY Tuesday with the same code "2DOLLAR"

I can figure out how to make a coupon code, and how to make it apply to the whole order. And it makes sense how to give a start and end date. But I can't figure out how (or if) I can make it happen ONLY one day a week.

Is this possible?

Hi, @Wakery !

Unfortunately, Square's current discount system doesn't have a built-in feature for day-of-week restrictions on discount codes. Hopefully this is on the roadmap for the future!

Here are your options with Square:

Manual Time-Based Discounts

Create individual discount codes for each Tuesday
Set specific start/end dates for each (midnight to 11:59 PM on each Tuesday)
This requires more management but ensures the restriction works

Honor System Approach

Create the "2DOLLAR" code as an ongoing discount
Clearly communicate (in your marketing, menu, and online presence) that it's only valid on Tuesdays
Train staff to expect these orders on Tuesdays
Note that customers could technically use it any day

Alternative Solution Instead of using a discount code, you could:

Use Square's "Automatic Discounts" feature
Create a Tuesday-specific menu or price list
This would automatically apply the discount on Tuesdays without requiring a code

The most secure way to implement this would be option #1, creating individual codes for each Tuesday, though it requires more management.

I know this probably isn't the answer you wanted, but I hope it helps.
