Best practices
Creating many coupons could lead to performance issues. Magento recommends keeping the number of coupons in your database (that is the number of records in the salesrule_coupon
DB table) below around 250000.
Following approaches will help you in keeping the number of coupons within recommended limit:
- Remove coupons if they are not needed any more.
- Generate the exact number of coupons needed to meet the 'discount' campaign needs.
