Troubleshooting#
The Coupon preview setting is unavailable#
Check that the Coupon Preview add-on is active and that Flexible PDF Coupons PRO is updated to version 2.6.0 or later.
The Preview coupon button does not appear#
Check the global, product, and variation preview settings. Make sure the product is configured as a PDF coupon and has a published coupon template assigned. For variable products, select an eligible variation.
A Flexible Product Fields value is missing#
Check that Custom Shortcodes and Flexible Product Fields are active, that the field is assigned to the coupon product, and that its shortcode is inserted in the template assigned to that product. Enter a value on the product page before opening the preview.
The preview does not load#
If the request has expired, reload the product page and try again. If you see a message about too many preview requests, wait before retrying. If rendering takes too long, use Retry in the preview dialog.
