Status State Machine¶

The status field represents whether or not a coupon is currently active and hence whether or not the customers are able to avail it. The initial state is inactive during which a coupon can't be used and an active state represents a coupon that can be used. As the name itself suggests, the time_expired & count_expired statuses represents coupons that have their ends_at past and their used_count having reached their max_count respectively.

Possible values: inactive, active, time_expired and count_expired. Below diagram shows possible transitions on the Variant Coupon status.
