A coupon has either a percent_ or an amount_ and currency. If you set an amount_, that amount will be subtracted from any invoice’s subtotal. For example, an invoice with a subtotal of 100 EUR will have a final total of 0 EUR if a coupon with an amount_ of 20000 is applied to it and an invoice with a subtotal of 300 EUR will have a final total of 100 EUR if a coupon with an amount_ of 20000 is applied to it.
