What is a 100% coupon?
You can create coupons with a discount percentage of 100. This means that the viewer will not need to pay for your video. They will be given access to it entirely free of charge.
You can share the coupon code as a reward to your followers on social media -- for some kind of participation, message, or email your viewers who have not been around in a while. Once your customers have the code they can redeem the offered service for free!
Coupons are usually created for discounts like 25%, 50%, 75%, and any other percentage less than 100. Is it possible to provide the users with a coupon for a 100% discount so they can access the content for free?
The answer to your question is yes, you can create a 100% coupon for both SVOD and TVOD.
If you want to sell your content within an organization, such as if you have educational content that you want to sell to a school without charging students. This can be accomplished using 100% coupons.

When there are 50 students in a class, you can set the coupon limit at 50 to limit the number of coupons that can be used.
