#### **Step 6:**

After updating the product, scroll to the bottom and click the **Update** button on the right bottom corner of the screen.

#### **Step 7:**

Click the **Save and Continue** button at the bottom left of the screen.

#### **Step 8:**

To add multiple coupons to one product, simply add each additional coupon on a new line without commas.

Authorize.net does not allow creating a subscription with a 100% discount (i.e., `$0` transaction amount).

**Workarounds:** Charge a Small Amount – Some businesses process a `$0.01` or $1 charge to initiate the subscription. Create a coupon code to give 99% discount.

First Cycle Free – Set up the subscription with a first billing cycle of `$0` (Trial Period), then charge the next cycle.
