Promo Codes from a discount site

Hello, all:

I have a client who is making arrangements to be featured in one of the deal-a-day sites (e.g. Groupon). I know the Pro version supports promo codes, but need to be sure that this system will work.

Apparently, the site supplies (or you log in and download it) a CSV with the code, purchaser name, and status.

1) can you upload a file of valid codes?

2) Assuming this upload has to happen periodically, will the system filter out duplicates?

3) Of course, people will want to buy and then immediately sign up, but their code wouldn't be active until the next time the file is uploaded. Any way to automate?

Thanks in advance.

Here's a screenshot (click on it to enlarge it) of the coupon codes page located here

WP Admin -> s2Member -> Coupon Codes

Not sure if answers all your questions, though.

I hope it at least helps you a bit. :)

Sorry, there is no import functionality for Coupon Codes yet. At least not the in the official capacity of an actual File Import routine. However, as you can see in the screenshot that Cristian was kind enough to upload, it is possible to simply copy/paste Coupon Codes into s2Member. I've seen many site owners that actually keep an Excel Spreadsheet of Coupon Codes, and they'll do a line by line export before they paste them into s2Member.
