welcome to syntax on this Monday hasty treat we're going to be talking about

coupon coupons building a coupon engine it's something that if you work in e-commerce or

something in general if you're working on the web now coupons are a whole thing now we're

going to be talking about some strategies for building a coupon engine some ideas behind it

some do's and don'ts and just some general thoughts my name is Scott Linsky I'm a developer

from Denver colorado and with me as always is Wes boss a coupon engines complicated lots of

if statements the if's if's if's is this coupon give discount. We are sponsored by three awesome

companies or two companies today. Parismic and log rocket let me tell you about prismic prismic

is a headless CMS where you just sign up and start creating your content types it's awesome so

they focus their CMS around this thing called slices which I think is really cool so

what you do is you sign up for prismic you log in you can start creating your data types

but instead of creating just like pages you can create slices so maybe you could create a

a person slice in a person way have a name and a job title and a photo and maybe some other

information that associated with that slice and then once you've got these different types of slices

you can bring them in and sort of it's just a page builder at that point what I really like is

that a slice on prismic is just a component in your application that whatever it is that you're

using to consume the API and build it out it works really good I use it myself on a website

about six months ago and I really really like that approach or check it out for yourself prismic.io
