    I am a web developer working on a membership site that will have two modes of payment/registration.
    The first mode is a straightforward online payment/registration via Paypal, credit cards, etc.
    I see no problem here.

    The 2nd mode is registration with a prepaid coupon.
    These coupons will be purchased by sponsors and distributed to members.
    Each coupon will have a unique code comprised of the sales rep's initials and a sequential number.
    There will be hundreds, perhaps thousands, of coupons, each with a unique code.

    Can aMember handle hundreds or thousands of unique coupon codes?

    Can aMember generate these codes or will they need to be manually entered?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    aMember can handle coupons and generate them.
    Suggest you check out the trial version to see how it works.

    aMember can generate coupon codes, but they will be random. As such, to get the initials and sequential numbers, you'll have to manually edit the coupon codes.

    However, a custom plug-in could be created to generate coupon codes according to a template.

    Since coupon codes and all other data is stored in MySQL, there would be no problem with large numbers, even millions of coupon codes. Of course, if you get that large, some tweaking of the database server may be necessary, but that would happen for any large system regardless of software used.
