In the following description, the same or corresponding components are denoted by the same reference numerals A duplicate description thereof will be omitted.

1 is a block diagram illustrating a coupon service providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the coupon service providing system according to the present embodiment includes a coupon issuing module 100 and a review interworking module 200.

The coupon issuing module 100 includes a coupon registering unit 110, a coupon list managing unit 120, a review creating page generating unit 130, and a coupon activating unit 140.

The coupon registering unit 110 performs a function of registering a coupon for a merchandise or a shop of a merchant (for example, a coupon for a commodity) at the request of the merchant. The merchants can input information for requesting registration of a coupon for their goods or stores through a coupon service providing system and a user client (for example, a smart phone, a computer, etc.) And registers coupons for the goods or stores in a preset storage space (server, database, etc.).
