'Gutschein' and 'Gutscheincode' both belong to shopping and can bring a benefit. A 'Gutschein' is the general value or entitlement, for example as a card, paper document, or digital gift. You can use it to pay for something or receive a service. A 'Gutscheincode' is only the string of letters or numbers that you usually enter online. Learners confuse the words because a coupon code can belong to a voucher. When you are talking about the gift or the value, you say 'Gutschein'. When you mean the letters and numbers in the online shop, you say 'Gutscheincode'.
