If you’re running an online store, chances are you’re using WooCommerce. It’s one of the most popular eCommerce platforms on the web, and for good reason – it’s easy to use, and it’s free.
One of the great things about WooCommerce is that it lets you offer discounts and coupons to your customers. This can help you boost sales, and it’s a great way to show your appreciation for your customers’ business.
So, how do you use WooCommerce promo codes? In this article, we’ll show you how to set up and use WooCommerce promo codes in just a few minutes.
First, you need to install and activate the WooCommerce Coupons plugin. For more information, please see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.
Once the plugin is activated, go to WooCommerce > Coupons from your WordPress admin panel. From here, you can add a new coupon by clicking on the Add Coupon button.
On the next screen, you need to enter a coupon code and description. The coupon code is what your customers will enter at checkout to get the discount. The description is for your reference only and won’t be seen by your customers.
Now scroll down to the ‘Coupon Data’ section where you need to configure the main settings for your coupon code.
The first option is ‘Apply Coupon’. This controls whether the discount is applied before or after taxes have been calculated. If you’re not sure which option to choose, then we recommend leaving this setting at its default value of ‘Apply before taxes’.
The next setting is ‘Free Shipping’. This allows you to offer free shipping on orders that include products from specific categories or shipping classes. If you want to offer free shipping on all orders, then leave this setting as ‘No’.
The next two settings are ‘Exclude Sale Items’ and ‘Minimum Spend’. These settings let you control whether or not the coupon can be used on sale items, and if there’s a minimum spend required in order for the coupon to be valid. Again, we recommend leaving these settings at their default values.
The final setting in this section is ‘Maximum Spend’. This allows you to set a maximum spend limit for the coupon. If you don’t want to set a maximum spend limit, then leave this setting as ‘No Limit’.
Once you’ve configured the main settings for your coupon code, scroll down to the ‘Usage Restrictions’ section. Here you can control how often the coupon can be used, as well as who can use it.
The first setting is ‘Usage Limit Per Coupon’. This allows you to set a limit on the number of times that the coupon can be used in total. If you don’t want to set a usage limit, then leave this setting as ‘Unlimited Usage’.
The next setting is ‘Usage Limit Per User’. This allows you to set a limit on how many times each individual customer can use the coupon code. Again, if you don’t want to set a usage limit here, then leave this setting as ‘Unlimited Usage’.
The final usage restriction is ‘Allow Existing Customers’. This controls whether or not customers who have already placed an order on your website can use the coupon code. We recommend leaving this setting enabled so that everyone can take advantage of your discount!
In conclusion, using WooCommerce promo codes is easy with the right plugin installed. Simply create a new coupon code from the WordPress admin panel and configure the main settings.
Then scroll down and configure any usage restrictions that you want to enforce. Once you’re done, your customers will be able to take advantage of your discount at checkout!
