How to Generate Coupons and Discounts in wordpress ecommerce

Here is how to generate coupons and discounts:

1. Login to your WordPress Dashboard.
2. Go to Products > Marketing.
3. Click Add Coupon. You’ll see the Coupons configuration box.
4. Configure Coupons, here are the steps:

  • Fill in every field required: Coupon Code, Discount, Start (date), Expiry (date)
  • Checklist Use Once if you wanna generate single-use coupons, do otherwise if you wanna generate multiple-use coupons
  • Checklist Active, which you can any time inactivate without modifying any configuration
  • Checklist Apply on All Products if you wanna have discounts applied to all products in your store, do otherwise if you wanna have them applied to certain products
  • Configure Conditions, consisting 3 sections you can freely modify: (1) factors: item name, item quantity, total quantity, subtotal amount; (2) variables: is equal to, is greater than, is less than, contains, does not contain, begins with, ends with; (3) value

When you have activated at least one coupon configuration, on Checkout page your buyers will be able to submit an optional coupon code.

*Note: Due to a current limitation of PayPal, if your user makes a purchase and uses a coupon, we can not send a list of items through to paypal for processing. Rather, we must send the total amount of the purchase, so that within PayPal the user who purchases a product will see your shop name and the total amount of their purchase.

    Very Good site, thank yo mister, it’s help’s me!

  2. Hello!
    I’m using this site for a Distributor with various price categories depending on quantity purchased. Can you tell me how I would customize this to offer the discount once a specific quantity is reached? ie: 1-99pcs= $4.95 ea, 100-999 pcs= $1.97 ea, 1000+ pcs= $1.77 ea.

    This will also need to be specific for each Category.

    I’m using the Dangdoot theme.

    Thank you!
    ~Christi
