How to enable WooCommerce Coupons #
To activation coupons go to WooCommerce in the left-hand menu, select Settings and then select General tab.
Now you need to enable coupons by ticking the checkbox.
Adding WooCommerce Coupons #
Go to the left hand menu Marketing → Coupons and then select the Add coupon button.
To add your coupon fill in the following:
Coupon code – this is a discount code entered by the customer in the cart.
Description – in this field you can add some information about your coupon, with as many details as you need. The description is only visible in the admin panel.
Even though the description is optional, it’s good to use it.
If you have multiple promotions or marketing campaigns it will help you identify the coupon after a few weeks or months.
