Creating a coupon with restrictions

The coupon system built into WooCommerce isn't simplistic. There are all sorts of limitations you can add on to coupons to make sure that they're only used in the right way. You can create coupons for specific users, coupons that can be used a certain number of times, or coupons that are limited to certain amounts.

We'll be creating a coupon that you can give out at a conference. It can only be used 100 times, it will only be active for a month, and it can only be used on orders over $50. This will make sure that you don't lose money on your promotions but users still get a good deal.

How to do it...

We'll be creating a regular coupon and then tweaking a few extra settings to add the appropriate restrictions. Let's take a look at the following steps:

  1. From the WordPress admin, go to WooCommerce | Coupons.
  2. Click on Add Coupon.
  3. Enter the code you want in the Coupon code field.
  4. Enter the discount you want in the Coupon amount field...
