How Coupons Work?

Coupons are a great business tool for offering discounts to your customers. This is a good strategy to increase your sales.

When you offer a Coupon Code and customers apply it at the Checkout Page or it’s automatically applied, the discount value (amount or percentage) of the coupon code will be deducted from the subtotal.

Enabling the Use of Coupons

To add coupons on your online store, make sure that it is enabled in your WooCommerce Settings. From your WordPress dashboard, go to WooCommerce > Settings.

In the General Options section under the General Tab, tick the Enable the use of coupon codes checkbox.

Adding Coupons

You can create coupons from WooCommerce > Coupons. Click on the Add Coupon button.

You can create your own coupon code name or generate a coupon code by clicking on the Generate coupon code button. You can add a description of your discount if you want. This helps you remember what the coupon code is for.

Applying Coupon in the CartFlows Checkout Page

There are two ways that a coupon can be applied to a Checkout Page.

1. A customer enters the coupon code in the Coupon Field.
2. The coupon code is automatically applied.

To edit your checkout page, from your WordPress dashboard, go to CartFlows > Flows. Select a Flow, then click on Edit.

Click the corresponding Edit link for the Checkout Page.

Manual Application of the Coupon Code

Scroll down to the Checkout Layout section. In the Checkout Fields tab, make sure that the Enable Coupon Field checkbox is ticked. Click Update.

This allows the customer to manually enter a coupon code in the checkout page.

Automatic Application of the Coupon Code

You can set a specific coupon in the checkout page so that the customers do not need to enter a coupon code and it automatically discounts the product.

In the Select Product tab, select a coupon in the Apply Coupon field. Click Update.

You might also want to disable the Coupon Field by deselecting the checkbox in the Checkout Fields tab.

This automatically calculates the discount and the customer cannot add another coupon code.
