This blog post will cover everything you need to know about coupon URLs in WooCommerce, including how to set up auto-apply coupon URLs using a Woocommerce free plugin. We’ll also explore advanced URL features available with the premium URL Coupons for WooCommerce plugin, which offers additional customizations and QR code support.
Customers always appreciate a hassle-free shopping experience! 🤩
So how do you make their shopping journey relaxed?
One good way is to bypass manually entering coupon codes! This would also reduce the number of customers leaving your store looking for other discount coupons and deals.
How would you offer discounts without applying coupon codes? Well, you can create unique coupon links or URLs for each coupon and offer them to the customers instead of raw coupons.
Key Takeaways
- URL coupons are promotions or discounts auto-applied to the store via a specific web link or URL.
- Steps to enable coupon URLs in WooCommerce using a free plugin.
- Access advanced URL coupon features with premium URL for WooCommerce plugin.
Coupon URLs are shareable WooCommerce discount links that automatically apply the discount when clicked. This adds convenience to the checkout process, allowing customers to apply coupons with a single click and eliminating the need to manually enter coupon codes.
While WooCommerce doesn’t offer a built-in feature to generate coupon URLs, you can use the free Smart Coupons plugin to create them. For more advanced features like generating coupon QR codes, setting custom redirect pages, attaching products to URLs, and more, the URL Coupons for WooCommerce plugin is here to help.
What are the benefits of adding Coupon URLs in WooCommerce?
- Drive customer engagement
- Easy to track
- Reduces cart abandonment
- Incentivize loyal customers
- Improves conversions
In order to generate coupon URLs using a free plugin, first install and activate the Smart Coupons for WooCommerce plugin from the WordPress directory. Then, follow the remaining steps.
Step 1: Create a Coupon
Start by creating a coupon, just as you would with the default WooCommerce coupon feature. Navigate to Smart Coupons > Add Coupon to create a new coupon. After entering a unique coupon code or generating one, you’ll notice an option to Copy coupon URL.
Step 2: Setting Advanced Coupon Conditions
Next, configure the coupon URL according to your specific requirements and click Publish. Don’t forget to copy the coupon URL. Once copied, you can embed it into a button or share it via email, popups, SMS, and more.
This pretty much sums up how to generate coupon URLs using the free plugin. Beyond the URL feature, this advanced WooCommerce coupon plugin offers next-level capabilities, such as BOGO deals, usage limits, and restrictions based on products or categories.
Using the advanced URL Coupon for WooCommerce plugin, you can attach products with coupon URLs, redirect them to custom set pages, and more.
You can also generate QR Codes corresponding to each coupon, just like the coupon URL, and download them with the premium plugin. When a user scans the QR code (provided the underlying coupon conditions are met), the respective coupon code will be automatically applied to the cart.
Conclusion
The URL coupons are a better alternative than the usual coupon code fields. Manually entering coupon codes is a real conversion killer, as customers often leave your site searching for coupons and may not return.
WooCommerce marketing with coupon URLs gives you the flexibility to redirect the customers to the cart and automatically apply coupons without any manual intervention. The QR code coupon features of the advanced URL coupons plugin are a good way to make your promotional campaigns effective.

We have Automate Woo for referals. But now when customers receive the referal they have to remind the code, then select a product, then add to cart and add the referal code.
We want to add the code after they click (in the mail or WhatsApp), then they land in the shop where people decide which product they want and after they add their product to the, the coupon will automatically apply.
So noone needs to remember the (long) coupon code or re-open the mail or WhatsApp for the copy-paste of the code.
Can this plugin do that?

Hi Wouter,
Thank you for reaching out. With the URL coupon, when a customer clicks on the link, they will be directed to the store, and the coupon will be applied automatically. Additionally, if you wish to automatically add a specific product(s) to the cart upon clicking the link, that’s possible as well. For more information, refer to this article.

Hi,
I want to know if your plugin can do this. I can make a picture or text with a keypad. When a user clicks on it, the coupon code will be stored in that user immediately. without being able to click twice like this again.
