With URL Coupons, you can pass a coupon code in a URL and automatically apply it on any page by preserving the usage restrictions if any. It can be created by simply appending the coupon code along with the link. URL Coupons can be used in external sites or internally in your site for promoting your coupons that can be embedded within texts, images or anything similar that suits the theme of your website. You can implement the URL coupon by using the following syntax:
<site_url>/?wt_coupon=<coupon_code>
For example, to implement a URL coupon in the cart page of a website www.webtoffee.com with the coupon code FLAT30, specify the URL coupon in the following format:
https://www.webtoffee.com/cart/?wt_coupon=flat30
Suppose I have a page named sample page in my store. In order to pass a coupon code with a URL and to get it automatically applied, we need to create a link in the format as specified above. It is to be noted that the coupon URL can be applied to images, texts, etc. In this case, I have used the coupon shortcode for linking the URL. Just copy and paste a coupon shortcode to this sample page and create a hyperlink. We can redirect the coupon URL to the cart page where it is automatically applied.
Note: A coupon shortcode is a unique code generated for each coupon created in your store. It can be used for illustrating the coupon with its configured style and description in whichever page as required to make the print advertising actionable. Shortcodes for the coupons are created by the Smart Coupon for Woocommerce plugin and it can be used internally in your site where it is installed.
