Signup CouponsUsing the Smart Coupon for WooCommerce plugin, Users can generate coupons in bulk using the Bulk Generate functionality. A specific number of coupons are generated as per the matching criteria from the Coupon data section. The generated coupons can be:
- Added to the store
- Exported as a CSV
- Emailed to the recipients directly
Settings
- First of all, install and activate the plugin, a new menu Smart coupon will appear in your WordPress dashboard.
- Head on to Smart Coupons > Bulk Generate.
- From the Action section, specify the following:
- No. of coupon need to be generated: Number of coupons to generate. As many coupons as required will be generated in bulk as per the matching criteria.
- Generate Coupons and:
- Add to store: Adds the generated coupons to the store.
- Export as CSV: Exports the generated coupons into a CSV file for future use.
- Email recipient: Emails the respective coupons to the recipients. This works in combination with Allowed emails option available under usage restriction.
Once the settings are in place, assign a prefix and suffix for the coupon, if required. The coupon_code is a unique randomized alphanumeric character of length 12 which will be generated automatically. Click on Generate Coupon button to issue coupons as per the pre-defined configurations.
Bulk generate with allowed emails option:
If email restriction is applied under allowed emails option, the application generates only enough number of coupons depending on whichever is the lowest value, either the coupon number or the number of emails.
For instance, consider the below scenario:
- Restrict to only two emails in the Allowed Email field of the User Restriction section as shown above:
- Enter 10 coupons to be generated in the Bulk Generation section:
Even though 10 coupons are given for generation only two coupons will be generated and assigned to those restricted users in the order listed. Alternatively, if you provide 2 coupons and 10 emails, only two coupons will be generated and assigned to the first two email ids.

Does the mass generation of coupons support the field required by Dokan “Coupon Price Deduct”?

Hi Hedii,
Currently, it supports the default wooCommerce fields and the fields added by Smart Coupons for WooCommerce plugin. As we haven’t yet tested it with Dokan fields, we can’t confirm the same. You are welcome to purchase and try out the plugin. If not suited, you can get a refund by requesting within 30 days of purchase.

When bulk generating coupons is it possible to automatically create a url for each coupon generated this way?

Hello, We would like to generate 4000 coupon codes with the same discount. If we download them in CSV they won’t be valid right away? We will have to upload them?
If yes where do you upload them?

Hello, I need a bulk coupon generator for Woo and have a few questions:
1. Right now I just use “Add Coupon” and manually enter each one. I can then see it on the Coupon page. In your plugin if I choose Export as CSV (so that I have a list to send to clients) will it also add these to the Coupon page so that they’re ready to use, or do I still have to somehow enter them?
2. What does Add to Store mean in comparison to Export as CSV?
3. I use a 3 digit prefix for each client. After generating the first set of coupon codes, does the plugin know to use unique codes on subsequent orders to make sure there are no duplicates?
Thanks!

When generating bulk Coupon Codes, for lets say $10 each, can users claim them as credits to their accounts rather then spending them straightaway?

Hi Jakub,
Thanks for reaching out. You can bulk generate store credits for that purpose. Select “store credit” as the discount type while generating the coupons.

If I need to both have a csv file of the coupons and have them in the store, is the only solution to generate these onto a csv, then use the import function to import those coupons?
Or can both be done in one go?

Hi Lauren,
You must export them as CSV and then import the CSV. You won’t be able to do them in one go as of now.

Is there a limit of the number of coupons generated in “one click” bulk to a CSV file? For example, if I want to generate 4000 different coupons in one time. Will the csv file will be with 4000 different coupon codes?
Thanks, Tomer

Hi Tomer,
The plugin does not have any such limitations. However since this is large data handling, it would depend on the server performance. You can create 4000 coupons with unique code in one go by directly adding to cart or via CSV. It is better to directly add to cart. If you are exporting as CSV, you will need to import the CSV later.

After I try to Export the coupon codes I generated to a CSV file, the file does not automatically pop up at the bottom of my screen to download. Any ideas why or how to resolve?

Hi Erin,
By default, it will download into a CSV and the browser will handle it as any other download link. Please check in the download folder of your browser.

Hi there. Just to be 100% sure. Is it possible to create an unique coupon code for every customer in my woocommerce database?
So for example: every customer that has ever ordered with filling in an email before, will receive an unique coupon code of 15%.

Unfortunately, there is no one-click solution to generate coupons in bulk for all customers. You will have to enter the email address of the existing users in to the user email field, separated by a comma to generate coupons for all.

If I disable the email restriction, could I bulk generate 50 codes and email them to one recipient?
Does the email restriction work by checking the user email address or the buyers billing email address?
Mark
November 5, 2020
Email restriction field checks the billing email entered in the checkout page. Unfortunately, it is not possible to email 50 coupon codes to single user by the bulk generate option. To email the code, you will need to enter the email address in the email restriction fields and once you enter it, coupon will be generated according to the number of emails you entered in the field.
I hope we are clear. Let us know if there is anything else we can help with.

Once you click the Export as CSV, then you can save the file locally.
