Coupons are a smart and effective strategy for attracting new customers to your store and retaining existing ones.
However, as your store operates over time, the list of coupons in the backend tends to grow. To enhance management efficiency, proper organization of these coupons becomes essential. The default WooCommerce platform lacks a built-in feature for categorizing coupons.
This article explains how you can categorize your WooCommerce coupons using the Smart Coupons for WooCommerce plugin by WebToffee.

Once the plugin is installed and activated,
