The WebToffee Gift Cards for WooCommerce free plugin allows you to create specialized ‘Store Credit’ coupons that customers can use multiple times until their balance is gone. Unlike a standard flat discount that disappears after one use, store credit retains its value for the customer’s next purchase. To set this up, navigate to Marketing > Coupons in your WordPress dashboard, add a new coupon, and select ‘Store credit’ as the Discount Type. After you publish the coupon, the plugin updates its balance every time a customer uses it at checkout. For example, consider making a $10 purchase and having 3 different coupons.
- 25% flat discount coupon: You’ll save $2.5, but it’s no longer usable.
- $25 flat discount coupon: The item is free, but you lose the remaining $15 because you can’t use the coupon again.
- $25 store credit coupon: The item will be free, and you’ll still have $15 left on the coupon to spend on your next purchase.
Creating a store credit coupon
- Install and activate the WebToffee Gift Cards for WooCommerce free plugin.
- From the WordPress dashboard, navigate to Marketing > Coupons > Add Coupon.
- Select Store credit as the Discount type.
- Set a Coupon amount.
- Configure the usage restrictions and usage limits as needed.
>> Set Up WooCommerce Coupons with Smart Coupons for WooCommerce.
- Publish the coupon.
The plugin updates the coupon balance each time a customer uses the coupon. For example, if a customer places a $30 order with a $50 store credit coupon, the plugin reduces the coupon balance to $20.
Customers apply the coupon in the cart just like any other coupon.
