How to Set Up Auto-Apply Coupons at WooCommerce Checkout

Auto-apply coupons simplifies the checkout process for customers by automatically applying eligible discounts without the need for manual entry.

To automate your discounts, follow these steps:

• Create a Coupon: Navigate to Smart Coupons > Add Coupon.
• Enable Automation: Under the General tab, scroll down and check the Apply Coupon Automatically box.
• Manage Priority: View and organize your automated offers by navigating to Smart Coupons > All Coupons > Auto-apply coupons, where they are listed by priority.
• Optimize Performance: Adjust settings such as the Max auto-apply coupons per cart (default is 5) or the number of coupons checked for eligibility to improve store processing time.

This feature enhances user experience and helps reduce potential errors. The Smart Coupons for WooCommerce lets you integrate this functionality into your store for free.

• First of all, install and activate Smart Coupons for WooCommerce.
• Go to Marketing > Coupons from your WordPress dashboard.

1. Click on Add Coupon to create a new coupon.
2. Enter the Coupon Code and Description in their respective fields.
3. In the General tab, configure the Discount Type and Coupon Amount.
4. Scroll down and enable the Apply Coupon Automatically option.
5. Click on Publish to save the coupon.

The above-configured coupon is a simple coupon that will auto-apply to the cart.

To manage auto-apply coupons efficiently, navigate to Smart Coupons > All Coupons > Auto Apply Coupons. This page lists all auto-apply coupons based on priority, higher-priority coupons first.

The plugin checks for applicable auto-apply coupons on adding a product to the cart. The following settings determine the number of coupons checked:

1. Max auto-apply coupons per cart : By default, this is set to 5.
2. No of coupons will be checked for auto-apply eligibility: All available auto-apply coupons are checked by default.

The plugin actively scans until it finds up to five eligible coupons for the cart. To improve processing time, limit the number of coupons checked for auto-apply eligibility.

To adjust the number of coupons checked for auto-apply eligibility and the maximum number of auto-apply coupons allowed for a cart:

1. Select Auto-apply coupon settings from the auto-apply coupons page.

By default, the values are:

1. Max auto-apply coupons per cart = 5
2. No of coupons will be checked for auto-apply eligibility = Total number of auto-apply coupons available in the store.
3. Modify these values as needed and click on Save Settings to apply changes.
