Set Up Seasonal Discount Offers with Smart Coupons for WooCommerce

The WebToffee Smart Coupons for WooCommerce free plugin allows you to easily schedule seasonal promotions by setting specific start and end dates for your discounts. To set this up, go to Marketing > Coupons in your WordPress dashboard and create a new coupon with a ‘Percentage’ or ‘Fixed’ discount. By using the ‘Start Date’ and ‘Expiry Date’ fields, you can ensure your sale, like a Black Friday or Holiday event, automatically activates and deactivates at the right time, creating urgency without manual updates. This article walks you through the steps to set up an End of Season (EOS) Sale with a 50% storewide discount.

• Install and activate the Smart Coupons for WooCommerce plugin on your WordPress site.
• From your WordPress dashboard, go to Marketing > Coupons.
• Click on Add New to create a new coupon.

In this example, we’ll create a 50% storewide discount running from November 25th to December 25th.

• In the Add Coupon window, either:
  • Enter a custom coupon code, OR
  • Click Generate coupon code to auto-generate one.
• Under Coupon Data > General, select Percentage Discount from the Discount type dropdown.
• Set the Discount Value to 50 (for a 50% flat discount).

• Use the Start Date and Expiry Date fields to schedule your coupon:
  • Start Date: November 25th
  • End Date: December 25th

• Check the Apply coupon automatically box to ensure the coupon applies without customer input.

• If you want the discount to apply only to certain product categories:
  1. Go to the Usage Restriction tab.
  2. Select the desired categories from the Product categories field.

• Click Publish to activate the coupon.
