The Smart Coupons for WooCommerce plugin lets you bulk generate WooCommerce coupons and BOGO offers using its powerful Bulk Generate feature. This feature lets you automate coupon/offer creation and distribute them directly or export them for future use.
What Can You Do with Bulk Generation?
You can:
- Add coupons/offers directly to your WooCommerce store
- Export the generated coupons/offers as a CSV
- Email coupons/offers directly to recipients
Bulk-Generate WooCommerce Coupons and Offers
Once you have the plugin, head to Smart Coupons > Bulk Generate.
Step 1: Choose an Action
- Enter the number of coupons you want to generate and choose what should happen after creation.
- Add to Store – Save the generated coupons directly to your WooCommerce store.
- Export as CSV – Download the generated coupons as a CSV file.
- Email to the recipients – Send each coupon to the assigned recipient via email.
Step 2: Configure Coupon Settings
- Under Coupon settings, you can either load settings from an existing coupon (recommended for quick setups) or manually configure the coupon details.
Option A — Quick Setup (Recommended)
- If you want to reuse the configuration of an already existing coupon:
- Head to Quick Setup (Optional)
- Use the Load from existing coupon field to search and select a coupon you want to copy
- The selected coupon’s settings will automatically populate all relevant fields below.
Option B — Configure Manually
- If you want to set up the coupon from scratch, configure each tab manually.
- Select a Discount type
- Enter the Coupon amount
- Enable Free shipping, if applicable
- Enable Apply coupon automatically for auto-apply behavior
- Choose where to Display coupon (My Account, Checkout, Cart, Product Page)
- Configure coupon schedule settings.
- Set a start date and time
- Choose expiry in days or set a specific expiry date
- Select the active days of the week
- You can further define coupon behavior using the following tabs:
- Usage restriction – Set product/category restrictions and spending limits
- Usage limits – Control total and per-user usage
- Checkout options – Modify checkout display and behavior
- Giveaway products – Configure free/gift products if applicable
- Purchase history – Target users based on previous purchases
Step 3: Generate Coupons
- After completing the configuration, scroll down and click Generate coupon.
- The coupons will be created based on your settings and processed according to the action selected in Step 1.
You can now set up the coupon or BOGO offer using the coupon data. Depending on the selected generation method, the offers/Coupons will be generated in bulk.
The configuration options for Coupon data can vary depending on the type of discount you’re looking to generate in bulk. Generally, you’ll find that it’s quite similar for percentage, fixed, fixed product, and store credit coupons, while BOGO offers have their own unique configuration.
When you restrict coupons/offers to specific email addresses using the Allowed Emails setting, the number of coupons/offers generated will be based on the lower value of:
- Number of coupons/offers specified, or
- Number of allowed email addresses.
Example Scenarios
Scenario 1:
- Allowed Emails: 2
- Coupons to Generate: 10
👉 Only 2 coupons will be created and assigned to the 2 email addresses.
Scenario 2:
- Allowed Emails: 10
- Coupons to Generate: 2
👉 Only 2 coupons will be created and sent to the first 2 email addresses.

Hi, After generating the bulk emails to csv, I have tried to test one of the generated codes. by placing it in the coupon code box on the checkout page. The discount is not being applied. Is there anything that could be causing that. I am using Avada theme.

Hi Team,
Just wondering if I can generate bulk coupons and ADD TO STORE as well as EXPORT AS A CSV – so do both. I generate hundreds of vouchers per year, and this function would save me having to copy & paste each one after generating and adding to store. Thanks, Mel.

Hi Mel,
Thank you for reaching out. Smart Coupon can either generate coupons in bulk and add them to the store or export them as a CSV file, but it cannot do both simultaneously. If you need the same coupons added to the store and exported as a CSV file, please consider using the WooCommerce Coupon Generator plugin.

Hi,
I installed and activated the plug in “smart Coupons”. The reason for me to use this plug in was to generate bulk coupons at once.
but unfortunately there is no button or smthng where I can select bulk generating. I already tried all the manuals but the button to click for bulk generating is missing…
could you please support?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Enes

Hi Enes,
Thank you for reaching out. If you are using Smart Coupons for WooCommerce, you can find the bulk generate coupon option from Smart Coupon > Bulk Generate. Once you are in the tab, after configuration, you can click on the Generate coupons button at the bottom of the page. If you’re still not able to generate coupons, kindly reach out to our support team.

Hello MinKyung,
Thank you for reaching out. If you find that the Bulk Generate tab is missing from the plugin menu, it may be due to the tab being disabled. To re-enable the tab, please follow these steps:
1. Go to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to Smart Coupon > General Settings.
2. In your browser’s address bar, add “&debug” to the end of the URL.
3. A new debug tab will appear within General Settings.
4. Go to the Debug tab (Smart Coupons > General Settings > Debug).
5. Under Admin Modules, check if the bulk_generate option is enabled. If not, enable the option and click Save.
Now, the Bulk Generate option will be accessible under the Smart Coupons main menu. If you encounter any further issues, please feel free to reach out to our support team.

Hi . Can i check the user lists (or download data) who used the coupon?

Hi Lisa,
Thank you for reaching out to us. When generating coupons, you can download the list of coupon generated. However, currently downloading the list of users who have utilized the coupon is not supported.

Does the mass generation of coupons support the field required by Dokan “Coupon Price Deduct”?
Mark
March 28, 2023
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?
Lori

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?
Mike
October 31, 2021
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?
Mark
July 25, 2021
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
Mark
July 25, 2021
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?
Mark

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%.
Mark

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.
