To prevent overuse, open the Usage limits tab and set:

• How many times the coupon can be used in total.
• How many times each customer can use it. Customers see their usage on the coupon, for example Usage: 1/3.
• Restrict usage to, once per product, so each product gets the discount only once.

Limit the coupon to selected shipping methods, payment methods, user roles, and billing or shipping locations from the Checkout options tab.

In the Giveaway products tab, choose a product to add to the cart for free or at a discount when the coupon applies.

In the Purchase history tab, restrict the coupon based on the customer’s past orders.
