Documentation/Smart Coupons for WooCommerce/Create a ‘Limited time/Seasonal discount offer’

Create a ‘Limited time/Seasonal discount offer’

Last updated on November 10, 2021

‘Limited-time/Seasonal discounts‘ usually come with tags like Hurry up, Ends in two days, Last chance, Until stock lasts, and so on to grab the customers’ attention and create a sense of urgency.

Using the Smart Coupon for the WooCommerce (Pro) plugin, you can set a definite start time and an expiration date for coupons, so that they behave like ‘Seasonal discounts’.

Get started

  • Firstly, install and activate the plugin.
  • From your WordPress dashboard, go to Smart Coupon > Coupons.
  • Setup ‘Seasonal discount offer’

    Let us see how an EOS (End of season sale) with a flat 50% discount storewide + free shipping from 25th December to 25th March can be implemented using smart coupon:

    1. From the coupon window which opens up, click on Add coupon to create a new coupon.
    2. The Add Coupon panel opens up.
    3. From the Discount type drop-down, select the percentage discount and mark the discount value as 50 as we have to offer a flat50% coupon.
    4. Next, tick the Allow free shipping checkbox to enable free shipping for all orders during the selected period.
    5. Now select the Coupon start date and the expiry date of the coupon from the date chooser.
    6. Optionally, you can make the coupon apply automatically by selecting the Apply coupon automatically checkbox.
    7. You can control the visibility of your coupon in My Account, Cart, and Checkout by selecting respective options from respective field.

      Hi
      the problem with this discount is that the coupon title that shows up in the shopping cart is titled “Free Products” –

      We need to have you all allow us to modify the coupon title b/c i get my customers feedbact stating that why isnt this free (and only discounted) when the coupon says “free products”…
