I need a coupon code plugin that can be used in place of payment methods. e.g when a user wants to purchase a product or signup as a paid member and doesn’t have a bank account to perform payment transactions, he/she can give me the cash and I send the coupon code that represents the product cost to them to be able to signup or purchase that particular product.
