One of the major highlights of the Smart Coupons for WooCommerce(free) plugin is its ability to provide discounts on the basis of various checkout options. The plugin extends the native WooCommerce Coupons functionality, which provides store owners and customers with a wide range of options.

- Shipping Method based coupon discount

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.
