FAQ
ChangelogIn this article, let’s configure a ‘Signup coupon worth 20%’ using a Smart coupon for WooCommerce plugin. Coupons can definitely pave the way to improve customer retention and conversion. When it comes to a signup coupon, there is always a possibility to convert a casual visitor into a buyer.
In order to set up a signup coupon you will have to create a master coupon with required properties and then associate it to behave as a signup coupon.
Prerequisite
- From WordPress dashboard, go to Smart Coupons > Add coupon
- Key in an appropriate coupon code and description
Let us see how a signup coupon providing a 20% discount for a newly registered customer can be configured:
From the General tab, select the discount type as a percentage discount with the discount amount as 20.
Publish the coupon.
Setting up Signup coupon
Head on to Smart Coupons > Action Coupons > Signup coupons
- Enable signup coupon: Enable the option to create and assign coupons to customers automatically upon signup.
- Associate a master coupon: The signup coupon will be created based on the underlying master coupon. The coupon configuration (discount percentage and other related rules) will be created based on the selected master coupon.
In this case, select the coupon code signup20 (as per configured) from the drop-down to associate it as the master coupon. It is this coupon that will be sent to the customers on sign up. - Use the master coupon code as-is: When enabled the coupon code will be the same as the master coupon code. Upon successful signup, the email ids of the corresponding users will be added to ‘Allowed emails’ under the Usage Restriction section of the master coupon. When unchecked a new coupon code will be generated for every new signup. These coupons will follow the same configuration as the master coupon, the difference being a unique coupon code. The coupon code can be formatted as per the prefix/suffix/length options. If not specified it will take the format as per the General Settings.
On signing up successfully, the customer will be notified with an email as shown below:
The customer can use the coupon code for their first purchase while checkout to redeem the discount obtained during signup.

Hi Fabio,
You can edit the email template and edit the contents from Woocommerce > Settings > Email settings page. Open the email that you want to edit and click copy file to theme. Then you can view the HTML and edit it.

hi, does the plugin complement well with registration form plugins? our idea is to use the registrationmagic.com plugin to create a WooCommerce registration form on a separate page.
I await your response, thank you.

Hi Jose,
We haven’t yet tested our plugin with mentioned one. Our plugin works based on normal woocommerce coupons and extends its functionalities.

I need to create bulk coupons tied to an item in my WooCommerce store. My affiliate will sell those coupons in his website. After a buyer gets the coupon code, she comes to my website to register with the code. Is it possible to create a separate signup form for this purpose?

Hi Wes,
It is capable of creating signup coupons for users who regsiters via the regular WordPress sign up page. This plugin does not provide any feature to create signup forms on its own. Sorry to have let you down.

Is there any way to generate a unique code per user who signs up for our newsletter with unlimited usage each?
Mark

Hi Alex,
I am afraid we don’t have any option to send coupons based on newsletter subscription.

If someone subscribes to the newsletter plugin, like MailPoet. Is coupon will send to that subscriber or not? Please let me know
Mark

Hi Adnan,
The user must register in the site to receive a signup coupon. Newsletter subscription won’t trigger the signup coupon generation.

Is it possible for this coupon to expire after x amount of days after signup? So the user receives a coupon and the coupon expire e.g. within 5 days of registration, that way customer is forced to use it?
Mark
October 14, 2020
Yes. You can set expiry in number of days in the latest version of the plugin.
