Schedule a Coupon in WooCommerce

Scheduling coupons is a strategic approach businesses use to manage promotions, optimize inventory, and drive sales effectively. It allows companies to plan coupon campaigns around specific events, seasons, and customer segments, helping them maintain customer loyalty, manage budgets, and gain a competitive advantage. This article explains how to schedule your WooCommerce coupons using the Smart Coupons for WooCommerce plugin by WebToffee.

Scheduling a coupon to be active on all Saturdays and Sundays for January.

To create a scheduled coupon,

• From the WordPress dashboard, navigate to Smart Coupons > Add Coupon.
• Key in the Coupon code and Description.
• Navigate to the General tab in the Coupon data meta-box.
• Specify the coupon type and basic info.
• Scroll down to the Schedule section at the bottom of the General tab.

Here, you can choose the Coupon start date and expiry date and specify the days of the week when the coupon should be active.

• For the current use case, to make the coupon active for the month of January, let’s set the Coupon start date to 2024/01/01 and the Coupon expiry date to 2024/01/31.
• Alternatively, if you wish to set the expiry in days, instead of selecting a date, enable the option Enter coupon expiry in days and specify the number of days the coupon should be active from the Coupon start date.
• If you want the coupon to be only active on Saturdays and Sundays of that month, select the options Sun and Sat under the Coupon active on section.

• Now, set up other coupons’ data, such as usage restrictions and limits.
• Finally, click on Publish to activate the coupon.

You now possess a coupon scheduled to become active on January 1, 2024, and it will remain valid on all Saturdays and Sundays until January 31, 2024.
