Set Up Maximum Discount Limit For WooCommerce Percentage Discount Coupons

Last updated on September 11, 2024

In e-commerce, percentage discount coupons are among the most commonly used coupon types. In some cases, store owners may prefer to offer a percentage discount yet set a limit on the discount value. By default, WooCommerce does not provide an option to set a maximum limit for percentage discounts. However, with the Smart Coupons for WooCommerce plugin by WebToffee, you can easily implement this feature for your coupons by following the provided steps:

  • Navigate to the Add/Edit coupon page.
  • Move on to the Coupon data meta-box.
  • Select Discount type as a percentage from the General tab and configure the coupon.
  • Move on to the Usage limit tab under the Coupon data meta-box.
  • Enter the limit under the Maximum discount value field.
  • Save the coupon.

Use case

Establishing a coupon offering a fixed 20% discount, with a maximum discount of $5.

Setting up maximum discount value

To set up the coupon:

  • From the WordPress dashboard, navigate to Smart Coupons > Add Coupons.
  • Key in a Coupon code and Description.
  • Move to the Coupon data meta box.
  • From the General tab, select the Discount type as a Percentage discount.
  • Set the Coupon amount as 20. Now, the coupon can be used to get a flat 20% discount on any purchase from the store.

  • The coupon is now valid for a 20% discount on store purchases, with a capped maximum discount of $5.
  • The product in the example is priced at $41.85. After applying the 20% discount coupon, the original discount amount should be $8.37. However, because the discount limit is $5, the buyer will only receive a $5 discount.
