How To Categorize WooCommerce Coupons With A Free Plugin? 

Want to add coupon categories to organize WooCommerce coupon codes? Let’s explore how to categorize WooCommerce coupons and assign individual coupons to specific categories.

Instead of creating new coupon codes each year for promotional campaigns, wouldn’t it be simpler to reuse existing ones by just updating them? Adding coupon categories can make this possible by keeping your discount codes organized.

And to categorize coupons in WooCommerce, you’ll need a third-party plugin: Smart Coupons for WooCommerce.

The WebToffee WooCommerce coupon plugin allows you to create various types of coupons, coupon banners, store credits, and more. In addition to creating coupons, this plugin also helps you manage them within your store.

Let’s walk through how to add WooCommerce coupon categories using the Smart Coupons plugin.

Step 1: Install and Activate the Smart Coupon Plugin

1. On your WordPress admin console, go to Plugins > Add New.
2. Search for the plugin ‘WebToffee Smart Coupons for WooCommerce Coupons’ in the search bar.
3. Click on Install Now and then on Activate Plugin.

Once activated, the plugin will be added to your store, and you’ll be ready to start creating coupon categories.

Step 2: Create A Coupon Category in WooCommerce

1. Go to Smart Coupons > Coupon category in the WordPress navigation bar.
2. Add a category name, for example, “Halloween discounts.” 
3. Add a slug and description if required.
4. Assign a parent category, if any. 
5. Now click on Add new category. This will add a new category called “Halloween discounts” to your WordPress console. Once this is done, you can assign coupons to this category next. 

Step 3: Assign WooCommerce Coupon To A Coupon Category

1. Go to Smart Coupons > All Coupons and click on the coupon to which you want to assign a category. 
2. Now, locate the Categories tab and choose the category to which the coupon will be added. 
3. Click on Update to activate the changes. 

You can also assign the coupon category when creating a new coupon. 

That’s it! Creating and assigning coupon categories is as easy as it sounds. Next, let’s look at how to filter WooCommerce coupons by category.

Step 4: Filter Coupons by WooCommerce Coupon Category

• Go to Smart Coupons > All coupons.
• In the Select category dropdown, choose the category you want, for example, “Halloween Discount.”
• Click Apply to update the list. You’ll only see coupons under that specific category.
• If you want to further filter your WooCommerce coupons by discount type, select a type from the Show all types dropdown.
