How To Add Discounts Based On Email Domains In WooCommerce? (No Plugin Required)

This article will look into how to create WooCommerce discount codes for specific email domains without using external plugins.

Discounts are an effective way to build rapport with customers and offering them in your WooCommerce store encourages loyalty and repeat purchases. Similarly, providing discount codes or gift cards to employees can boost morale.

However, creating individual, employee-specific coupon codes can be a hassle. A simple solution is to create WooCommerce discount coupons that apply to all employees. Let’s look into it after reviewing the key points.

Discount coupons can be easily generated in WooCommerce without the need for any additional plugins. To do this, 

1. Log on to your WordPress admin account and navigate to Marketing > Coupons.
2. Click on Add coupon to start configuring a new WooCommerce coupon that is available only for a specific email domain.
3. Provide a coupon name or automatically generate one with the Generate coupon code button. You may also add a description of the coupon if you like. 
4. In the Coupon data widget, go to the General tab and configure the coupon settings. It includes the discount type, setting the coupon amount, expiry, etc. 
5. Next, go to the Usage restrictions tab and scroll down to the Allowed emails option. 
6. To enable coupons for users logging in with a corporate email address, enter an asterisk symbol followed by the email domain in the Allowed emails field. For example, to enable the coupons to be used by everyone in the ACME organization, enter ‘*@acme.com’. This setting ensures that only users with email addresses ending in @acme.com can use the coupon. 

7. Configure the remaining coupon-based restrictions such as minimum and maximum spending, applicable products or categories, and coupon limitations. 
8. In the Usage limits tab, set coupon usage restrictions, such as limits per coupon and per user. 
9. Click on Publish to save and create the coupon. 

This will add the WooCommerce discount coupon based on custom email domains to your store.
