Auto Coupon for specific category or product

    Hello

    Using your plugin, I managed to setup 3 coupons and auto add them when the conditions are met. However, I want these coupons to be applied only if a certain amount of a certain category are in the cart.

    I want a certain discount when 9 “badge” products are in the cart. I ad 8 badges and 1 more random product from elsewhere. It applies the coupon.

    Now, I have another similar discount based on a specific product, and that one is working ok, I tried adding several other products and WP does not count other random products towards the discount. This is only happening with the category-based discount.

    I wonder if there is a way to fix this?
    Cheers

    Hi, thanks for your inquiry. The category and product restrictions on coupons are features of WooCommerce. The Auto Coupons plugin only acts as an automatic trigger that can apply a coupon. The Auto Coupons plugin must check with WooCommerce before it can auto-apply a coupon, and can be stopped from applying a coupon if WooCommerce requirements aren’t met.

    If you’re still seeing issues, I recommend disabling any caching plugins that might be active, and adding ?troubleshoot to the cart URL when logged in as an admin. This should provide a detailed report of each coupon and the reason it can or cannot be applied.

    Hope this helps. Please respond back if you continue to experience issues.

    Thanks for the Plugin @rermis

    I think the issue is with the woocommerce system. It’s not a bad system, just not what @msdesignfoto is expecting to happen, or explicit enough to run a discount campaign.

    How it works now:
    If cart contain product “Badge” (any amount) & Cart contain 9 items (any products) -> Apply coupon

    How a we’d like it to work
    If cart contains 9 ‘Badge’ products (specific quantity and product) -> Apply coupon

    Edit the workaround is to make a unique coupon per product, but per category would be nice.

    Actually did kind of find a solution, but it needs a little dev work.

    So instead of adding the category we want, we manually add all the products to a single coupon.

    This works exactly as expected and described above except for a small bug.

    When the “Min Notification” is enabled it says “Add 1 more Prodcut Name to qualify for a discount.”

    But this doesn’t make sense when you want it for an entire category. If you could add your own custom text it would be great: “Add 1 more “whatever category you might want” to qualify for a discount.”

    Hello everyone
    Thank you for your replies. I had to use a conditional discount-plugin for this to happen. Instead of using the coupon system, the store automatically makes the discount. And another plugin displays the original price / discounted price.

    Thank you, glad this is resolved for one participant. Paul, In a future release I will definitely add the ability for the plugin to specify category names when displaying notifications, as this seems to have been overlooked.

    Version 2.0.7 released today will display all product or category names (if specified) for a particular coupon discount when min/max notification is check marked.
