Same coupon code for both a full payment and a payment plan (subscription)

    Hi,

    We have 2 payment options on our site, pay in full or a payment plan.

    The payment plan is implemented using woocommerce subscription plugin, a subscription limited to 5 months .

    Our challenge is with offering discount coupons that apply to both payment options.

    Whenever we run a campaign with a price incentive – say 10% discount, we need to provide 2 different coupon codes, one for those paying in full and one for the payment plan.

    It gets more complicated when we recruit affiliates and offer them an individual coupon code to offer their audience, we have hundreds of affiliates and we are dealing with a lot of noise from them about how cumbersome the 2 code situation is.

    I get why this is challenging from a technical standpoint, and how the payment system is constructed. Yet tech issues are not a good enough reason to force the whole operation to function like it’s early 2000’s with confusing messaging:

    “Use code AAA for a 10% off of Product ABC when you pay in full

    Use code BBB for a 10% off of Product ABC when you pay with a payment plan”

    Appreciate any insight how other people are dealing with this use case.

    Hi @benbrooklyn

    The Smart Coupons plugin might be a suitable solution for your situation. This plugin allows you to create coupons that are specific to payment methods. So, you can create a single coupon code, for example, “DISCOUNT10”, which can be applied to both full payment and payment plan options.

    When a customer enters this coupon code, the plugin will automatically detect the payment method selected by the customer and apply the discount accordingly. This way, you won’t need to create multiple coupon codes for different payment methods.

    In addition, it allows you to generate bulk coupons and send them to your affiliates. This could help to reduce the noise and confusion around the distribution of different coupon codes to different affiliates.

    I hope this information is helpful. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

    Thanks!
