Individual Use Only: This Plugin Needs This Field.

  • Hi YITHEMES,
    Awesome plugins and themes! This is sort of a feature request and bug report.

    There needs to be an included option to make the generated coupons have or not-have the field for “individual use only”, so a site owner can decide whether the share-for-discounts should be applicable to 1 discount per order or not.

    Without that functionality, any customer to a site using your plugin (in its current state) can receive a discount on all products in their cart, just by running the share button each time they add a new product to their cart.

    So instead of being a 10% off a product, it’s a 10% off cart. All the customer has to do is continue using the share button for each product in their cart.

    This is a bug and flaw in this plugin (and the pro version too).

    Is there a script that can limit generated coupons to 1 per order?

    Thanks!

    RELATED BUG NUMBER 2:
    A user can Share and receive discount as GUEST, then log in to their user account and Share to receive ANOTHER discount on the same product. So for a 10% for sharing a user can receive 20% off if they get the share-coupon as a Guest first then get same share-coupon by doing the process as a logged in user.

    So essentially, with the free version of this plugin, any customer can receive 20% off their ENTIRE CART just by using the share discount. For the PAID version if you go over 10% for your coupon, do so knowing you ARE offering DOUBLE whatever you enter to your customers, and it can be used over and over and over until the whole CART is double couponed.

    This plugin is trash until this is fixed, 2 terrible bugs that can be fixed just by adding the woocommerce coupon field for “individual use only”.

    4 weeks now and still nothing from developers on this? Wow.

    Hi @thanewest, sorry for the delay, but we analyzed well the plugin before arriving at conclusions.

    As for your first report, what you call “BUG” is a willed behavior: The purpose of this plugin is to encourage customers to share products on social in return for a “reward”. In the premium version you can set a discount on the total cart that, in this case, will be unique and users can not add more coupons for the same day.

    As for your second record, we have intensively tested the plugin so check if what you reported corresponds to the reality, but the problem that you say does not occur. You have the way to send a screencast?

    Regards.

    LOL @ Ben. That customer managed to rack up 15 share coupons to get the product for free, that’s some dedication right there… Of course, if we had an “individual use only” button this type of issue could be avoided.

    HI @thanewest

    However, there does not have any place to activate the “individual use only” in this plugin.

    How to do that?

    Please advice.

    Hey Ben,
    That’s why I gave this plugin a 1-star review and started this thread, because that is a HUGE problem with this plugin and the developers refuse to take action. I try to avoid YITH plugins whenever possible just for this sort of problem and lack of caring/support. And just FYI, don’t waste any time on similar plugins on codecanyon, they all suck and are buggy. I’m really just hoping Woocommerce comes out with their own plugin for this, you can always count on genuine Woocommerce extensions to work ??

    If you insist on continuing with THIS plugin, the best advice I can offer you is to to into the plugin settings page and under the Sharing tab edit the “box title before sharing” to say something along the lines of “one sharing coupon per order, use of more than one coupon will result in order cancellation”.

    It’s not a pretty solution, but YITH hasn’t given users of this plugin any other recourse. At least now you know not to waste any more money on YITH products ??
