    Hi Scott,
    Thank you for a great and easy plugin that I have been using for a long time now. A dream for me would be if the generated coupon was immediately applied to the WooCommerce site after registrations, as I fear I lose customers who sign up to my newsletter upon checkout and then have to switch to their e-mail client and await the coupon, which they then have to copy and paste into the site. If the generated code would be automatically applied, that would be so much faster and easier for the customer.

    Any way that could be a feature you could fix?

    Thanks in advance,
    Johannes from Sweden

    Hi Johannes,
    Thank you for the feedback and feature suggestion. Unfortunately, the way this plugin works is that it relies on the webhook that is sent from Mailchimp or ActiveCampaign to create the coupon. This is done in a separate session from your user’s session so when the coupon code is created it won’t know which customer’s cart to add it to.

    The only way this feature would work is if the coupon code was added immediately after the customer submits their email in the subscribe form. There are two problems with this.

    First, the plugin doesn’t know how users are added to your list (manually by an administrator in your Mailchimp back end, via a subscribe form, via the API, or some other way). The plugin would need to know where the email address is being added from and have access to the form’s submission.

    Second, this wouldn’t allow you to verify that they are using a legitimate email address (a user could enter [email protected] and they would still get the coupon code added to their cart). The way the plugin is set up, it requires a user to enter a legitimate email address in order to get the discount, which is delivered to their email address.

    For those reasons, I don’t think this is a feature I’ll be able to add to the plugin. If something changes where this becomes possible, I’d be happy to add the feature.

    What if you add confirmation on email

    @manueldinisjunior I’m not entirely sure what you mean by that. However, it would be helpful if you were to open your own topic to describe what you are trying to do.
