One Coupon, Two Discount Types

    We use Coupon Codes to track who recommended a customer, and to pay that individual commission. Up till now, we’ve only offered simple products, and only utilized coupons marked as “percentage discount.”

    We’re now trying to launch subscriptions, and have realized “percentage discount” coupons will only be charged on the 1st payment, and none of the recurring payments. We found that we can edit the coupon to “recurring product % discount” allowing the coupon to charge on recurring orders, but then to no longer be valid on simple product purchases.

    We realize we could make two coupon codes for every customer, (one for simple purchases & one for subscriptions) but that seems like a messy and non-sustainable solution.

    Is there a way to make a coupon code be both “percentage discount” and “recurring product % discount”?

  • Hi @knnydrk

    Thanks for reaching out!

    I understand that you would like to create one coupon having two different types such as Percentage Discount and Recurring Product Percentage Discount, correct?

    By default one coupon can only have one coupon type when using the built-in Coupon Management. It is not possible to create a single coupon in WooCommerce that can be used for both a simple percentage discount and a recurring product percentage discount.

    The reason for this is that the two types of discounts are applied differently at the checkout, so they require different coupon codes in order to work correctly. A simple percentage discount is applied to the total order amount, while a recurring product percentage discount is applied only to specific products that are part of a recurring payment plan, in your case a subscription product.

    After further research, I could not find a plugin that could achieve this too. You could check the links below if this is possible with some customization.

    For questions related to development and custom coding, your best bet is to ask on any of these channels for support. We’re lucky to have a great community of open-source developers for WooCommerce, and many of our developers hang out there, too.

    Hope this helps!

    Is there a solution for this issue? it’s cumbersome to ask folks to use one code for a payment plan and another code if they pay in full.

    Appreciate any idea anyone may have

    I’d like to understand your use case further. Could you go ahead with opening a new topic, as this one is closed and technically solved, elaborating further on your use case, and what you have tried so far, please?
