Hello,
Does this plugin work with Woocommerce Store Credits extension? I am trying to build a shop for groups of employees, where each group has it’s own budget. When a group member places an order and uses the store credit, the available balance is reduced for all group members. Thanks.

  Hi Rodrigo,
  Sorry, I don’t know exactly what is your scenario.
  With this plugin, you can limit the user of the coupon to one or more groups. So you can have ex. a ‘VIP10’ coupon that only the users in the VIP group can use.

Hi, I got this plugin and really like it. I just have one question, how can I exclude groups from getting this discount? I have groups with special pricing and I don’t want them to be able to get the extra discount on items. How can I restrict this to customers and guest?

    This is my structure:
    
    Group A gets 50% off
    Group B gets 30% off
    
    I want to create a discount code that only people not in those 2 groups can use, including unregistered (guest) customers. How can i do that? thanks you

  You seem to be using Smart Coupons ? I’ve used Customer/Order/Coupon CSV Import Suite to do the test. If Smart Coupons doesn’t import the meta data correctly, then that would be the reason why you don’t see the access restrictions in place. I’d rather use the Import Suite then.

I just purchased your plugin.

How can you import a cvs with coupons with a Role restriction using this Group Coupons extension?

I already tried “meta:_groupon_roles” as a new column in CSV file, with value: “Customer”. Looks like the Import Suite recognises the custom field, but Role restriction is not set for the imported coupon.

Hi Kento,

I saw from a previous post that you were planning on adding the function to “exclude” groups, I have the same situation where i want coupons to be used by “guest users” but not users that belong to a discounted prices group (i did this with the groups plug and group pricing plug). is there any easy way to do this? basically i would like to exclude this special group from all coupons except when they get a special one, for that i can use this plug.

    Any chance you are moving forward with the ability to exclude groups from redeeming coupons? (since customers who sign-up for a discount membership are in two groups, baseline and discount, group, the exclusion would need to make sure that if a customer was enrolled in an “excluded” group he wouldn’t be able to use the coupon even if he were also enrolled a non-excluded group.

Hi Kento,

I’ve purchased the plugin and I’m trying to use it to “restrict” certain groups and / or roles from using a coupon code. Essentially, I want the plugin to do the exact opposite of it’s intended use. The plugin limits the coupon to certain groups / customers and I want to restrict it from certain groups customers. Is there some script that could modify the plugin to accomplish that?

Thank you

  Hi Carter, the easiest would be to create a group that restricts to the subset of users that should have access. The plugin isn’t intended to do the opposite, it’s intended to limit to users that belong to a certain group. So to achieve the opposite effect, it’s sufficient to include those users who should have access in the appropriate group.

Hi I am wanting to find a woocommerce extension that will let me select only guests and customers user roles to be allowed to use certain coupons and also have coupons that will only work for my wholesale user roles as well. I am not using the anything to do with memberships or groups, and I don’t have any other groups or membership plugins installed on my site, but I basically only need the basic coupon feature that is in woocommerce already but I just need to make it so I can have user role permissions with the coupons I am making. Does your plugin do that or do I have to use some sort of memberships or groups to make this work? P.S. You have a LOT of very cool plugins! Nice Work!

  Hi Thomas,
  
  Thank you very much for your kind comment 🙂
  
  With the Group Coupons extension for WooCommerce, you can limit coupons to certain roles, i.e. if you don’t need groups, you can also use the extension and just work with roles. You can find details on the features related to roles on the documentation page here Group Coupons.

      Thanks for pointing out the inconsistency on the documentation page. This has been corrected – you do not need any additional plugins to restrict coupons by role as that is supported by the Group Coupons extension without any further requirements.

Kento, I found a workaround for the time being: create a special login only category for VIPs and just put our VIP products in this category (duplicating everything), then exclude coupons from this category. For me, this will probably work, but total group exclusion from particular coupons would be better since my workaround is rather limited in that everything has to be doubled.

Can the plugin prevent coupons from working for certain groups? We have the subscriptions plugin and all customers and buyers become “registered.” We then sell a $100 membership and these customers automatically become VIP group members and get bottom level pricing whe logged-in. I want to offer coupons to only registered groups, but not VIPs. Unfortunately, the VIPs are both registered and VIP group members. Can the plugin work to prevent coupon redemption by those in the VIP group(who are also registered members) while working for “registered” only group members?

If you have 2000 people in VIP, it is not practical to manage their group membership by hand. If your coupon plugin does not manage this, then can you recommend anything? Maybe my VIP members should become a user role rather than group members?

  Hi Justin,
  
  That would actually be a great addition to the plugin, I mean the ability to exclude certain groups from a coupon. That would cover your case exactly and I figure that you’re not the only one who would welcome that.
  
  I’m adding this to be scheduled for implementation on top of the list for the plugin.
  
  If you have a developer at hand or the knowledge, meanwhile you could use the Groups API and implement a hook on the coupon validity to restrict it. Is that a possibility for you while this is being added?

I have a wholesale pricing plugin for my website. I set up a retail group and a wholesale group. When I log onto my site as a wholesaler, the message for discounts to retail customers is showing, even though the discount structure isn’t applicable. I would prefer that the message doesn’t show up for wholesale clients.

Thanks for your quick response Kento.

Hi,

i use groups coupons to give a 20% discount to members of a group on my site. Ive just spotted that multiple orders of a product give an increasingly large discount which rather than being fctored by the number of item ordered is factored by the number ordered squared (so 1 item gives the correct discount, 2 gives the discount 4 times and 4 items ordered gives the discount 16 times)
everything else seems to work.
can you help please.

If not, how hard would it be to implement the same feature in this plugin?

  I would probably use the description option on those coupons to display along with the price to have it more customizable. The automated display would also work. Adding that feature to the WooCommerce Group Coupons plugin is another option, although then we would have two places where users of both plugins can enable it. Worth considering at least.

This is just what I am looking for, especially with the automatic application. What I want to know is does the discount show on the product prices when a member of said group is logged in, or does i only show up in the cart? The former could help drive sales..

  Hi Lasse,
  
  It provides shortcodes to display the coupons, see the documentation for details on how these are used. There is also WooCommerce Coupon Shortcodes which you can use to display information conditionally based on coupons, for example, to display coupon information in the cart based on which coupons are valid. This plugin doesn’t add the information on the product price display directly, but WooCommerce Volume Discount Coupons provides options for that.
