Coupons
While Dino Discounts’ core strength is automatic discounts, sometimes you need coupon codes — for email blasts, influencer partnerships, or tracked promotions where you want to measure redemption.
The Coupons tab lets you create coupons — groups of codes that share the same discount settings.
Automatic discounts vs coupon codes
Section titled “Automatic discounts vs coupon codes”| Automatic discounts | Coupon codes | |
|---|---|---|
| Customer action | None — applies automatically | Must enter or click a code |
| Best for | Everyday pricing, volume deals, bundles | Marketing pushes, partnerships, tracked promotions |
| Visibility | Customer sees discount in cart automatically | Customer needs to know the code exists |
| Tracking | Per-rule analytics | Per-code redemption tracking |
You can run both at the same time. The Coupon interaction section of the Settings tab controls how Dino discounts combine with WooCommerce coupons (see Global Settings).
Coupon concepts
Section titled “Coupon concepts”A coupon is a container for one or more codes that share the same settings:
- Coupon type — Standard, Bulk Pool, or URL Token
- Linked discount — Optionally links the coupon to an existing discount rule
- Usage tracking — Each code tracks its own redemption count and history
For example, a “Summer Newsletter” bulk-pool coupon with prefix SUMMER might generate hundreds of unique codes like SUMMER-A8K2X9Q3 — all linked to the same discount rule but tracked individually so you know which code was redeemed by whom.
What you can do
Section titled “What you can do”- Create coupons from the Coupons tab toolbar or from inside a discount rule (+ Create new coupon in the coupon trigger)
- Choose a coupon type — a single shared code, a bulk pool of unique codes, or a URL auto-apply token
- Generate codes in bulk — Create hundreds of unique codes at once for email or partner distribution
- Search codes — Use Find Coupon to look up any code by name or prefix and see its full history
- Export codes — Download CSV files per batch or across an entire coupon
- Track redemptions — The Coupons table’s Used column shows each coupon’s total redemptions at a glance; open a coupon (or use Find Coupon) for per-code usage counts, last-used dates, and order numbers
