Step by step

Go to Plugins → Add New

In your WordPress admin, navigate to Plugins → Add New in the left sidebar.

Search for "Dino Discounts"

Type "Dino Discounts" in the search box. The plugin will appear in the results. Click Install Now, then Activate.

Verify the plugin is active

Go to Plugins in your admin sidebar. You should see Dino Discounts listed and active.

Open Dino Discounts and take the welcome tour

Navigate to WooCommerce → Dino Discounts in your admin sidebar. The first time you land on the Discounts tab, Dino opens a guided welcome tour that walks you through each top-level tab — Discounts, Coupons, Countries & Zones, Analytics, History, and Settings — so you know where everything lives.

You can press Escape or click Exit tour at any time. Once you've finished (or dismissed) the tour, you'll see the Discounts tab with an empty rules list and a Create your first discount button.

Installing manually

If you have a .zip file instead:

3. Click Activate

Caching plugin? One important step

If you use a full-page caching plugin (WP Rocket, WP Super Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, SiteGround Optimizer, etc.), exclude your cart and checkout pages from full-page caching.

Add /cart/ and /checkout/ to your caching plugin's exclusion list. Without this, discounts may appear not to apply correctly.

Dino will warn you

The plugin automatically detects common caching plugins and shows an admin notice if cart/checkout pages aren't excluded. Follow the notice instructions to fix it.
