Coupon Codes
Learn how to create and manage coupon codes in RepairPlugin for targeted promotions, loyalty rewards, and marketing campaign tracking.
What can you do with this?
- Run promotions -- create seasonal or event-based discount codes with expiration dates.
- Reward loyal customers -- give business clients a fixed discount they can reuse.
- Track marketing campaigns -- assign a unique code to each campaign (e.g., a code printed on a flyer) and see how often it's redeemed.
- Target specific repairs -- link coupons to certain categories, brands, models, or repair types so the discount only applies when conditions are met.
- Control usage -- set usage limits, minimum purchase amounts, and expiration dates to stay in control of your margins.
Where to find it
- In your WordPress admin, go to RepairPlugin in the left sidebar.
- Click Settings.
- In the settings sidebar, click Coupons.
How to set it up
Create a New Coupon
-
On the Coupons page, click the New Coupon button in the top-right corner.
-
A modal window appears with the following fields:
- Own Reference -- your internal name for the coupon (e.g., "Summer Sale 2025").
- Code -- the code customers will enter at checkout (e.g., "SUMMER25").
- Amount -- the discount value.
- Type -- select "Fixed" for a flat amount or "Percent" for a percentage discount.
-
Configure optional settings (switches described below).
-
Click Add Coupon.
Edit an Existing Coupon
- On the Coupons page, find the coupon in the list.
- Click the Edit button or click the coupon name to expand its details.
- Modify any fields as needed.
- Click the Update button at the bottom to save all changes.
Enable or Disable a Coupon
Each coupon has an on/off switch on the left side of its row. Switch it on to activate or off to deactivate the coupon. Click Update to save the change.
Delete a Coupon
Click the trash icon on the right side of the coupon row. Confirm the deletion when prompted. This action is permanent.
Manage Coupon Targeting (Linking)
Coupons can be restricted to apply only to specific items. By default, a coupon with no links works for all repairs.
-
Click the Manage button next to a coupon.
-
A linking modal opens with two panels:
- Left panel: Browse and search items to link. Use the "Apply Based On" dropdown to filter by Category, Brand, Model, Default Repair, or Default Attributes. Use the search field to find specific items.
- Right panel: Shows currently linked items.
-
Select items in the left panel and click Add to link them.
-
To remove a link, click the X icon next to an item in the right panel, or use the bulk selection tools (Select All, Unselect All, Delete Selected).
-
When linking multiple groups (e.g., both a Category and a Brand), choose a matching relation:
- Match any item from any group (OR) -- the coupon applies if the customer's repair matches any linked item in any group.
- Match at least one item from each group (AND) -- the coupon applies only if the customer's repair matches at least one item from every linked group.

Frequently asked questions
Can a customer use more than one coupon per order?
No. Only one coupon code can be applied per order. If you also have Combo Discount enabled, both discounts can apply together since they work independently.
What happens when I delete a coupon?
The coupon is permanently removed. Past orders that used the coupon keep their discount, but the code can't be used for new orders. If you just want to pause a coupon, switch it off instead of deleting it.
Can I restrict a coupon to specific categories, brands, or models?
Yes. Each coupon has a Linking feature that lets you target it to specific device categories, brands, models, or repairs. When linking is configured, the coupon only applies to orders that match the linked items. You can set the linking relation to require all conditions to match (AND) or any condition to match (OR).
