Users can manually enter a coupon code, refresh the Cart and see their discount apply… or you can do that automatically (or “programmatically” as we say in the dark web) when a user adds a product to the WooCommerce Cart 🙂
All you’ve got to do is creating a coupon, and then a PHP function will do the whole work. Automation is the best thing in the world!
WooCommerce: how to add a coupon programmatically if a product is added to cart
PHP Snippet 1: Apply a Coupon Programmatically if a Product is in the Cart
Notes:
Create a coupon code that you want to apply once a certain product is added to cart (go to WooCommerce / Coupons / Add New and decide your coupon code. For example “freeweek”, which is the coupon code we will use later in the PHP snippet)
Identify your product ID (go to WordPress / Products and hover onto the product you want to use the coupon with. Whatever ID shows in the URL bar, take a note. In our example, we will target product ID = “745”)
