How to Add Coupon Codes on a WordPress Website?

No one wants to miss the chance to save some extra bucks. Though the digital coupon code system coins from the very traditional paper coupon, it’s still so popular among consumers to use a coupon code while shopping. 

A coupon discount makes a consumer feel psychologically he is winning. Over 90% of American consumers prefer to use coupons. So, adding a coupon code to your payment form ultimately increases the chance of conversions. 

Maybe you are wondering how to add coupon codes on your WordPress website. It’s so simple like a breeze with Paymattic. Today, we will show you step-by-step how to add coupon discount codes for the WordPress website.

What is a coupon code & how it works

A coupon code is a simple code that usually consists of letters and numbers. Shoppers put the code in the checkout form to avail of a discount while they make a purchase. We may call it by many names – promo code, discount code or voucher code.

For example, Paymattic currently uses the PAYMAGIC50 coupon code to provide a 50% discount on its annual individual & agency licenses.

If you are a website owner, first you need to set a coupon code on your payment form. Promote the code through various marketing channels of your website to entice buyers. Visitors will put the code on the checkout form and a predefined discount will be applied to the final price. You can also share the coupon code with some special buyers through email in case you want to offer discounts for a limited audience.
