Creating Coupons for WooCommerce with Gravity Forms
Create coupons for WooCommerce with your Gravity Forms submissions and minimal configuration.
July 17, 2022: Added support for callable functions as coupon meta parameters.
July 22, 2021: Fixed an issue where scheduled coupons used GMT instead of the Time Zone configured in WordPress.

Offering a coupon is a great way to incentivize users to fill out any form.
Want to provide a compelling incentive for visitors to sign up for your newsletter? Offer them a coupon code for a small discount at your shop.
Trying to spread the word about your online store? Offer customers a “Share this Product with a Friend” that will send that friend a discount to be used on their first purchase.
Note: We also provide a solution that integrates Gravity Forms natively with WooCommerce. Learn more about Gravity Shop Product Configurator.

How’d we do?
If you use it and like it, let us know. We’d love to hear the different ways you found this code useful!
Doesn’t work. It’s not creating woocommerce coupons. Here is my config class:
new GW_Create_Coupon( array( // ID of the form which will be used to create coupons ‘form_id’ => 1, // ID of the field whose value will be used as the coupon code ‘source_field_id’ => 2, // ID of the field whose value will be used as the title of the coupon ‘name_field_id’ => 3, // which plugin the coupon should be created for (i.e. WooCommerce = ‘wc’) ‘plugin’ => ‘wc’, // accepts: ‘gf’, ‘wc’, ‘edd’ // type of coupon code to be created, available types will differ depending on the plugin ‘type’ => ‘percent’, // amount of the coupon discount ‘amount’ => 15, ‘meta’ => array( ‘individual_use’ => ‘yes’, ‘usage_limit’ => 1,
) );
Don’t know why is not working. I don’t have any errors.
Hi Ross, can you test this? I closed the array() properly and added a closing parenthesis at the end. I also added a comma after ‘usage_limit’ => 1 to separate it from the next array item.
If that doesn’t work and you have an active Gravity Perks license you can write us through support.
new GW_Create_Coupon( array( // ID of the form which will be used to create coupons 'form_id' => 1, // ID of the field whose value will be used as the coupon code 'source_field_id' => 2, // ID of the field whose value will be used as the title of the coupon 'name_field_id' => 3, // which plugin the coupon should be created for (i.e. WooCommerce = 'wc') 'plugin' => 'wc', // accepts: 'gf', 'wc', 'edd' // type of coupon code to be created, available types will differ depending on the plugin 'type' => 'percent', // amount of the coupon discount 'amount' => 15, 'meta' => array( 'individual_use' => 'yes', 'usage_limit' => 1 ) ));Dumb question. Where does this kick out the coupon to? Would love for this to be able to embed in an email notification that’s sent.
Hi Michael,
The field that is mapped to the
source_field_idis the coupon code. You can include the merge tag for that field in your form notification to send it to the customer.Hi, can you modify this code to allow additional forms? So if I want more than one form used (form id-10 gives a 10% coupon, form id-11 gives 25%)
Is this possible? Thanks
This snippet can be initialized as many times as you want to create as many coupons as you need. These coupons can all be generated from the same form submission as well. Some generic examples of this here:
https://gravitywiz.com/documentation/apply-class-based-snippet-different-forms/
Does it work the same way for any coupon service as i have luxury car service for concerts and i want to import its coupons in the same way in open cart..
Hi Ellis,
This snippet only supports WooCommerce. We also have snippets that can create coupons with Easy Digital Downloads and Gravity Forms Coupons. We don’t currently have a snippet that can make coupons for OpenCart.
I am so sorry if this is a really dumb question, but the last step where you are saying configure the snippet, should these: [(form_id), (source_field_id), and the type and amount of the coupon] be change only in the last part of the snippet where it says ‘configuration’, or throughout the entire snippet?
Hey Annabelle, just replied to your ticket as well. Only the configuration section should be changed. 🙂
We have installed an affiliate for Woocommerce plugin that add an ‘Assign to affiliate’-field to the coupons. We would like to extend this amazing snippet, so the coupon that was created through the form is automatically linked to the affiliate email address from the form. Is that something that is possible?
Awesome life-saving snippet!
Hi Jan,
Assuming the assignment is stored in the meta for the coupon, you should be able to do this using the
metaparameter. If you are a Gravity Perks customer, drop us a line and we’ll be happy to dig into this to see if this is possible.Hi! Do you have instructions for how to do this exact same thing, except to auto-generate a Gravity Forms Coupon Code (via the Coupons Add-On) instead of a WooCommerce coupon?
Thanks!
I think I found the relevant post! Sorry to post unnecessarily.
Hi Kirsten,
No worries at all. Glad you were able to find what you want.

Hi,
I was looking for a solution for my issue and this was the closest one I found, I have some specific coupon codes from the client and they wanted to randomly send it to whoever submitted the form. is there any way around this code to make it happen? Like I add the coupon codes to woo-commerce and just use those specific ones for people who sign up instead of creating the codes?
Hi Parandis,
You can manually enter those specific codes one after the other when creating the coupon code using this tutorial. You can also import all the codes into WooCommerce. You can read more about that here

Hi team,
is it possible to schedule start & end dates for coupon based on calendar input date select on Gravity Form?
I know I can schedule expiry date (+3 days) etc based on submit date, but, i want to take the coupon start date & end date based on inputted date select from form..
Thanks! Nick
Hi Nick,
This is currently not supported. If you have a Gravity Perks License, you can get in touch via our support form so we see how we can assist you with this.
Best,
Hello, thanks for the snippet, very useful! I am trying to set up the product id based on a field value, copying the example you gave to another person above with regards to amount, but I’m getting a fatal error on form submission. This is that part of the code:
‘meta’ => array( ‘product_ids’ => function() { return rgpost( ‘input_2’ ); }, ‘start_date’ => ‘{today:+2 weeks}’, // YYYY-MM-DD )
I guess it doesn’t work because the function is inside an array, so maybe it should be formatted differently? Any help is really appreciated. Thanks!
Hi Ignacio,
The snippet currently doesn’t support setting the Product ID using a field value. You’ll have to do some customization to the snippet to get it working for you this way. I’ll log this as a feature request for the snippet. If we receive more requests for this feature, we’ll look into adding it to the snippet.
That said, if you’re an active Gravity Perk License holder, you can get in touch via our support contact form so we see how can assist you with this.

Is it possible to add a start date for WooCommer coupon like the GF coupon?
Hi Edi,
We’ve updated the snippet to allow users to set the start date for WooCommerce Coupons. The instruction on how to set it up is within the documentation above and you can get the latest version from the snippet library.
Cheers,
Is it possible for the expiry date to be dynamically set like +3 days rather than setting an exact set date like 23/03/2021
Hi Nick,
If you want to set the coupon expiration date to be +3 days after the coupon code is created, replacing the exact date with this Date(‘m/d/Y’, strtotime(‘+3 days’)) should work for you. So the parameter will look like this
'expiry_date' => Date('m/d/Y', strtotime('+3 days')),Best,
Hey guys, can’t make it work myself. Using the latest Gravity Forms, WooCommerce, and Elementor. I am not getting any console errors or log errors on the server, although it doesn’t seem to be adding coupons on form submission. Any ideas? Thanks for the great work!
Hello George, this is a bit of a strange one as I tested this in my own environment. Have you ran a theme/plugin conflict test to rule out what could possibly be causing the error? Let us know the results and we can try and help you best we can. 😃
I have a few questions because this might be just what I’m looking for:
I have a WooCommerce store and I would like to offer my customers a member discount. So I would like them to sign up using a gravity form, pay a fee (that’s recurring), and have a coupon code generated for that customer that can only be used with the email address that they signed up with during checkout for the coupon to work. Is all of this possible?
Is it then possible once they sign up to automatically log them into the website and apply the coupon to their cart?
Thank you! :)
Hi Nicole,
customer_emailmeta key, however it cannot currently use a field’s value. If you’re a Gravity Perks customer, drop us a line and we can look into adding support for that in the snippet.The above code is not creating coupons. I pasted the code into function file and change configurtion settings at bottom. For Field id, I am using email field id
Gravity form version – 2.4.20 Builder – Oxygen Builder Page – http://moikofix.hakusana.com/uutiskirjeen-tilaus/ Code – https://snippi.com/s/n7j7x6t
Hello Jaswinder, thanks for writing in. I just tested this one out and sadly was unable to recreate this issue on my side. Could you please make sure the full snippet has been installed correctly by checking out our snippet troubleshooting found here. Thanks 😀
Hi there, this is a great idea. So the coupon code that is created automatically, can be also be sent in the form notification email? source_field_id?
Hello Santiago, This is correct, the source field ID will be sent on the notification email if using the all fields merge tag.
I am trying to get this to auto-apply the coupon code to the cart. I am struggling to see how to do that or if it is possible. I submit the form and it creates the coupon code just fine, but isnt applied to the cart. is there something i am doing wrong?
Hello Peter, this article demonstrates how to create a WooCommerce coupon when a Gravity Form is submitted. Unfortunately, some custom code will be needed if you want to auto-apply a coupon that is being created after submission.
Im not sure what would go in this field Is it a field that goes in the form? If so. What type of field and how would I implement it?
Hello Gary, The basic configuration only requires that you specify which form should be used to generate coupons (form_id), which field’s value should be used as the coupon code (source_field_id), as well as the type and amount of the coupon. As for where this would go, you would Copy and paste the entire snippet into your theme’s functions.php file. If you need help installing the snippet, check out our help article here. 😀
Hello,
Instead of an amount in the code, is there a way to use a source field for the amount value?
Hi Jessica, the amount can be passed as a callable function. You could something like:
'amount' => function() { return rgpost( 'input_1' ); },This would return whatever value was submitted for field ID 1 as the amount for the coupon.
I thought I responded to you. Thankyou :)
Why my coupon is not working? I have gone through this tutorial https://www.cloudways.com/blog/create-woocommerce-coupon-code/ and implemented the same steps that mentioned in this tutorial but I am having an error when I add coupon it’s saying the coupon is not valid. Can you please tell me any alternative to do this? Here is my code
add_action( ‘woocommerce_before_cart’, ‘sh_coupons_matched’ ); function sh_coupons_matched() { global $woocommerce; $sh_coupon = ‘OnlineShop’; if ( $woocommerce->cart->has_discount( $sh_coupon ) ) return; foreach ( $woocommerce->cart->cart_contents as $key => $values ) { $autocoupon = array( 65 ); if( in_array( $values[‘product_id’], $autocoupon ) ) { $woocommerce->cart->add_discount( $cw_coupon ); wc_print_notices(); } } }
Hi Alvina, this article demonstrates how to create a WooCommerce coupon when a Gravity Form is submitted. The code from the other article does not directly relate to this snippet.
noob question : where do i input the coupons list in WordPress admin panel ? Wit WooCommerce > Coupon Im-Ex > Import Coupons ? Thx
I already have Gravity Forms for a year but I didn’t know you could create coupons for WoCommerce. Good to know. Thanks :)
Hi David, how would set this up to create two coupons with one form?
Thanks Darren
Hi Darren, you can create another instance of the class for the same form. More deets: https://gravitywiz.com/documentation/apply-class-based-snippet-different-forms/
Thanks for coming back so fast. Okay, so simply duplicate that portion and add it below, like:
Yup. :)
Thanks David, works perfectly. One more question if I may, Where do I enter the Coupons description?
Will make it easier to list only “Refer a Friend” coupons in the Admin.
I added ‘post_excerpt’
Hi David, I’m wondering if there is a way to make the date field “today’s date + 1.” In other words, I want the coupon to expire in 24 hours. Is this possible?

'expiry_date' => date( 'm/d/Y', strtotime( '+1 day' ) ),[…] There you have it.

If you have any questions, feel free to drop a comment below and I’ll do my best to help you out. You can also leave a comment for David here. […]
I am wanting to only restrict the 10% off coupon to the people who filled in the gravity form. If I am in the woocommerce cart and entered the GF coupon code, the cart changes the pricing accordingly. I want check that the email address the customer enters into woocommerce is one that was submitted to the GF that the code was generated from. I tried adding ‘customer_email’ => function_exists( ‘rgpost’ ) ? rgpost( ‘input_1’ ) : ” to the list of parameters in the ” new GW_Create_Coupon( array( ” but this didn’t seem to work when I tested it as the order went through with the discount applied when I used a different email address than the one I used in GF.
Can you share your exact code?
Hi, and thank you for the code.
I’m intending to use this snippet for a store with multiple vendors. So I suppose I need to change (‘post_author’ => 1) in line 168 with (current_user_id) or something like that ? Is it possible to let vendors through this form select the products ID by title (instead of inserting them by default in php) and pick the expiration date too by themselves ?
Thank you in advance !
Hi Amin, it is possible but it would require custom work that we’re not able to provide at this time.
Thank you for this code David.
Before we purchase the Perks bundle, can you tell me if it’s possible to display the coupon code in the confirmation message (and in the notification email) after the user submits the form/survey? I’m not sure how I would achieve this feat.
Thank you!
Regards. B
Since the coupon code is just a field on the form, you can use the field’s merge tag to output the coupon any place GF merge tags are supported (i.e. notifications and confirmations). :)
Hello,
Awesome job! Question, the issue I am running into is with my form I am using the product pricing field with the quantity. With that being said the “woocommerce” quantity doesn’t automatically update the GF quantity. This is affecting my coupons since woocommerce only see 1 item in the cart when there may be 5. My coupon in woocommerce is a product discount so it should apply to each product in the cart but it isn’t because it doesn’t recognize the GF quantity. I don’t get it because it updates the total properly. Will this code help me with this?
Hi Evie, no, this snippet just allows you to create a WooCommerce coupon based on a Gravity Forms submission. It’s more of a special incentive you can offer your users for submitting the form.
Is there a way to do a random string for the coupon code? I’m planning on hundreds of people using this form (it’s a survey) and I want them to each have their own coupon code. I use Smart Coupons to generate coupons, but I don’t see a way to tie into that.
Not sure how Smart Coupons works but if you’re already using GF, our GP Unique ID plugin integrates with this really well. Just add a Unique ID field to your form and set the field ID as the “source_field_id” parameter.
Love this code, although I can’t get it to work with multiple product ids, it creates a coupon code on submission but only adds one product to the code.
Can you help me in the right direction, this is part of the code that has the ids in it:
‘product_ids’ => ‘103’,’111′,’112′,’113′,’114′,’115′,’116′,’90’,’92’,’93’
It olny adds the first iD, the rest is ignored.
Thank you
Simple =)
Your id’s all need to be wrapped inside the same set of quotes.
‘product_ids’ => ‘103,111,112,113,114,115,116,90,92,93’
Hmmm.. now I feel slightly blond!! Good thing that I am!
That I haven’t figured that one out?!? I am using another code to add a fee to certain product ids, and that code uses the ‘ ‘, ‘ ‘.. so I just figured it would be the same for this.
Cheers for the solution, just tested and off course it works!
@Marieke, glad you were able to get this sorted. :)
@Phil, thanks for helping out!
Hi, this snippet looks great. But when I drop it into my functions.php file, I get this error: “Class ‘GW_Create_Coupon’ not found in /path/to/my/functions.php”
You can see here: http://projects.kemdev.com/
I just copied and pasted it directly from your example above. Any thoughts? Thanks!
Nevermind. I figured it out. Didn’t realize there was a whole slew of code I needed to add, not just the tiny little configuration snippet. Must get more coffee!
Awesome! Code hard. Coffee good. ;)
Hi David, first up thanks for your phenomenal and consistently helpful advice and snippets. Just wondering when the ‘Creating coupons for GF Coupons Add-on’ article might go live?
Hi Richie, should be ready in the next couple of weeks. :)
Can’t seem to find any way to get in touch with a pre-purchase question on your Perks package. I need to know if the Conditional Pricing plugin will work in conjunction with the Gravity Forms Product Add-Ons plugin and then allow Calculations using Merge Tags in order to apply a percentage based increase or decrease in total price based on a final selection in the form. Hope I’m making sense, and that this will work :) Please let me know, thanks!
Hi Neil, GP Conditional Pricing will allow you to create set prices per product depending on values entered on the field. It does not currently support percentage-based pricing but the price of a non-Calculation product field can be used in a Calculation field to create a modified price. If you’d like to send me a specific example of your pricing structure, I can confirm:

This is awesome, thanks for the snippet. This works phenomenally with woocommerce but my client has recently decided to use an off-site offering for his ebook called revizzit so now I have to import those vouchers into my wordpress db and release them one per successful purchase. Still haven’t decided the best route to go yet…CPT or private table…but this gives me inspiration!
Thanks for the kinds words and happy to inspire. ;)

OK… Can we send this to multiple email addresses? So I send it to 10 email addresses to restrict the use of the 10 coupon codes. I also want to use this on ONE product…
Sure thing, Shawn. Here is an example of the parameters for such a configuration. Keep in mind, you’ll still need to update values to meet your exact needs.
http://pastie.org/9611392
In the meta parameter, we set the customer_email to comma-delimited list of emails to users who should be able to use this coupon. We set the limit_usage_per_customer to
1so each user can only use it once. Lastly, we set the products_ids parameter to the product ID to which this coupon should apply.Since the coupon code itself will always be pulled from a Gravity Form field, you can use GF’s notifications to send the coupon (use the field’s merge tag to include it in the message) to the users who should receive it.

Hey David,
Another great snippet! I was actually just thinking about this exact thing the other day but for Easy Digital Downloads. It’d be great to see this snippet extended to EDD as well.
Excellent work as always.
Ren
Hey Ren, glad you like it. It actually already supports EDD and will detail the available parameters in an upcoming article. For now, here’s a quick example of how you can instantiate this plugin for EDD right now:
http://pastie.org/9608616#6
Ah, I see that. I overlooked that info earlier. Thanks for snippet on instantiating for EDD. I look forward to the EDD specific post.
Thanks for the code. Just one question. Can we restrict the coupon use to the user who was registering with the form? If so what is the correct way to set the coupon recipient ID to be the same user ID as the person whose user account is being created?
Thanks
Hi Farrel, you can restrict the coupon to a static email by setting the “customer_email” parameter to that static email. In your case, since you want to use the email that the user submitted with the form, you could try setting the “customer_email” parameter like so:
'customer_email' => function_exists( 'rgpost' ) ? rgpost( 'input_1' ) : ''Replace the “1” in “input_1” with the ID of your email field. This will check the submitted content for that email and populate it as the value of the parameter.
I tried adding that parmaeter but I got this error: syntax error, unexpected ”customer_email” (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING), expecting ‘)’
The error was caused by a missing comma :) However, the restrict email to the email submitted in form is not applying to the coupon that is created and the ‘individual_use’ => ‘no’, is still generating a coupon that is not stackable.
Hey Sam, drop us a line via the support form and we’ll dig in. :)
Wanted to see if you got this sorted for Sam? I’d like to do the same thing: generate a coupon that’s locked to the submitter’s email. I assume the easiest is just to add the submitted email to the “Email restrictions” field of the coupon. But I’m not sure how to do that?
