Promo code

Hi @marcusterribilis,

I understand your frustration about needing quantity-based discounts for specific categories. The good news is that WooCommerce actually does support this functionality, but it requires the right extension to unlock these advanced coupon features.

For creating a discount code that gives 15% off when purchasing 6 products from a specific category, you’ll need the Smart Coupons extension. This powerful extension extends WooCommerce’s core coupon functionality to include quantity-based restrictions.

Here’s how you can set this up with Smart Coupons:

• Go to Marketing → Coupons in your WP Admin
• Create a new coupon with 15% percentage discount
• In the Usage Restrictions tab, select your specific product category
• Under Smart Coupons Restrictions, select “Validate quantity of” and choose either:
  • “Product” (for 6 items from that specific category)
  • Set minimum quantity to 6

This will create exactly what you’re looking for: a coupon that only applies when customers have 6 or more products from your specified category in their cart.

The Smart Coupons extension supports complex quantity-based discount scenarios like “Buy 5 items and get 10% off” or “Apply 15% off coupon only when there are five T-shirts in the cart.”

I hope that helps. Let us know if you need anything else.
