Thank you, that is very helpful. I will try to include this fix or similar in the next release, likely this week. I will let you know when it is ready so you can verify it resolves the issue.
Here is an example of how the delivery estimate is displayed on a product. It is located after the short description and before the options, quantity, and add to cart button.
Yes, the estimate is displayed in the cart and checkout pages next to each shipping method. It will display with cart/checkout shortcodes as well as cart/checkout blocks. If the cart, checkout, or display of shipping methods are customized by other plugins or the theme, the estimate may fail to display.
The shortcode outputs an estimate based on the selected shipping method for the order, and can be used in the customer account pages. It is not suitable for cart or checkout pages, which must use the native WooCommerce templates or blocks. The cart or checkout pages display available shipping methods during the shopping session, and the plugin attaches the estimates to each method post-render.
Thank you, that is helpful detail. Knowing this, I’ve released v3.0.44 today with potential efficiency improvements.
Expired coupons are excluded earlier in the root query, and coupons with email restrictions are no longer evaluated unless specific features are turned on, which should reduce load on large coupon datasets.
If performance issues continue, I recommend ensuring old coupons have an expiration date set or are moved out of published status.
Please update to 3.0.44 when you have the opportunity and let me know if any improvement is observed.
Auto Coupons for WooCommerce is designed to avoid “scan every coupon on every page view” behavior, but it does need to evaluate eligible coupons when cart activity happens. On stores with a sudden large volume of visitors, or large number of coupons (especially lots of auto-apply / URL-apply / restricted coupons) that translates into heavier database work, and on basic hosting it can show up as high server load.
If you want, I’m happy to help confirm whether it’s configuration vs hosting limits. Please share:
Total coupon count
How many are set to auto-apply and/or apply via URL
I have an update for you in version 2.1.9 that makes a small improvement on how the shipping method names are retrieved.
If this does not work, you may need to confirm that Boxtal Connect is storing the shipping method titles in the wp_options array for each shipping method. Please let me know if this resolves the issue.
Yes, the methods should appear with the country and then the name of the method as it appears below. I will try to look into why Boxtal Connect methods are not displaying this way.
If I’m able to include a fix in the next release, or if I need more information, I will let you know.
Thanks for the report. The Ship Estimate plugin runs during WooCommerce’s email processing, and in this case it didn’t safely ignore a non-order email. That caused the gift card email to fail.
I’ve added a safeguard so Ship Estimate skips unsupported email types. This will be fixed in today’s release (look for v 2.1.7 or more).
Yes, you can run several promotions with different coupons. You can have multiple Auto Apply coupons active at the same time, each with its own product/category/qty/email rules.
A few behavior notes:
The native WooCommerce coupon usage restrictions and usage limits still work. For instance, if a coupon is marked Individual use, it will block other discounts when it’s applied.
Non-individual coupons can stack together, as long as your WooCommerce settings and coupon rules allow them.
Auto Coupons will only apply coupons that match the usage restriction / usage limit rules and aren’t expired.
Thank you for your prompt response. I understand that the popup only displays once per site, but I manage dozens of sites with this plugin installed.
But the core issue here is that the ad:
1) Is a center screen popup ad requiring dismissal in wp-admin
2) Displayed on settings pages belonging to other plugins, effectively placing advertising on top of other developers’ work
Any promotional notice displayed outside of WP Adminify’s own settings pages is still a guideline issue, regardless of whether it is a popup or not, and the full-screen Black Friday popup simply makes this more of a concern.
Here are the three easiest options for adding extra notes to a shipping method at checkout.
1. Extend the Shipping method name in WC: WooCommerce includes a Name field for each shipping method. Appending extra details to the name is the simplest approach, and the text will appear in the name on checkout.
2. Add a description using the Ship Estimate plugin. You may prepend additional info in the Description field under Ship Estimate > Methods > Description (for each method). The description is included before the days/date estimate shown.
3. Add a visual note with CSS: If you want something that appears separately above a specific shipping option, you can target its label and append extra text with CSS. For example this targets the free_shipping:1 method in a cart-block checkout:
