- Maximum Spend: On the other hand, the “Maximum Spend” limit allows you to cap the total purchase amount eligible for the coupon discount. If you set a maximum spend of $200, the coupon will not apply if the customer’s cart exceeds this limit.
These features offer a flexible way to tailor your promotions. For instance, you can encourage customers to spend more by offering a discount only on purchases above a certain threshold. Alternatively, you can limit the coupon to specific ranges to control your budget or align with marketing strategies.

Products and Exclude Products:

By selecting specific products, you tailor the discount to a particular range within your inventory. For instance, if you’re running a promotion on a specific product line, you can ensure the coupon only affects those chosen items.
- Exclude Products: On the other hand, “Exclude Products” allows you to pinpoint items that should not be included in the coupon offer. This is useful when you want to apply a store-wide discount but exclude certain products from the promotion. For example, if there are items already on sale, you might choose to exclude them from additional coupon discounts.
By strategically utilizing the “Products” and “Exclude Products” options, you gain granular control over where your coupons apply and where they don’t. This level of precision enhances your marketing strategy, allowing for targeted promotions and a more tailored approach to discount distribution on your Add-On-Desk platform.

For example, if you want to promote all items in the “Electronics” category, you can ensure the coupon only affects products within that specific category.
- Exclude Categories: Conversely, “Exclude Categories” allows you to specify which product categories should not be included in the coupon offer. This is useful when you want to provide a store-wide discount but exclude certain types of products. For instance, if certain categories are already on sale, you might choose to exclude them from additional coupon discounts.

This level of flexibility enhances your ability to run targeted promotions, ensuring your discounts align seamlessly with your overall marketing strategy on your Add-On-Desk platform.
Allowed Emails: The “Allowed Emails” option allows you to specify which email addresses can use the coupon. By adding specific email addresses to this list, you ensure that the discount is accessible only to customers associated with those emails. This can be particularly handy for targeted promotions or exclusive offers to a specific group of customers.
Usage Limits
The “Usage Limits” section empowers you with tools to manage how your coupons are utilized. This section includes important features such as “Usage Limit per Coupon,” “Limit Usage to X Items,” and “Usage Limit per User.”
- Usage Limit per Coupon: The “Usage Limit per Coupon” setting allows you to define the maximum number of times a specific coupon can be used overall. Once this limit is reached, the coupon becomes invalid, preventing further redemptions.
- Limit Usage to X Items: With “Limit Usage to X Items,” you can restrict the coupon to be applied only to a specified quantity of items in the cart. For example, if you set the limit to 3 items, the coupon discount will apply only to the first 3 eligible items in the customer’s cart.
- Usage Limit per User: “Usage Limit per User” empowers you to set a maximum number of times an individual customer can use the coupon. This is particularly useful for creating a sense of exclusivity or preventing abuse of discounts by limiting each customer’s usage. We suggest letting each person use a coupon only one time. This is to make things fair and avoid any problems. It means everyone gets a chance to use the coupon, and it keeps everything simple and fair for all customers.
These usage limit features offer a comprehensive way to control the distribution and impact of your coupons. Whether you want to limit overall usage, cap the number of items eligible for a discount, or control how frequently individual customers can benefit, the Usage Limits options in WooCommerce provide a flexible and strategic approach to your coupon management.
