Add more than 1 free product with a coupon

[Jane Christensen]

Hello!

I am getting ready to set up a coupon where if they purchase at least $100 they get 6 free hand sanitizers. Is there a way to set how many of the same product they get for free?

Thanks!

You can paste the following snippet in your child theme’s functions.php. Replace THE_COUPON_CODE with the actual coupon code.

add_filter( 'wjecf_free_product_amount_for_coupon', function ( $coupon_qty, $coupon ) { 
  if ( strcasecmp( $coupon->get_code(), 'THE_COUPON_CODE' ) === 0 ) {
    $coupon_qty = 6;
  }
  return $coupon_qty;
} );

(Untested)

I put it in my child theme but it didn’t work, it is still showing just 1 at checkout 🙁

add_filter( ‘wjecf_free_product_amount_for_coupon’, function ( $coupon_qty, $coupon ) {
if ( strcasecmp( $coupon->get_code(), ‘clean’ ) === 0 ) {
$coupon_qty = 6;
}
return $coupon_qty;
} );

I missed a 10, 2

Does the following work?

add_filter( 'wjecf_free_product_amount_for_coupon', function ( $coupon_qty, $coupon ) { 
  if ( strcasecmp( $coupon->get_code(), 'THE_COUPON_CODE' ) === 0 ) {
    $coupon_qty = 6;
  }
  return $coupon_qty;
}, 10, 2 );

it does not :/ I am using a flatsome theme, not the child theme of that theme anymore, could that be why?

[Soft79]

Yes, that’s the cause. You could put it in the flatsome functions.php, but it will be overwritten when you update your theme. Alternatively you can create a custom plugin for this:

1. On your PC create a directory jane-custom-plugin/
2. In that directory create a file jane-custom-plugin.php with the following content:

/*
Plugin Name: Jane Custom Plugin
Description: Custom Coupon functionality.
Author: Jane Christensen
Version: 1.0.0
*/

add_filter( 'wjecf_free_product_amount_for_coupon', function ( $coupon_qty, $coupon ) { 
  if ( strcasecmp( $coupon->get_code(), 'THE_COUPON_CODE' ) === 0 ) {
    $coupon_qty = 6;
  }
  return $coupon_qty;
}, 10, 2 );

3. Zip the directory into a file jane-custom-plugin.zip (so the php-file is named jane-custom-plugin/jane-custom-plugin.php inside the zip-file)
4. Go to wp-admin > Plugins > Add Plugin and upload and activate your plugin!

I have never made my own plugin before, is there a forum/link you can send me for the steps?

[Soft79]

Actually those 4 steps is all you need! Is there anything you’re stuck with?

More info: https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/ but this is probably too much information.

I dont know how to “create a directory” 🙁 I am working on a mac just FYI

[Soft79]

I’ve sent you a custom plugin using wetransfer to car..@omni……com

[Jane Christensen]

I got it! I will install it and let you know! Thank you! Is this a workout with any code? creating a new plugin?

[Jane Christensen]

I got it! I will install it and let you know! Thank you! Is this a work around with any code? creating a new plugin and installing it?

[Jane Christensen]

it worked! thank you so much!

[Soft79]

You can edit this plugin, adding rules whenever you want. No need to create multiple plugins for that.

Great! Happy sales!
