Tip #16: Creating Coupons Using Wishlist Member Plugin

Many of our clients who are also Wishlist users keep asking us how they can use coupons with Wishlist, since this feature is not built-in inside the plugin.

Using Coupons with Wishlist

Since the Wishlist Member plugin itself does not support coupons, you have 2 options:

Option #1:

Use a payment gateway that supports coupons such as: InfusionSoft, 2CheckOut, 1ShoppingCart, Authorize.net, Stripe

Unfortunately, two of the most popular shopping carts, PayPal and Clickbank, does not support coupons.

Option #2:

Purchase Wishlist Coupon 2.0, a plugin developed by the Wishlist Member team which allows you to offer discount coupons which can be applied when users purchase membership levels.

The coupons can be easily added to any post or page using simple shortcodes and you can customize the coupons according to your needs.

You can set the coupons to be valid only for limited number of days/ for limited quantity or for limited number of days after registration.

Wishlist Coupon 2.0 also gives you detailed reports about the different users, how many coupons they have used and whether they completed the purchase through the coupon or not.

Also, you can view tracking information whenever a successful transaction is done through a coupon.

Tips for Using Coupons the Right Way

No matter which option you choose, here are some tips to help you maximize your revenues when using coupons:

• Set an expiration date / Limit the capacity – The key word here is Urgency! Create it and increase your revenues
• Spread your coupons over the Internet – This will also help you get more traffic
• Don’t offer too many coupons – It will make people wait for a coupon in order to buy and it will also make it seem as you are offering coupons because this is the only to get sales
• Give people a reason for the coupon – In addition to the previous sentence, give people the feeling you are not just releasing coupons like crazy to generate sales, announce the reason for the coupon, for example: holidays, birthday etc.
• Make sure you can track the success of your coupons – To improve in time
• Give exclusive coupons for joint ventures – Guest posting, connections and partnerships
