On a product that has samples enabled, customers see an “Order a sample” button. They can order a free sample, a paid sample, or a mix set by the shop: a set number of free samples first, then paid samples after that. What the free version does: * Set a sample price per product or per variation, free or paid. * Offer a set number of free samples first, then charge for further samples (tiered free-then-paid). * Limit how many samples a customer can order per order and per customer. * Keep sample orders sample-only: a cart that contains samples cannot also contain full-priced products, and a cart with full-priced products cannot add samples. * Sell swatch packs: a pack product made up of sample components. * Issue an automatic, single-use sample-credit coupon when a paid sample order is completed. The coupon is for the sample amount only, is restricted to the sampled products, and expires after 30 days. * Show a sample-to-full conversion report under WooCommerce > Sample Conversion, so you can see which sampled products led to full orders. The credit is calculated net of tax. If part of a sample order is refunded, the credit is reduced to match what was kept; if the sample is fully refunded, the coupon expires. Please note the limits that apply to this version: * Classic forms only. This plugin works with the classic cart and checkout. It declares the cart and checkout blocks incompatible, and the sample button does not render on a block theme. * Guests cannot redeem an email-restricted sample-credit coupon. A coupon issued for a sample order is tied to the email address used for that order. A guest customer must log in with the sample email address before the coupon can be used at checkout. * This plugin requires WooCommerce 8.8 or later, and has been tested with WooCommerce up to 11.2.1. ## Installation 1. Make sure WooCommerce is installed and active. 2. Upload the `tryvertising` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install it through the WordPress plugins screen. 3. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress. 4. Go to WooCommerce > Tryvertising to set the default sample button label and other defaults. 5. Edit a product and enable samples for it: set the sample price, how many free samples are included, and the per-order and per-customer limits. For a swatch pack, create a pack product and add its sample components. 6. View results under WooCommerce > Sample Conversion, and manage packs under WooCommerce > Sample Packs. ## FAQ ### How does the sample credit work? When a paid sample order is completed, the plugin creates a single-use coupon for the amount paid for the sample, restricted to the sampled products. The customer uses that coupon on a later full order of the same product. The coupon expires after 30 days. ### Can a customer mix samples and full products in one cart? No. Sample carts are sample-only. If a cart already contains samples, full-priced products cannot be added, and if a cart already contains full-priced products, samples cannot be added. ### Why can’t a guest use a sample-credit coupon? Sample-credit coupons are restricted to the email address used for the sample order. WooCommerce checks that restriction against a logged-in customer. A guest has no email address on file at the cart stage, so the coupon cannot be validated for a guest. Log in with the sample email address, and the coupon can then be used at checkout. ### What happens if a sample order is refunded? A partial refund reduces the credit to the amount kept. A full refund expires the coupon. The conversion report reflects refunds. ### Does this work with the block cart and checkout? No, not in this version. This plugin is classic-forms only and declares the cart and checkout blocks incompatible. ### What is a swatch pack? A pack product whose components are samples of other products. Customers order the pack as a sample, and the credit rules for its components apply as for single samples. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Tryvertising” is open source software.
