Allow Registered Users the Ability to Create their own Coupons

    OK,

    So I have searched the internet rather well, but cannot find a Plugin that will do this!

    I am looking after a Clients Website and They are running a Theme Called: 27 Theme My Listing Theme.

    The Registered Users (Business Owners) all have their own page.

    The person who owns the site has requested the ability for logged in users to be able to create their OWN Coupons to be able to give them out to their customers. So this is not just a Coupon Plugin for the Site but rather the ability for individual users to create a Coupon.

    Can someone recommend such a Plugin or would this have to be a special code request from a software developer?

    Any help would be highly sought after thanks!

    Wayne

    There is some vital information missing from your post, that’s why it’s gone unanswered for days.

    A coupon generator cannot stand alone, for a coupon code is only useful if it can be recognized and accepted as VALID by the receiving or consuming entity.

    So what are these coupons to be used for? Is it part of some e-commerce shopping cart setup? If so, what are you using for the shopping cart? Woocommerce?

    UPDATE:

    As I said earlier, a coupon code generator cannot be stand-alone: it has to coded to work with the system that will accept the code (unless the code is to be used offline). If this coupon code is to somehow work with your “MyListing” theme, then you’ll be hard-pressed to find a 3rd-party plugin to work with it, as it’s a commercial product (and not a super-popular one at that).

    So it’s going to be a custom job, and your options then would be to 1) Contact the theme’s developer if they can do a custom job for you, or 2) hire some independent developer to do the work for you.

    Good luck

    Hi George,

    Thank you for the reply!

    The site is running WooCommerce.

    But as for the Coupon Plugin, I don’t think I am wanting a Stand Alone Coupon Generator. The Coupon Generator I require will be installed to WP as usual. It does not even have to hook back to woo!

    Maybe a more direct request is: I need the Coupon Generator to be able to be accessed by a Certain User Group. So that they can generate their own Coupons on their page.

    I did think of possibly changing the site to “Mutli Site” I could then use the Coupon Generator for All User individually. But seeing as there are over 200 users this would be a logistically challenging nightmare. But a Multi Site scenario is probably the best explanation I can come up with as to what I want the Coupon Generator to do!

    Kind Regards,
    Wayne
