I’m trying to set up an auto-responder where whomever signs up gets a coupon code that they can use once. Is there a way to set this so it’s one per customer.
Nope, eStore doesn’t have this ability. You can create “one time use” coupon but it won’t work as a per customer basis.
I would like to add a feature like this but WP eStore has no way of guaranteeing or identifying that a user has already used a coupon or not. When a visitor adds items to the cart he/she is just an anonymous user. eStore only puts a label to that customer after a payment is made and it can get the user details from the payment gateway. Even if you added a check to ask for their email address before they can add items or apply coupon the customer can easily use a different/fake email address to pose as a different customer and use the coupon (you can’t prevent that). This sort of feature (one coupon per customer) works well if you have a membership type system on your site that enforces the customer to log in before they can checkout. When a user logs in he/she is not anonymous anymore and you can apply logic/conditions based on his/her profile (example: you can check if this user has used coupons before or not). Then again if you force customers to log into your site then your checkout process is not simple anymore and you loose big on the cart abandonment rate due to complex checkout process.
That would be fine. Most of my customers are not going to try and game the system.
If you could add this, would be wonderful.
Amin – how would one go about adding these “logic/conditions” to the codebase?
Meaning it would only deal with “logged in members” – and this conditional would check to see if a particular member has used this coupon before or not?

Honestly, I don’t know. What sort of scenario do you have in mind. I am interested to know the flow of events that you expect your visitors to do and the cart to expect.
We actually got it to work by adding some additional code and an additional table in the Db. I can email you what we did if you are interested.
