Is it possible to pass a discount coupon in the product URL

[wpzippyton]

Hi, Is it possible using WP eStore to pass a discount coupon code in the URL like this:

[https://www.udemy.com/ajax-development/?couponCode=SUMMER75]

and if so, can this be combined with an affiliate id for WP Affiliate program like this:

[https://www.udemy.com/ajax-development/?couponCode=SUMMER75&siteID={affiliate_id}]

This would make it easier for affiliates to provide discounted links.

Yes something like that can definitely be done. Have you checked the following estore plugin feature yet by any chance?

I’ve tried it and the ?wp_eStore_add_to_cart part of the URL works but the discount part (e.g. &discount_code=50pc) does not work – no discount is being applied. I have the discount set up and it works when clicking on add to cart buttons.

Also, I have a rising reduction applied using eStore Bulk Discount add-on – 10% for two items, 20% for threee, etc – this isn’t appplied if add_to_cart is done in the URL rather than by clicking on the cart buttons – is it possible to get the bulk discount applied if purchases are made via add_to_cart in the URL?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Please share the link you are using to apply the discount so we can check it. Have you updated the extra shortcode addon on your site? Please make sure you are using extra shortcodes version 4.8.7 or more.

Hi – at the moment I’m working offline still. I’ll double-check it once it’s online.
