Use cases – 10 smart ways to bulk edit coupons with Smart Manager

Doing the following tasks using Smart Manager will make your life easier! In the below cases, the advanced coupon restrictions and store credit or gift cards are created using Smart Coupons plugin.

Find all coupons that are used multiple times

Input these conditions in Smart Manager’s Advanced Search panel and you’ll get the exact results quickly. Not just these, you can search for coupons based on any complex conditions.

Say, coupons having a fixed % amount greater than 20 but less than 50, the usage limit greater than 1 but less than 4, the expiry date set to Aug 31, 2025. All those coupons matching the conditions will be displayed within seconds.

Extend coupons and run an extended sale

You have generated five different types of coupons getting expired on 2nd December. But to increase sales, you want to run an extended sale period. And set the expiry date of these multiple coupons to 4th December.

To do that, simply go to Smart Manager, search for these coupons and extend their expiry date at once using Smart Manager’s Bulk Edit functionality.

Find and delete coupons based on a keyword

Before going live with a coupon, it’s a good practice to test them first. Now, you may have created several test coupons and mostly, the coupon code will have the name ‘Test’.

Deleting all these test coupons one by one is tiresome. With Smart Manager at your aid, you don’t need to dig through all the coupons.

Search using the keyword ‘test’ in Smart Manager and the coupons having that keyword will get displayed. Select all and click on “delete”. Done instantly!

Extend Black Friday store credit till Christmas or Boxing Day

A simple tactic to encourage repeat purchases.

Christmas time gives low sales. So why not extend the store credit redemption limit till 28th December on purchases made during Black Friday or Cyber Monday so that customers buy again!

No guesses here. Use Smart Manager and accomplish the job.

Restrict coupons only to @gmail addresses

Now, it may so happen that users having any random email use your coupon code and buy your plugins or keep playing with it on the site. You may have set allowed emails to @gmail for some coupons. But now, you want to do it for all coupons.

Select all your coupons in Smart Manager, click on Bulk Edit, select ‘Allowed Emails’, set it to ‘*@gmail.com’ and Update.

All your coupon codes will now be restricted to customers containing ‘.@gmail’ in their email address entered during checkout.

Find all coupons for excluded products or categories

Again, use Smart Manager’s search filter. Using Advanced Search, select the fields “Exclude Product IDs” or “Exclude Product Categories”, enter the appropriate data and your desired results will be in front of you.

Search for specific coupons & set the ‘individual use’ option to true

Black Friday / CyberMonday happens to be the best sales period for the majority of online stores. Now, you may be running a very big offer. And so, you only want a single coupon to apply and no other coupons.

So, using Smart Manager, you can select all those coupons which should not be used along with your main coupon, click on Bulk Edit and set the ‘Individual use’ option to ‘Yes’.

Extend or Reduce the ‘Active for X payments’ for subscription coupons

You have set subscription coupons for renewal payments for six months. Now, as a bait to retain customers, you want to extend that recurring coupons use to twelve months.

Go to Smart Manager, select the desired subscription coupons, click on Bulk Edit, set the ‘Active for X payments’ field to 12.

This means existing customers of those coupons will get recurring discounts for an additional 6 months.

Extend expired and unused balance store credits

You may have customers who haven’t used their store credit yet. And you want to encourage them to use the store credit on purchasing from your store.

As usual, use the search filter using Smart Manager and update the expiry date of all these coupons at once. Then export CSV of the same coupons to send a reminder email to the customers.

Modify coupons based on locations, payment methods, shipping methods, allowed user roles

You want to restrict all your store credit coupons for US customers or allow selected coupons for flat rate shipping.

You also want to restrict some coupons only to the ‘Customer’ user role or allow only PayPal for selected coupons. And all these in bulk!
