How to add WooCommerce Dynamic coupon codes to emails?

Customers love receiving coupons via email, so increasing your email open rate and conversion rates is necessary.

Sending Dynamic coupon codes via emails will make customers feel special and help you create a personalized engagement. It can encourage people to abandon carts and inactive customers to return to the store right away.

WooCommerce has limited options related to creating dynamic coupon codes. This is where WooCommerce coupon code plugins like Retainful can help you out.

Exclusive coupons can help you retain customers. So, you have to act quickly and start sending coupons before your customers migrate to another store.

So, let’s cut to the chase and list out the simple step-by-step process of creating and adding WooCommerce dynamic coupon codes to your emails using Retainful.

What is a dynamic coupon code?

A dynamic coupon code is an automatically generated single-use unique coupon code. These unique coupon codes can be sent to customers as part of your email campaign.

Customers can use these coupon codes to get discounts on the checkout page. Once the coupon is redeemed, the code will be redundant, and customers cannot use it again.

Benefits of sending Dynamic coupon codes?

Dynamic coupon codes provide significant advantages that can improve the quality and conversion of your coupon campaign.

Unique – Retainful generates coupon codes that are unique to each customer. They cannot be duplicated or reused.

Single-use – Once a customer redeems the dynamic coupon code, the code becomes redundant. Even if a customer shares it with a friend, it can’t be used again.

Automated – You don’t have to name your coupons manually. Once configured, Retainful will automatically generate a unique coupon code and send it to customers via email.

Expiry date – As these coupon codes are unique, they offer you better flexibility in setting the expiry date.

Secure – As the coupon generation process is automated, it saves time, and they are more secure than static coupon codes.

Where can I use these unique coupon codes?

You can use dynamic coupon codes in your emails campaign, social media campaigns & more. With Retainful, you add unique coupon codes to these automated email campaigns.

Abandoned cart recovery – Add unique coupon codes to your abandoned cart emails and send them to cart abandoners. Add expiry dates to these coupon codes to create FOMO.

Thank you for the email – Thank customers for their purchase and offer dynamic Next order coupons to encourage them to drive repeated sales.

Win back email – Re-engage with lost customers and send a dynamic discount code in your win-back email to bring them back to your store.

Welcome email – Send dynamic coupon codes as a first order discount and congratulate customers on their first purchase to increase loyalty.
