Gateway Coupon Assistant vs Really Simple Security – Simple and Performant Security (formerly Really Simple SSL)

Gateway Coupon Assistant enhances your WooCommerce store’s marketing capabilities by allowing you to create coupons that are restricted to specific payment gateways. This feature enables you to run targeted promotions, encouraging customers to use certain payment methods, which can help reduce transaction fees or improve cash flow. The plugin seamlessly integrates with the native WooCommerce coupon system, adding a new “Gateway Restriction” tab to the coupon settings. You can also set up customizable promotional banners that appear on the cart and checkout pages to inform customers about your special gateway-specific offers. Key Features: Restrict Coupons to Payment Gateways: Easily select one or more payment gateways for which a coupon should be valid. Seamless Integration: Adds a dedicated tab directly into the WooCommerce coupon editor for an intuitive user experience. Promotional Banners: Display customizable banners on the cart and checkout pages to advertise your offers. Advanced Banner Control: Control where each banner appears (cart, checkout) and set visibility for different devices (desktop/mobile). Smart Validation: If a customer applies a valid coupon and then switches to an invalid payment gateway, the coupon is automatically removed, and a clear notification is displayed. Highly Customizable: Change banner templates, colors, and messages directly from the settings page. How to Use Creating a gateway-specific coupon is simple: Create or Edit a Coupon: Navigate to WooCommerce > Coupons in your WordPress dashboard. Create a new coupon or edit an existing one. Set the Restriction: In the “Coupon data” section, click on the Gateway Restriction tab. From the “Allowed Payment Gateways” dropdown, select one or more payment gateways where this coupon should be valid. Save or update the coupon. Configure the Promotional Banner (Optional): Go to WooCommerce > Gateway Coupons. In the “Main Banner Content” tab, enter the coupon code you want to feature in the banner. Customize the banner message, template, and colors. In the “Banner Display Locations” tab, choose where you want the banner to appear (cart page, checkout page, etc.) and set device visibility. Save the settings. That’s it! The plugin will now automatically validate the coupon against the customer’s chosen payment method during checkout.
