Retrieve coupon details from coupon code WooCommerce

In order for the WC_Coupon function to work, I needed to add the "new" keyword prior to calling the function. As demonstrated below.

$coupon_code = 'save10percent';
global $woocommerce;
$c = new WC_Coupon($coupon_code);

Now I can get details about the coupon like so

echo "Discount Amount ".$c->amount;//Get Discount amount
echo "Discount Type ".$c->discount_type;//Get type of discount
echo "Individual Use ".$c->individual_use;//Get individual use status
echo "Usage Count ".$c->usage_count;//Get number of times the coupon has been used
echo "Uage Limit ".$c->usage_limit;//Get usage limit
echo "Coupon Description ".$c->description;//Get coupon description

Search only post type in wordpress

By default wordpress search provides a searching function on whole site whether it is pages or post type. In order to make the search only post type in wordpress, below is the code you need to copy and paste it in to your function.php file.

function filter_search($query) {
if ($query->is_search) {
$query->set('post_type', array('post','page'));
};
return $query;
};
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'filter_search');

Notice the line that says

$query->set('post_type',array('post','page'));

We can filter the search results by changing the values in the array variable. Right now it is set to display posts and pages but you can modify it to display anything we required.

Create a coupon programatically in WooCommerce

We will need to add this code to our child theme’s functions.php file or via a plugin that allows custom functions to be added. We always have to remember, we don’t have to add custom code directly to our parent theme’s functions.php file as this will be wiped entirely when we update the theme.

/**
 * Create a coupon programatically
 */
$coupon_code = 'UNIQUECODE'; // Code
$amount = '10'; // Amount
$discount_type = 'fixed_cart'; // Type: fixed_cart, percent, fixed_product, percent_product
     
$coupon = array(
 'post_title' => $coupon_code,
 'post_content' => '',
 'post_status' => 'publish',
 'post_author' => 1,
 'post_type'  => 'shop_coupon'
);
     
$new_coupon_id = wp_insert_post( $coupon );
     
// Add meta
update_post_meta( $new_coupon_id, 'discount_type', $discount_type );
update_post_meta( $new_coupon_id, 'coupon_amount', $amount );
update_post_meta( $new_coupon_id, 'individual_use', 'no' );
update_post_meta( $new_coupon_id, 'product_ids', '' );
update_post_meta( $new_coupon_id, 'exclude_product_ids', '' );
update_post_meta( $new_coupon_id, 'usage_limit', '' );
update_post_meta( $new_coupon_id, 'expiry_date', '' );
update_post_meta( $new_coupon_id, 'apply_before_tax', 'yes' );
update_post_meta( $new_coupon_id, 'free_shipping', 'no' );

WooCommerce Account Page Custom Endpoint

We can do it using below simple steps. We have to add the below code given in steps in our theme functions.php or in plugin code.

Step 1: In this post, we will see how we can add custom endpoint to my account page in front means one new our own page like order, download (default one’s). To do this, first we’ll add rewrite endpoint using WordPress function ‘add_rewrite_endpoint’ on ‘init’ hook.

function aft_custom_endpoint() {
  add_rewrite_endpoint( 'custom', EP_ROOT | EP_PAGES );
}
 
add_action( 'init', 'aft_custom_endpoint' );

Step 2: Now, we will add menu item for this custom endpoint on WooCommerce My Account page menu so that we can access easily. For this we’ll use ‘woocommerce_account_menu_items’ filter.

add_filter( 'woocommerce_account_menu_items', 'aft_new_menu_items' );
 
/**
* Insert the new endpoint into the My Account menu.
*
* @param array $items
* @return array
*/
function aft_new_menu_items( $items ) {
    $items[ 'custom' ] = __( 'Custom', 'webkul' );
    return $items;
}

The above code will add one more menu item named Custom at the end of my account page menu list.

Step 3: The endpoint has been added, menu item also added, now next thing will be, how can we add content to this new (say) page..? Not to worry, WooCommerce provide the hook using which we can add content –

$endpoint = 'custom';
 
add_action( 'woocommerce_account_' . $endpoint .  '_endpoint', 'aft_endpoint_content' );
 
function aft_endpoint_content() {
    //content goes here
    echo '//content goes here';    
}
