Woocommerce: Coupon for new customer / first order only


woocommerceOne of my customer request to offer a coupon for all new customer / first order only. But i do not manage to find any free plugin that able to achieve this. So i decided to dig into woocommerce checkout process and write my own function to achieve this.

To apply coupon for new customer in Woocommerce, follow the steps below:-

  • Before apply the code below, you have to create a new COUPON. I’ve created a new coupon name ‘firstlove’
  • Now you can copy and paste the code below into your theme functions.php
    /**
     * Frontend validate new customer only coupon code
     * hook: woocommerce_after_checkout_validation
     */
    add_action('woocommerce_after_checkout_validation','check_new_customer_coupon', 0);
    
    function check_new_customer_coupon(){
    	global $woocommerce;
    	// you might change the firstlove to your coupon
    	$new_cust_coupon_code = 'firstlove';
    	
    	$has_apply_coupon = false;
    
    	foreach ( WC()->cart->get_coupons() as $code => $coupon ) {
    		if($code == $new_cust_coupon_code) {
    			$has_apply_coupon = true;
    		}
    	}
    
    	if($has_apply_coupon) {
    			
    		if(is_user_logged_in()) {
    			$user_id = get_current_user_id();
    
    			// retrieve all orders
    			$customer_orders = get_posts( array(
    					'meta_key'    => '_customer_user',
    					'meta_value'  => $user_id,
    					'post_type'   => 'shop_order',
    					'numberposts'=> -1
    			) );
    
    			if(count($customer_orders) > 0) {
    				$has_ordered = false;
    					
    				$statuses = array('wc-failed', 'wc-cancelled', 'wc-refunded');
    					
    				// loop thru orders, if the order is not falled into failed, cancelled or refund then it consider valid
    				foreach($customer_orders as $tmp_order) {
    
    					$order = wc_get_order($tmp_order->ID);
    					if(!in_array($order->get_status(), $statuses)) {
    						$has_ordered = true;
    					}
    				}
    					
    				// if this customer already ordered, we remove the coupon
    				if($has_ordered == true) {
    					WC()->cart->remove_coupon( $new_cust_coupon_code );
    					wc_add_notice( sprintf( "Coupon code: %s is only applicable for new customer." , $new_cust_coupon_code), 'error' );
    					return false;
    				}
    			} else {
    				// customer has no order, so valid to use this coupon
    				return true;
    			}
    
    		} else {
    			// new user is valid
    			return true;
    		}
    	}
    
    }
  • once done, you can try to apply the coupon code for a new customer. It should work as expected.

If the code above could not satisfied your requirement, you can freely modify.

Happy Coding!

    hello everyone, I’ve change this code for run in my woocommerce. first of all, I changed the add_action to

    add_action(‘woocommerce_applied_coupon’,’check_new_customer_coupon’, 0);

    so, this way, every time a new cupon has added to cart, the code will run, not just after finish an order.
    and I changed $customer_orders
    that’s is the result:
    $customer_orders = get_posts( array(
    ‘numberposts’ => -1,
    ‘meta_key’ => ‘_customer_user’,
    ‘meta_value’ => get_current_user_id(),
    ‘post_type’ => wc_get_order_types(),
    ‘post_status’ => array_keys( wc_get_order_statuses() ),
    ) );

    I don’t know, but, looks like ‘post_type’ => ‘shop_order’, is deprecated, for me dosen’t work

    I hope help someone, and sorry for my english, I’m not fluent.

    Hello,
    I have tried out your code in WooCommerce version 3.06 and unfortunately it is not working.
    I just love the idea of having a new customer-first order coupon and I am wondering if you could make it work in the later WC versions?
    I would really appreciate it! Thank you so very much 🙂

    Thanks mate, I got this working and going to launch a campaign soon!

  4. Cathy says:

    This section of the code does not work:

    WC()->cart->remove_coupon( $new_cust_coupon_code );

    The notification will show but the coupon does not get removed from the cart. Is there an update to the code to make this work?

    should be working.
