<h2>Extend or Automate your Coupons with WooCommerce URL Coupons</h2>
<p>The <strong>URL Coupons by SkyVerge</strong> extension allows you to add a unique URL to any coupon in your WooCommerce store. When this URL is used or clicked on, it automatically applies the coupon discount and can (optionally) add products to the customer’s shopping cart.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5793932" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/woocommerce-url-coupons-how-it-works.png?w=620" alt="URL coupon applied notice" width="620" height="252" /></p>
<p>URL coupons gives you the perfect way to make your print advertising actionable, or you can also help customers remember coupons so that they actually complete purchases. Measure the success of your pay-per-click ad campaigns by using a coupon URL, or use the plugin to only allow URL coupons.</p>
<h3>Increase Conversions by Removing Coupon Fields</h3>
<p>Studies from major analytics companies like <em>KISSmetrics</em> have shown that <a href="https://blog.kissmetrics.com/the-one-little-box/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">coupon boxes are conversion killers</a>. Customers leave your site to search for coupons, and may not return. URL coupons gives you the flexibility to be your <strong>only coupon method</strong>.</p>
<p>You can allow the plugin to hide your coupon code fields in the cart and/or checkout so that only URL coupons can be used. This way, customers with coupons automatically have them applied by visiting your URL, while other customers never leave to go coupon hunting.</p>

<h3>Automatically Apply Coupons for Visitors</h3>
<p>You can use the URL of an existing page or post on your site to trigger coupons. This means that you can trigger a coupon for anyone who reads a particular blog post or visits your landing page. This is a great way to reward your fans, brand loyalists, or customers that interact with you blog by providing an automatic discount.</p>
<h3>Redirect customers after coupon application</h3>
<p>You can redirect customers if you choose once they’ve visited a coupon URL. This allows you to optionally add products to the cart when the URL is visited and immediately send customers somewhere, such as the cart or checkout. This reduces as many barriers to purchasing as possible, and can even be used with <a href="https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-one-page-checkout/">WooCommerce One Page Checkout</a> for a completely seamless, one-page coupon application and purchasing experience.</p>
<h3>Personalize Your Coupon URLs to Reward Customers</h3>
<p>You can use a generic coupon URL, such as <code>mystore.com/coupon/thanks</code>, that will apply a “thank you” coupon. However, since this coupon URL doesn’t use a trailing slash, you can also use this to personalize the experience for your customers, as the URLs <code>mystore.com/coupon/thanks-john</code> or <code>mystore.com/coupon/thanksjane</code> will also work for this coupon.</p>
<p>You can also disable this behavior by using a trailing slash like <code>mystore.com/coupon/thanks/</code> if you’d prefer to use one definite URL for coupons instead.</p>

<li>use a unique URL or QR code on business cards to reward potential clients for checking in on you with a discount.</li>

<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Always sell the right products together</h2>
<p><strong>Force Sells for WooCommerce</strong> ensures required items, services, or fees are added with the main product automatically. That means fewer missed parts, fewer confused customers, and cleaner orders. Use it when certain items aren’t optional, when compliance requires an add‑on, or when you want to remove decision friction at the cart.</p>
<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Why this matters</h2>
<p>Customers often overlook essentials and support teams chase corrections later. Force Sells prevents lost revenue, avoids re‑shipping missing parts, and keeps checkout simple. Shoppers get everything they need in one step, and your operations stay tidy.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1490346" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/forcesells-datapanel.png?w=620" alt="Force Sells data panel" width="620" height="269" /></p>
<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Who it’s for</h2>
<p>Force Sells is designed for merchants who need certain products and services purchased together every time. It’s ideal when items can’t stand alone, when bundling protects margins, or when you want to remove guesswork for customers. Here’s a list of examples:</p>
<ul style="line-height: 1.8em">
<li><strong>Repair services:</strong> add required parts (e.g., replacement glass with iPad screen repair) so jobs are complete and margins are protected.</li>
<li><strong>Bike shops:</strong> include an installation fee with custom wheels/components so labor is always covered.</li>
<li><strong>Cosmetics brands:</strong> include a reusable pump with the first purchase of a refillable product to ensure product usability.</li>
<li><strong>SaaS or digital products:</strong> link a one‑time setup/onboarding fee to a subscription to reflect true delivery cost.</li>
<li><strong>Pet stores:</strong> bundle a starter kit with the first aquarium to reduce returns and support tickets.</li>
<li><strong>Training providers:</strong> attach course materials to each class registration so learners have what they need day one.</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Two ways to link products</h2>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-secondary">
<li><strong>Normal force sell:</strong> products are added with the main item in matching quantity. Shoppers can remove or adjust them if needed.</li>
<li><strong>Synced force sell:</strong> products are locked to the main item. They can’t be removed or edited separately; quantity and removal always follow the main product.</li>
</ul>
<p>In the cart, synced items are clearly marked as “linked,” so customers understand why those items move together. This clarity reduces confusion and follow‑up support.</p>

<h2 style="color: #f5247d">When to use Force Sells vs other options</h2>
<p>Choose <strong>Force Sells</strong> when the extra item is required every time. If you want to offer optional add‑ons or flexible bundles, consider Grouped Products or Product Bundles instead.
