Having coupons on your WooCommerce website is considered a great marketing strategy because your customers are engaged with your store and keep purchasing products, etc. Especially for new WooCommerce store owners who want to start getting customers and increase their sales.
But sometimes coupons can have a negative impact on your product’s sale; in this guide, I will discuss why and how to disable coupons in the WordPress WooCommerce website.
Why Disable coupons WooCommerce?
The main reason why you should hide coupons from customers is that when you keep providing coupons for your customers, they get used to it, and they will always look for coupons whenever they want to buy products from your store, and if they don’t get a coupons code, they will be waiting to find the coupon code and purchase products from your store.
Meanwhile, if they get a coupon code for any other store that has the same product that you are selling, they will immediately buy from them, and in that way, you will lose your customer. So it’s better to hide coupons on that specific product, and your customer will know that there is no coupon code for the product and will purchase it immediately without waiting.
4 Ways to Disable Coupons in the WooCommerce store
This guide will show you four ways that will disable or hide coupons in the WordPress WooCommerce store. Like if you want to disable the coupons for the overall website or only for some specific page, so let’s get started.
1) WooCommerce Disable coupons on the entire site
In WordPress, the WooCommerce plugin has a built-in function to disable coupons on the entire site, to do so, go to WooCommerce > Settings > General. In the General Tab, scroll down below, and there you will see Enable Coupons; uncheck it, and this way, the coupons section will be disabled on the entire site
2) WooCommerce Remove Coupon from Checkout page
If you want to remove the coupons section only from checkout page, then insert this below code in function.php file which is located in Appearance > Theme Editor
<?php
// remove coupon field on the checkout page
function disable_coupon_field_on_checkout( $enabled ) {
if ( is_checkout() ) {
$enabled = false;
}
return $enabled;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_coupons_enabled', 'disable_coupon_field_on_checkout' );
This code will hide the WooCommerce coupon only on the checkout page while still showing on the cart page.
3) Remove Coupon from Cart WooCommerce
If you want to show coupon only on the checkout page and remove it from the cart in WooCommerce, then insert this below code in the function.php file of your theme
<?php
// remove coupon field on the cart page
function disable_coupon_field_on_cart( $enabled ) {
if ( is_cart() ) {
$enabled = false;
}
return $enabled;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_coupons_enabled', 'disable_coupon_field_on_cart' );
In this way, the coupons section will be disabled on the cart page and visible on the checkout page.

4) Disable Coupon only for Specific Product
If you want to hide coupons for a specific product only, for example, you don’t want to give a discount on this particular product; then you can hide the coupon section for that specific product using this code.
<?php
add_filter( 'woocommerce_coupons_enabled','hide_coupon_field_on_cart' );
function hide_coupon_field_on_cart( $enabled ) {
$product_id = 55;
$cart = WC()->cart->get_cart();
foreach ( $cart as $id => $cart_item ) {
if( $cart_item[ 'data' ]->get_id() == $product_id ) {
return false;
}
}
return $enabled;
}
For this, you should know the ID of that specific product and then replace it with the above 55 number given to $product_id.
To get the ID for a specific product, go to your products in WooCommerce, and there check the ID of that product
Note: I showed you that copy and paste my code in function.php file but if you changed your theme, your code will be gone, so it’s better you use a plugin name Code Snippets and insert these codes there.
