How to Use WooCommerce Discount Codes with Mimeeq Products
How to Use WooCommerce Discount Codes with Mimeeq Products
Quick Overview
WooCommerce's regular coupon system works with Mimeeq products. This guide covers the simple case (a single configured product) and the case where several parts are bundled together in one cart.
The Basics
Every Configured Product Gets a Tag Automatically
Products created from a customer's configuration are automatically tagged mimeeq-custom — you don't have to set this up yourself. You can use this tag to target Mimeeq products specifically with a coupon, without having to list every product one by one.
Bundled Products Need a Little More Care
If several parts are bundled together into one cart line (see Add to Cart Methods), a coupon aimed at "one product" needs to specifically target the right part of that bundle — more on this below.
Setting Up a Basic Discount Code
Step 1 (Optional): Group Your Mimeeq Products
You can filter or group products by the automatic mimeeq-custom tag, or create your own product category and assign it manually if you'd like more control over which products a coupon applies to.
- Go to WP Admin → WooCommerce → Products
- Filter by tag:
mimeeq-custom
Step 2: Create the Coupon
- Go to WP Admin → WooCommerce → Coupons
- Click Add coupon
- Enter a coupon code
- Choose the discount type (fixed amount, percentage, or free shipping)
- Restrict it to Mimeeq products — two ways to do this, depending on what you need:
- By product or category — WooCommerce's own Usage restriction → Products or Product categories fields
- By the
mimeeq-customtag — WooCommerce doesn't support restricting by tag out of the box, so this plugin adds its own "Mimeeq products only" checkbox to the Usage restriction tab, right under "Individual use only". Tick it and the coupon only applies when the cart contains at least one product taggedmimeeq-custom— no need to list products or maintain a category
- Set any other conditions you need
- Publish the coupon
Step 3: Test It
- Visit your store
- Add a Mimeeq-configured product to the cart
- Go to checkout
- Apply the discount code
- Confirm it applies correctly
Discount Codes with Bundled Products
Discounts for the Whole Order
These work exactly as you'd expect, no special setup needed:
- A percentage off the whole order
- A fixed amount off the whole order
- Free shipping
Discounts Targeting a Specific Product
This is where it gets a little less obvious: when several parts are bundled into a single cart line, WooCommerce only "sees" one main (master) item for that line. So a coupon restricted by product or category needs to target that master component specifically — either directly, or through a category it belongs to. (The "Mimeeq products only" tag-based checkbox doesn't have this limitation — it checks the whole cart, not a specific line item.)
Important to know: the discount applies to the value of the entire bundle, not just the master component's own price.
Example: if the master component is worth £1,000 inside a £3,000 bundle, a 10% coupon targeting that master component gives a £300 discount (10% of the full £3,000), not £100.
Best Practices
- When discounting bundles, target the master component
- Test any bundle-related coupon before making it live
- Keep a note of which products act as "master" components in your bundles, so this doesn't catch anyone off guard later
- For simplicity, consider order-level discounts instead of product-specific ones when bundles are involved
Other Ways to Offer a Discount
- Adjust the price directly in Mimeeq if you want the discount to simply show up as the price — no coupon code needed
- WooCommerce automatic discounts, for storewide or category-wide promotions that don't need a code
- Dynamic pricing plugins (such as WooCommerce Dynamic Pricing) can be used alongside Mimeeq products
