Shortcodes
Generally, the plugin doesn't require any shortcodes, however, there are a few cases where you may need them. The plugin has two shortcodes:
[alg_wc_url_coupons_print_notices]
If you are using URL to a page where no WooCommerce notices are displayed, try adding our [alg_wc_url_coupons_print_notices] shortcode to the content. Please note that this shortcode will print all available WooCommerce notices (i.e. not only from our plugin, or notices related to the coupons).
[alg_wc_url_coupons_translate]
If you have a multi-language site (WPML or Polylang), you can translate custom notices, etc., with our [alg_wc_url_coupons_translate] shortcode:
[alg_wc_url_coupons_translate lang="EN,DE" lang_text="Text for EN & DE" not_lang_text="Text for other languages"]
or in the more complex form:
[alg_wc_url_coupons_translate lang="EN,DE"]Text for EN & DE[/alg_wc_url_coupons_translate][alg_wc_url_coupons_translate not_lang="EN,DE"]Text for other languages[/alg_wc_url_coupons_translate]
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the plugin allow applying coupons that require a minimum spend amount (e.g. $20 off orders of $100+)?
Yes. As our plugin uses standard WooCommerce coupons, you can use all the features that standard WooCommerce coupons have.
Coupons are not being applied to guest users. What to do?
Please make sure that "Force session start" checkbox is enabled (in "WooCommerce > Settings > URL Coupons > General").

Unfortunately the feature to delay the coupon until products are added does not work at all and also the notification text does not appear anywhere…
Update: That worked. Thank you!
