No. Discounts apply automatically. Customers see sale prices directly on product pages and in their cart without entering any codes.

Yes! Create campaigns weeks or months ahead. Set them to “Scheduled” status and they’ll automatically activate at the specified time.

Absolutely! Set up daily, weekly, or monthly recurring campaigns. Perfect for “Weekend Sales” or “First Friday” promotions that run forever.

Yes! Smart Cycle Discounts works with any properly coded WordPress theme. It integrates with WooCommerce’s native sale price system, so your theme’s existing sale styling works automatically.

There are no limits! Create and run unlimited campaigns in both the free and Pro versions. Run as many simultaneous discounts as your store needs.

BOGO (Buy One Get One) lets you create offers like “Buy 2, Get 1 Free” or “Buy 1, Get 1 at 50% off”. Configure the buy quantity, get quantity, and discount percentage. Available in the Free version.

Bundle Discounts let you discount a required set of products only when the full set is in cart. You can use percentage off, fixed amount off, or flat bundle price. Available in Pro.

Spend Threshold discounts apply when cart totals reach a certain amount. For example: “Spend $100, get 15% off” or “Spend $200, get $30 off”. Great for increasing average order value. Available in Pro.

Tiered Pricing offers quantity-based discounts. Create tiers like: Buy 5+ get 10% off, Buy 10+ get 20% off, Buy 25+ get 30% off. Encourages customers to buy more. Available in the Pro version.

Yes! Use the Draft status to create and configure campaigns without activating them. Review settings, check health scores, and preview affected products. When ready, change status to Active or Scheduled.

Yes! On the Campaigns list, hover over any campaign and click “Duplicate”. This creates a copy with all settings intact. Great for creating similar seasonal campaigns or A/B testing different discount amounts.

Yes! Free users get campaign start/end notifications. Pro users get advanced alerts: ending warnings (24hrs before), performance monitoring, daily/weekly reports, low stock alerts, and milestone notifications.

Campaign data is stored in your WordPress database. Smart Cycle Discounts follows WordPress security practices including nonce verification and capability checks. If you connect third-party email providers (for notifications), related message data is sent to those services as configured.

Random Products mode automatically selects X products from your catalog each time the campaign runs. Perfect for “Mystery Sales” or rotating promotions. Just set how many products you want discounted.

Yes! Enable free shipping for any campaign with a single toggle. When enabled, customers receive free shipping on qualifying orders. You can apply it to all shipping methods or select specific methods like flat rate or local pickup.

Yes! Smart Cycle Discounts is fully compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS). We’ve declared compatibility and tested thoroughly with custom order tables.

Yes. Smart Cycle Discounts supports add-on priced products and recent releases improved live recalculation stability on single product pages. In Pro (1.7.65+), campaigns also include add-on discount application control for base-focused pricing behavior.

Campaign Intelligence is a built-in decision engine that analyzes every campaign and gives you actionable guidance. The free version surfaces risk signals, next-step recommendations, conflict detection, schedule overlap warnings, and coupon-aware verdicts (stacking risks, redemption-velocity overruns). Pro unlocks strategic performance metrics — revenue per discount dollar, margin risk scoring, promotion lift expectations, and 30-day analytics history with CSV export. Intelligence guides, never blocks: every decision stays yours.

Yes — every campaign type can require a coupon code instead of auto-applying. That includes percentage, fixed amount, BOGO, Buy X Get Y, tiered pricing, spend thresholds, and bundles. Most coupon plugins only support percentage or fixed amount; Smart Cycle Discounts works on the full discount surface. Customers enter the code in WooCommerce’s native cart/checkout field and the discount appears as a familiar “Coupon CODE: -$X.XX” line.

Yes. Every code-required campaign has a “Copy share link” button that gives you a URL like yourstore.com/cart/?wsscd_code=WELCOME15. When a customer clicks it, the code is applied automatically — perfect for email blasts, social posts, and transactional templates. They don’t need to type anything at checkout.

Pro plans include bulk unique-code generation — up to 50,000 single-use codes per campaign, exportable as CSV for email blasts, referral programs, partner promotions, or printed inserts. You can lock each code to one redemption globally (single-use per code) or one per customer (single-use per customer). The per-campaign codes admin page shows every code, its usage count, and lets you copy share links one at a time.

Every code-required campaign has a “View codes” button on the campaigns list that opens a dedicated admin page. You’ll see each code, how many times it’s been used, when it was last redeemed, and (on Pro) you can export the whole list to CSV. Campaign Intelligence also flags codes with unusual velocity — for example, a code being redeemed faster than its usage cap allows — before it costs you margin.

Optional cart nudges show contextual hints right where customers are about to check out. When a code-required campaign is live and no code is applied, a “Got a discount code? Enter it at checkout to save.” notice appears in the cart and mini-cart. For tier and Buy X Get Y campaigns, nudges tell shoppers exactly what they’re missing — “Add 1 more to unlock 15% off” or “Add a hat to claim your 50% off reward.” All toggled in Settings → Display → Cart Nudges; none of it interrupts the buying flow.

When a campaign reaches its end date, it automatically deactivates and removes sale prices from affected products. The campaign stays in your list as “Ended” so you can duplicate it or reactivate with new dates.

Cycle AI lets you describe a discount campaign in plain English — for example, “Run a 20% off sale on summer clothing for the next 2 weeks.” The AI reads your real WooCommerce catalog, selects the right products, configures the discount rules, and drafts a complete campaign. You can refine it with follow-up messages and launch when you’re ready.

The free version includes 10 AI drafts per month. Pro plans include 50 AI drafts per day. Each draft is one campaign generation — follow-up refinements within the same conversation don’t count as new drafts.

Yes. Cycle AI only sends lightweight catalog metadata (product names, categories, price ranges) to generate campaigns — never customer data, order history, or payment information. You must give explicit consent before the feature activates, and you can revoke it at any time.
