Programatically create multiple coupons in WooCommerce - php

Question

I've been looking for a way to add coupons in bulk to WooCommerce, it's actually a list of 800 membership numbers, that grant a discount, and coupons seem to the best way to do this.
I've found a way to add a single coupon programatically: http://docs.woothemes.com/document/create-a-coupon-programatically/ but my limited PHP knowledge doesn't seem adequate to add 800.
I'm guessing an array or somehow linking to a .csv would do it, but I'm not sure. I'd be grateful for any help.

Answer 1

You could create an array of 800 diferent keys and just make a foreach loop to repeat the process for each different key you have on the array like this
forehach ( $your_800_array as $coupon_code){
//the code from the page you posted
$amount = '10'; // Amount
$discount_type = 'fixed_cart'; // Type: fixed_cart, percent, fixed_product, percent_product
$coupon = array(
'post_title' => $coupon_code,
'post_content' => '',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => 1,
'post_type' => 'shop_coupon'
);
$new_coupon_id = wp_insert_post( $coupon );
// Add meta
update_post_meta( $new_coupon_id, 'discount_type', $discount_type );
update_post_meta( $new_coupon_id, 'coupon_amount', $amount );
update_post_meta( $new_coupon_id, 'individual_use', 'no' );
update_post_meta( $new_coupon_id, 'product_ids', '' );
update_post_meta( $new_coupon_id, 'exclude_product_ids', '' );
update_post_meta( $new_coupon_id, 'usage_limit', '' );
update_post_meta( $new_coupon_id, 'expiry_date', '' );
update_post_meta( $new_coupon_id, 'apply_before_tax', 'yes' );
update_post_meta( $new_coupon_id, 'free_shipping', 'no' );
}
