LearnDash coupons are a way for you to easily offer promotions and discounts to your users before they purchase your courses.

With LearnDash coupons, you can create coupons for your users. You can even set an expiry date and usage limits to your coupons to have them work to your liking.

NOTE
LearnDash Coupons work with the new Registration Flow in LD 4.0. You must have the registration option enabled and the registration pages set in order to use the coupons for new users.
Check out our guide to the new Registration Flow here.

NOTE
LearnDash coupons only support courses or groups that are set to “Buy Now” Course or Group Access setting for now. They do not work for “Recurring” courses or groups. If you want to learn more about Course Access settings, you can check the documentation here.
