Source: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/woocommerce/create_coupon

Docs sections: [Get started](https://cotlet.dev/docs.md) · [REST API](https://cotlet.dev/docs/api.md) · [MCP](https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp.md) · [SDKs & CLI](https://cotlet.dev/docs/sdks.md) · [Integrations](https://cotlet.dev/docs/integrations.md)

Create a coupon with a discount type, amount, expiry date, usage limits and allowed emails.

WooCommerce MCP tools: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/woocommerce.md

MCP tool: `woocommerce_write → create_coupon`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Creates one coupon. The code is required and not case-sensitive. discount_type is percent, fixed_cart or fixed_product, the default is fixed_cart, and amount is a number given as a string, also for percentages. Add date_expires, usage limits, a minimum or maximum spend, and email_restrictions to tie the code to customers. A coupon gives money off at checkout, so it is treated as reaching your customers. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `code` | string | yes | Coupon code. Not case-sensitive. |
| `amount` | string | yes | Discount as a number, for example "15", also for percentages. |
| `discount_type` | enum | no | percent, fixed_cart or fixed_product. Default: fixed_cart. |
| `date_expires` | date | no | Last day the coupon works, YYYY-MM-DD. |
| `usage_limit` | integer | no | Total uses across all customers. |
| `usage_limit_per_user` | integer | no | Uses allowed per customer. |
| `minimum_amount` | string | no | Minimum spend for the coupon to apply. |
| `free_shipping` | boolean | no | true makes the coupon work with free shipping. Default: false. |
| `email_restrictions` | array | no | Billing emails allowed to use the coupon; wildcards such as *@gmail.com work. |

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
