In this article, we’ll show you the easiest way to make a form for managing and distributing single-use coupons with WPForms.

### Why Use One Time Use Coupons On Your WordPress Site?

One time use coupons that can only be used once create a convincing reason for customers to choose your brand over the competition and offer several advantages, such as:

- **Increases Order Value:** Coupons frequently encourage customers to add more items to their carts. With a discount at hand, they’re more likely to opt for higher-priced products, boosting your business’s sales.
- **Attracts New Customers**: A timely discount can help tip the scales in your favor for customers who are interested in your products but hesitant to make a purchase, hence attracting new customers.
- **Tailored Marketing:** One time use coupons help create a highly focused marketing approach. You can target specific consumer segments by aligning coupons with demographics, behaviors, and preferences.
- **Creates Urgency:** Personalized coupons inherently convey urgency. Customers must act fast to avail of their special deal, encouraging prompt purchases, thanks to their exclusivity appeal.
- **Boosts Repeat Business:** One time use coupons are incentives to bring customers back to your site. They offer an attractive proposition for making another transaction from your site!

Now that you’re familiar with the numerous benefits of one time use coupons, let’s dive into the steps of creating one for your online business!

## How to Create One Time Use Coupons in WordPress

To create single-use coupons in WordPress, you can rely on the simplicity and functionality of WPForms. Follow the steps below to get started:

### 1. Installing and Activating WPForms

WPForms is an advanced form builder plugin that lets you create payment forms with coupons to maximize the potential of your online business.

Use the Pro version to unlock the ready-made payment form template and access the Coupons addon for managing and distributing coupons.

![The WPForms homepage](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/WPForms-1500-Templates.png)

Once you’ve decided to buy a WPForms Pro license to build a single use coupon form, it’s time to [install and activate the plugin on your WordPress site](http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/step-by-step-guide-to-install-a-wordpress-plugin-for-beginners/).

Now, let’s choose a template!

### 2. Utilizing the Payment Form Template

Let’s get started on creating your payment form with a one time use coupon! From your dashboard, go to **WPForms** and click the **Add New** button.

![Add a new form ](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/adding-new-form.png "Add a New Form ")

Name your form, then find the [Stripe Payment Form template](https://wpforms.com/templates/stripe-payment-form-template/) via the search box. Once it shows up, click on the **Use Template** button.

![Select the Stripe Payment Form template](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Select-the-Stripe-Payment-Form-template.png "Select the Stripe Payment Form Template")

If you haven’t created a payment form in the past with WPForms, a popup should now appear, telling you to **Enable Stripe Payments**.

![Enable Stripe Payments popup messsage](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Enable-Stripe-Payments-popup-messsage.png)

You’ll need to [connect WPForms with Stripe](https://wpforms.com/how-to-accept-credit-card-payments-online-for-free/) and configure your payment settings to accomplish this.

![Connect with Stripe - WPForms](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/connect-with-stripe.png "Connect With Stripe - WPForms")

Once you finish the payment integration and your template loads successfully, you can customize the form by adding fields and changing their settings.

Since this form contains all the required fields we need for now, we’ll leave it as it is. In the next step, we’ll install the Coupons addon.

### 3. Installing and Activating the Coupons Addon

Installing the Coupons addon is incredibly easy. From your WordPress dashboard, navigate to **WPForms** and click on **Addons**.

![WPForms addons screen](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/wpforms-addons-screen.png "WPForms Addons Screen")

In the **Seach Addons** field, type in Coupons addon. Next, click on the **Install Addon** and then the **Activate** button.

Great job! You’re all set now to create your one time-use coupon from the WPForms **Payments** dashboard.

### 4. Creating a New Coupon for Single Use

From your WordPress dashboard, navigate to **WPForms** » **Payments**. Next, click on the **Coupons** tab.

![Payments dashboard coupon tab - WPForms](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Payments-dashboard-coupon-tab-WPForms.png)

Creating your coupon now is very simple. Simply click on the **+ Add Coupon** button to proceed ahead.

![Add coupon option - WPForms](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Add-coupon-option-WPForms.png "Add Coupon Option - WPForms")

Next, give your coupon a name, and enter the unique **Code** you’ll want customers to enter to receive a discount on your online store.

![Adding new coupon - WPForms](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Adding-new-coupon-WPForms.png "Adding New Coupon - WPForms")

Next, enter the **Amount** as a percentage discount (%) or a fixed amount ($).

You can also specify the coupon’s **Start Date / Time** and **End Date / Time** (if required).

![Enter discount amount for coupon](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Enter-coupon-discount-amount.png)

Next, enter the **Max Uses** you’ll want the coupon to be used. Since this guide is about a single-use coupon, we’ll set the coupon usage as **1**.

![Specify max uses for the coupon](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Specify-max-uses-for-the-coupon.png)

After that, all you have to do is select the payment form you created earlier and hit the **Update** **Coupon** button!

![Select form and update coupon](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Select-form-and-update-coupon.png)

Great! Now, it’s time to add the coupon field to your form.

### 5. Adding the Coupon Field to Your Form

From the **Form Builder** interface, navigate to the **Payment Fields** section.

After that, drag and drop the **Coupon** field into your form before the checkout.

![Add coupon field to your form](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Add-coupon-field-to-your-form.png "Add Coupon Field To Your Form")

Next, under the **Allowed Coupons** heading, select the One Time Use Coupon you created earlier.

![Select your coupon from the drop down](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Select-your-coupon-from-the-drop-down-e1686922693658.png "Select Your Coupon From The Dropdown")

If you want, you could also add a [coupon disclaimer](https://wpforms.com/how-to-write-coupon-disclaimers-example-wording/) to your form, stating that the coupon can also be used once.

Excellent. We’re close to wrapping this up now!

### 6. Enabling Form Notifications and Confirmations

It is crucial to set up the messages and notifications to appear after a user submits the form and enters their coupon code.

This is easy to do. From the Form Builder screen, navigate to the **Settings** tab and select **Notifications**.

![Form notifications](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/form-notifications-setting.png "Form Notifications")

Administrators will receive alerts automatically. However, the email’s title, body, and list of recipients can be modified if required.

![Configure email notifications for one time use coupon form](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Configure-email-notifications-for-one-time-use-coupon-form.png "Configure Email Notifications ")

Next, under the **Settings** tab, select **Confirmations** to modify the message your customers will receive upon completing the form.

![Form confirmation](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/wpforms-confirmations.png "Form Confirmation")

The **Confirmation Type** setting in WPForms allows you to display a message, link to another page, or redirect the user.

![Configure confirmations for stripe payment form](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Configure-confirmations-for-stripe-payment-form.png "Configure Confirmations For Stripe Payment Form")

Before moving on, hit the **Save** button to avoid losing any changes.

![Save the form](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Save-the-Form.png "Save the Form")

We’re almost finished now!

### 7. Publishing Your One Time Use Coupon Form

Once you’ve finished creating your form, you can add it to your WordPress site and customize it using the block editor.

Create a new page/post or update an existing one. After that, click on the **Add** **Block** button and select the **WPForms** icon.

![Add form widget WPForms](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Add-Form-Widget-WPForms.png "Add Form Widget WPForms")

Next, choose your coupon order form from the dropdown menu in the WPForms block to add it to your page or post.

If you want to customize the appearance of your form, now may be a good time to [style it using the block editor](https://wpforms.com/how-to-style-wpforms-using-the-block-editor/).

![Selecting your one time use coupon form](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Selecting-your-one-time-use-coupon-form.png "Selecting Your One Time Use Coupon Form")

If everything seems promising, you can make your form public by clicking the **Update** or Publish button.

After you’ve published the form, all that’s left to do is ensure it works as planned by [testing the embedded form](https://wpforms.com/form-testing-checklist/).

You can also configure your form to [automatically apply the coupon code ](https://wpforms.com/how-to-automatically-apply-a-coupon-on-your-payment-forms/)when a link to this form is clicked.

### 8. Tracking Form Entries and Coupon Usage

Wondering [what happens to your WPForms data](https://wpforms.com/where-does-wpforms-data-go/) once a user fills out the form? WPForms Lite and Pro customers can utilize the Payments Screen to keep track of payments and coupon usage in an organized fashion.

Head to **WPForms » Payments** and click on the **Coupons** tab to view your coupon summary for transactions made via WPForms.

![WPForms coupons summary](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/WPForms-coupons-summary.png)

Going further down, you’ll find a comprehensive table listing every transaction completed using your coupon form.

You may also click on any individual transaction to open up the details pertaining to that particular entry.
