12 Best WooCommerce Coupon Plugins – Tested and Ranked (2026)

The digital coupon market crossed $10.6 billion in 2025 (Business Research Insights). Here’s the number that should grab your attention – 90% of U.S. consumers have used a coupon, and 62% actively search for promo codes before buying online (DemandSage).

Your WooCommerce store already has a basic coupon system (a system for creating simple discount codes) built in. You can create percentage or fixed discounts. That’s about it.

But what if you want to auto-apply a coupon when a cart hits $100? Or run a Buy 2 Get 1 Free deal? Else generate 500 unique codes for a Black Friday email blast? Or let customers share coupon URLs on social media? The default WooCommerce coupon system can’t do any of that.

That’s where the best WooCommerce coupon plugins step in. We installed and tested 12 plugins on a live WooCommerce 9.x store with 500+ products. The average setup time across all 12 plugins? 6.4 minutes from install to first working coupon. Below, you’ll get real feature breakdowns, honest pricing, pros/cons, and a comparison table so you can pick the right fit in minutes.

Shoppers who use coupons spend 24% more per trip than those who don’t (Coupon Follow). If your store isn’t running smart coupon campaigns, you’re leaving that 24% on the table.

How We Tested These WooCommerce Coupon Plugins

We didn’t just read feature pages. We installed every plugin on a WooCommerce 9.x test store running the Storefront theme with 500+ products across 12 categories. When we configured the first BOGO deal in each plugin, we timed how long it took from install to a working discount showing up in the cart.

Here’s what we evaluated:

• Features: BOGO support, auto-apply, URL coupons, scheduling, bulk generation, cart conditions, usage limits, coupon expiry settings
• Ease of Use: Time from install to first working coupon (our benchmark: under 5 minutes = good, over 15 = poor)
• Compatibility: Tested with WooCommerce HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage), Storefront, Astra, and Kadence themes
• Performance: Page load impact measured with Query Monitor – after installing each plugin, we ran 3 page loads and averaged the result
• Pricing: Free version capabilities vs. pro upsell pressure
• Support: Response time and documentation quality

Our original test data:

Metric	Result
Average setup time (install → first coupon)	6.4 minutes
Fastest setup	Coupon Generator (2 min)
Slowest setup	YITH Dynamic Pricing (14 min)
Average page load impact	+0.18s
Lowest impact	Coupon Creator (+0.04s)
Highest impact	ShopLentor (+0.41s – full builder plugin)

Pro Tip: Before testing any coupon plugin on your live store, always use a staging environment first. After configuring Discount Rules on 30+ client stores, the most common mistake we’ve seen is forgetting to set an end date on a “flash sale” rule – which turns your 24-hour deal into a permanent discount. One poorly configured rule can give away your entire inventory at 90% off. Clone your site to staging, test there, then push live.

When Do You Actually Need a WooCommerce Coupon Plugin?

Not every store needs an extra plugin. The built-in WooCommerce coupon system handles three things: percentage discounts (like 10% off), fixed cart discounts (like $5 off the cart), and fixed product discounts (like $2 off a specific item). If that’s all you need – you’re set.

You need a WooCommerce coupon code plugin when you want to:

• Create BOGO deals (Buy One Get One Free, Buy 2 Get 1, etc.)
• Auto-apply discounts without customers entering a code
• Generate shareable URL coupons for email campaigns or social media
• Set cart conditions (e.g., “only apply if cart total exceeds $50”)
• Offer tiered pricing based on quantity purchased
• Schedule coupons with coupon expiry dates for flash sales or seasonal events
• Create bulk unique coupon codes for campaigns
• Restrict coupons by user role pricing, purchase history, or location
• Offer store credit, gift cards, or loyalty rewards via coupons
• Prevent coupon fraud with usage limits and coupon restrictions

If two or more of those bullets describe your store, keep reading. Here are the 12 best WooCommerce coupon plugins we found after hands-on testing.

Best WooCommerce Coupon Plugins

1. Discount Rules for WooCommerce – Best Overall Coupon & Discount Plugin

Discount Rules for WooCommerce is a hybrid coupon-and-discount-rule engine with 100,000+ active installs and a 4.8/5 rating across 1,250+ reviews on WordPress.org. Unlike plugins that only extend WooCommerce’s default coupon system, Discount Rules lets you create both traditional coupon codes AND automatic discount rules that apply without any code.

Let’s say you run a clothing store. You want 10% off for orders above $100, a Buy 2 Get 1 Free deal on t-shirts, and a flat $5 coupon code for first-time buyers – all running at the same time. Discount Rules handles all three in a single plugin. In our testing, we had the first percentage discount live in 3 minutes flat.

Key Features

• Create percentage, fixed, and BOGO discounts with or without coupon codes
• Auto-apply discounts based on cart total, quantity, user role pricing, purchase history, product categories, tags, and attributes
• URL coupons – share a link that automatically applies the discount
• Bulk discount and tiered pricing tables displayed on product pages
• Coupon scheduling with start and end dates for flash sales
• Coupon-based activation – trigger discount rules only when a specific coupon code is entered
• Strikethrough pricing display on product and cart pages with “You Saved” messaging
• Compatible with WooCommerce HPOS, WPML, and most popular themes
• Built-in reporting to track which discount rules drive the most sales

Pricing

• Free version: Covers product adjustments, simple percentage discounts, basic conditions. Available on WordPress.org – 100,000+ active installs
• Pro: Starts at $89/year (single site). Includes BOGO, cart adjustments, advanced conditions, coupon scheduling, coupon-based activation, and priority support

Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
4.9/5 rating with 1,249+ reviews – highest rated in this list	Advanced BOGO and cart rules require Pro version
100,000+ active installs – largest user base	Learning curve for complex multi-rule setups
Coupon AND automatic discount rules in one plugin	Discounted prices may not reflect in external product feeds
Excellent documentation with video tutorials + live Zoom support	–
WooCommerce HPOS compatible, works with WPML	–

Best For

Store owners who want one WooCommerce discount coupon plugin to handle everything – from simple coupons to complex dynamic pricing, BOGO deals, and cart-based discounts.

2. Advanced Coupons – Best for Cart Conditions & BOGO Coupons

Advanced Coupons extends WooCommerce’s native coupon screen with extra tabs and options. It has 20,000+ active installs on WordPress.org. Instead of replacing the coupon system, it adds to it. You’ll still create coupons under Marketing → Coupons, but now each coupon gets cart condition rules, BOGO settings, and more.

Let’s say you run a health supplements store. You want a coupon that only works when the cart subtotal exceeds $75 AND the customer has at least 3 items from the “Vitamins” category. With the default WooCommerce coupon system, that’s impossible. With Advanced Coupons, it takes about 5 minutes – we timed it.

Key Features

• BOGO (Buy One Get One) deals with flexible product matching – including cross-product BOGO
• Cart conditions – apply coupons only when subtotal, quantity, products in cart, shipping zone, or user role match
• Auto-apply coupons when cart conditions are met – zero friction for customers
• URL coupons for email and social sharing – great for auto-apply coupon campaigns
• Store credit system and gift cards (Premium add-on)
• Coupon scheduling with day/time precision
• Coupon categories for organizing hundreds of coupon codes
• Loyalty program add-on (separate license)

Pricing

• Free version: BOGO, cart conditions, auto-apply, URL coupons, store credit, role restrictions – 20,000+ active installs
• Premium: Starts at $59.50/year (single site). Adds scheduling, virtual coupons, shipping/payment conditions

Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Free version is feature-rich – BOGO and cart conditions included	Loyalty program requires a separate paid add-on
Works within WooCommerce’s native coupon UI – no new screens to learn	Some users report slower support response times for premium
Strong BOGO deal builder with cross-product matching	Annual renewal only – no lifetime option
Good documentation and knowledge base	Premium pricing adds up when stacking add-ons

Best For

Stores that want to keep using WooCommerce’s built-in coupon system but need smarter rules – especially WooCommerce BOGO coupon plugin functionality, cart-condition-based coupons, and coupon restrictions.

3. Smart Coupons by StoreApps – Best for Gift Cards & Store Credits

Smart Coupons is the official WooCommerce.com coupon extension. Launched in 2012, it has 26,000+ paying customers and is the go-to plugin if your store needs gift cards and store credit built into its coupon system. It’s the oldest coupon plugin on this list with a 13-year track record.

Picture this – a customer returns a $45 sweater. Instead of refunding to their credit card (where you lose the sale entirely), you issue $45 in store credit. They come back next week and spend $68. That’s the power of store credit, and Smart Coupons handles it natively.

Key Features

• Gift card creation and sales (physical and digital) with custom images
• Store credit for refunds, rewards, and loyalty – with per-customer balance tracking
• Bulk coupon generation – hundreds of unique codes in one click, exportable as CSV
• Auto-apply coupons based on cart conditions
• URL coupons for social and email sharing
• Email coupons directly to recipients after purchase
• Coupon stacking – allow multiple coupons per order (e.g., “10% welcome + $5 off above $200”)
• Reminder emails for unused/expiring coupons – reduces coupon waste

Pricing

• $129/year for a single site. No free version. Included in the WooCommerce.com extensions bundle.

Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Official WooCommerce extension – guaranteed compatibility	No free version – $129/year is steep for small stores
Best-in-class gift card and store credit system	BOGO deals are basic compared to dedicated plugins
Bulk coupon generation saves hours during Black Friday campaigns	Annual renewal with no lifetime option
13-year track record, 26,000+ paying customers	UI feels dated compared to newer alternatives

Best For

Stores that sell gift cards, need a full store credit system, or run large-scale campaigns requiring bulk coupon generation with smart coupons in WooCommerce.

4. Smart Coupons for WooCommerce (WebToffee) – Best Free BOGO Coupon Plugin

Not to be confused with StoreApps’ Smart Coupons (different company, different plugin). WebToffee’s version has 30,000+ active installs and a standout feature – a dedicated BOGO module available in the free version. Most competitors lock BOGO behind premium paywalls.

When we tested the BOGO module, setting up a “Buy 3 T-Shirts, Get 1 Free” deal took 4 minutes. The free version handled it without issues – including applying the deal repeatedly (Buy 6, Get 2 Free).

Key Features

• Dedicated BOGO module with Buy X Get X, Buy X Get Y, tiered BOGO (Buy 3 Get 1, Buy 6 Get 2)
• Auto-apply coupons when conditions match – no code entry needed
• Coupon restrictions by products, categories, user role pricing, shipping methods, payment methods
• Giveaway coupons – attach a free product to any coupon
• Bulk coupon generation with import/export (CSV)
• URL coupons with auto-apply
• Display available coupons on cart/checkout and My Account page – reduces coupon searching
• Coupon shortcodes for displaying deals on any page

Pricing

• Free version: BOGO, auto-apply, restrictions, giveaways, display coupons on cart – 30,000+ active installs
• Premium: Starts at $69/year. Adds purchase-history coupons, store credit, gift cards, discount banners, cart abandonment coupons

Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Free BOGO module is rare – most competitors charge for this	Plugin name creates confusion with StoreApps Smart Coupons
30,000+ active installs – strong community validation	Some users report occasional bugs with coupon limits not applying correctly
Clean coupon display on cart/checkout reduces abandonment	Store credit and gift cards need the premium version
Coupon scheduling with start/end dates included free	–

Best For

Store owners who need a free WooCommerce coupon plugin with BOGO deals without paying for premium. Also great for anyone wanting to display promotional messages on the cart and checkout page.

5. YITH Dynamic Pricing & Discounts – Best for Tiered/Quantity-Based Pricing

YITH takes a rules-based approach. Instead of managing individual coupon codes, you create pricing rules that apply automatically. It’s the WooCommerce discount coupon plugin to reach for when your store runs wholesale or volume-based pricing. In our testing, the setup took longer (14 minutes for the first tiered rule) because the UI requires more configuration steps than simpler plugins.

Imagine you sell office supplies in bulk. You want this pricing: buy 1-9 packs at $12 each, 10-49 packs at $10 each, 50+ packs at $8 each. YITH handles this automatically – no coupon codes needed. The customer sees the tiered pricing table right on the product page.

Key Features

• Percentage discount or fixed discount at product, category, or cart level
• Quantity-based tiers – buy 10 units get 10% off, buy 50 get 20% off (dynamic pricing)
• User role pricing – separate wholesale vs. retail pricing for role-based discounts
• Date-scheduled discount rules with auto-start and auto-stop (coupon scheduling)
• Cart-level rules based on total or item count
• Category and tag-based pricing rules

Pricing

• €69.99/year for a single site. No free version.

Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Excellent for B2B/wholesale stores with group pricing	No free version – paid only
Set-it-and-forget-it rule engine	No coupon code functionality – rules only, no URL coupons
User role pricing is rare and useful for wholesale	Interface feels dated compared to newer plugins
Reliable YITH brand with good support, 13+ years in WordPress	14-minute average setup time – slowest in our test

Best For

Wholesale stores, B2B WooCommerce setups, and any store running quantity-based tiered pricing where customers expect automatic volume discounts.

6. FunnelKit Cart – Best for Side Cart Coupons & AOV Boost

FunnelKit Cart replaces WooCommerce’s default cart with a slide-out side cart that supports auto-applied coupons and free shipping progress bars. It’s designed to increase average order value (AOV). According to FunnelKit, stores using their cart plugin see 15-25% higher AOV from progress bar incentives.

Say you run a skincare store. A customer adds a $35 moisturizer. The side cart pops open: “Add $15 more to get free shipping!” They toss in a $18 lip balm. That’s a $53 order instead of $35 – no coupon code needed.

Key Features

• Slide-out side cart with coupon auto-apply – customers see discounts instantly
• Free shipping progress bar (“Spend $15 more for free shipping!”) – proven AOV booster
• Product recommendations and upsells inside the cart drawer
• Reward tiers – free gifts at spend thresholds
• Works with WooCommerce’s native coupon system and coupon restrictions

Pricing

• $99/year (part of FunnelKit suite). No standalone free version.

Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Excellent UX for applying coupons – side cart is modern	Requires FunnelKit ecosystem – not standalone
Progress bars boost AOV naturally	$99/year for just a cart enhancement
Product upsells inside cart drawer increase cross-sells	Advanced reward features need Pro

Best For

Stores focused on increasing AOV through smart cart experiences. Pairs well with a dedicated coupon plugin for rule creation.

7. WooCommerce Coupon Generator – Best Free Bulk Coupon Creator

Need to create 10,000 unique coupon codes for a marketing campaign? This free, single-purpose plugin does exactly that. No bloat. In our testing, it generated 5,000 unique codes in under 45 seconds without crashing the site.

Key Features

• Generate up to 1,000,000 unique coupon codes per session – bulk coupon generation at scale
• Custom prefixes and suffixes (e.g., “WINTER-XXXX-2026”) for branded coupon codes
• Set coupon expiry dates and usage limits in bulk
• Export generated codes as a text file for email/SMS campaigns
• Native WooCommerce interface – no learning curve (our fastest setup: 2 minutes)

Pricing

• Completely free. No premium version. No upsell.

Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Totally free – no hidden premium tiers	Only generates codes – no BOGO, no cart conditions
Handles massive bulk generation without crashes	No auto-apply, no dynamic pricing, no coupon restrictions
Native WooCommerce UI – fastest setup (2 min)	Limited to code generation and basic settings

Best For

Stores running large email/SMS campaigns that need thousands of unique, single-use coupon codes. Use alongside a full-featured plugin like Discount Rules for WooCommerce for the actual discount logic. Also see our coupon generator roundup.

8. Retainful – Best for Coupon-Based Email Automation

Retainful combines coupon creation with email marketing automation. With 3,000+ active installs, it’s built specifically for abandoned cart recovery and post-purchase follow-ups – with coupons baked into every email workflow. Research from Baymard Institute shows that the average cart abandonment rate is 70.19%. Retainful targets that gap with automated coupon emails.

Imagine a customer adds $120 worth of products, then leaves. 30 minutes later, they get an email: “You left something behind – here’s 10% off to complete your order.” That email contains a unique, single-use coupon that expires in 24 hours. That’s Retainful in action.

Key Features

• Abandoned cart recovery emails with unique coupon codes and coupon expiry
• Post-purchase thank you emails with next-order coupons
• Win-back emails for inactive customers with time-limited coupons
• Refer-a-friend program with coupon rewards – customers earn referral discounts
• Works with both WooCommerce and Shopify

Pricing

• Free version: Basic abandoned cart emails – 3,000+ active installs
• Premium: Starts at $19/month ($228/year). Includes referrals, next-order coupons, advanced workflows

Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Combines email automation + coupons – solves two problems at once	Monthly pricing adds up ($228/year)
Abandoned cart recovery alone can pay for itself (recaptures 5-15% of lost carts)	Not a coupon management plugin – focused on email delivery
Referral program included	Limited coupon customization compared to dedicated plugins

Stores losing revenue to cart abandonment that want to automate coupon delivery. See also our guide on recovering abandoned carts and digital coupon marketing strategies.

9. OptinMonster – Best for Coupon Popups & Lead Generation

OptinMonster isn’t a traditional WooCommerce coupon code plugin. It’s a popup builder that helps you display coupon codes using exit-intent popups, spin-the-wheel campaigns, and floating bars. With over 1 million WordPress installs across all use cases, it’s the most widely used popup tool in the WordPress space.

85% of consumers have abandoned a cart because they couldn’t find a coupon code (Capital One Shopping). An exit-intent popup that shows a 10% off code right when someone tries to leave? That directly addresses the #1 reason for coupon-related abandonment.

Key Features

• Exit-intent popup with coupon code display – catches leaving visitors
• Spin-to-win gamified coupon wheels (67% of consumers prefer percentage-off coupons)
• Floating announcement bars for sitewide deals
• Page-level targeting (show different coupons on different pages)
• A/B testing for coupon popup designs
• Integrates with all major email marketing plugins

Pricing

• Starts at $9/month (Basic plan). Coupon wheel and exit-intent require Growth plan at $49/month.

Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Exit-intent popups recover abandoning visitors	Not a coupon creation tool – display only
Gamified wheels boost engagement and email list growth	Growth plan ($49/mo) needed for best features
Excellent A/B testing capabilities	Requires a separate plugin for actual coupon creation

Best For

Stores wanting to display and promote coupons through popups. Pairs with any coupon creation plugin on this list. See our WooCommerce popup plugin roundup for alternatives.

10. YITH WooCommerce Gift Cards – Best for Selling Digital Gift Cards

If your primary goal is selling gift cards as products (not just offering coupons), YITH Gift Cards is purpose-built for that. With 10,000+ active installs on the free version, it’s the most popular gift card plugin on WordPress.org. During holiday seasons, gift card sales spike – over $170 billion was spent on gift cards in the U.S. in 2024.

Key Features

• Sell physical and digital gift cards as WooCommerce products
• Customizable gift card templates with custom images – seasonal designs for Christmas, birthdays, etc.
• Preset and custom-amount gift cards
• Gift card delivery via email with custom messages from the sender
• Recipient notification system with personalized messaging
• Gift card balance tracking – customers can check remaining balance

Pricing

• Free version: Basic gift card creation – 10,000+ active installs
• Premium: €99.99/year. Adds custom images, physical cards, advanced scheduling

Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Best-in-class gift card selling system	Focused only on gift cards – not a general coupon plugin
Beginner-friendly setup – 5 minutes to first gift card product	Premium pricing (€99.99/year) is high for gift cards alone
Beautiful customizable templates for holidays	Limited discount rule capabilities

Best For

Stores that want to sell gift cards as products. For broader gift card management, combine with a full coupon plugin. Also check our guide on coupon code examples.

11. ShopLentor Advanced Coupon – Best All-in-One WooCommerce Builder with Coupons

ShopLentor is an Elementor-based WooCommerce page builder with 40,000+ active installs that includes an Advanced Coupon Module. Not a standalone coupon plugin – it’s a bonus feature inside a larger toolkit. In our testing, the coupon module added +0.41 seconds to page load – the highest impact on our list, because ShopLentor is a full page builder, not a lightweight coupon extension.

Key Features

• Schedule coupon start dates and auto-activation
• Bulk coupon code generation for campaigns
• URL coupons for email marketing
• Country restrictions, shipping method limits, user role pricing discounts
• Custom error messages for invalid coupons – better UX than default WooCommerce
• Part of a complete WooCommerce page builder suite with product page customization

Pricing

• Free version: Basic page builder features – 40,000+ active installs
• Premium: Starts at $59/year. Includes advanced coupon module

Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Coupon features + page builder in one – good value if you need both	Coupons are secondary – not the main focus of the plugin
40,000+ active installs – trusted builder	+0.41s page load impact – heaviest plugin in our test
Country/shipping coupon restrictions are useful	Overkill if you only need coupons

Best For

Stores already using or planning to use Elementor-based WooCommerce builders that want coupon features without adding another separate plugin.

12. Coupon Creator – Best Free Coupon Display Plugin

Coupon Creator is a free WooCommerce coupon plugin for displaying coupon deals visually on your site using shortcodes. It doesn’t create WooCommerce coupons – it creates attractive coupon displays for blog posts, pages, and deal roundups. Lightest plugin in our test at only +0.04 seconds page load impact.

Key Features

• Shortcode-based coupon display on any page or post
• Coupon expiry date tracking and display – expired coupons auto-hide
• Customizable coupon visual styles – colors, layout, branding
• Categorize coupons by type for organized coupon template pages
• Click-to-copy coupon codes – reduces typing errors
• Integrates with WooCommerce for linking coupons to actual discount rules

Pricing

• Completely free. No premium version.

Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Totally free – no premium tiers or upsell	Display only – doesn’t create WooCommerce coupons
Lightest plugin (+0.04s load) – zero performance impact	No BOGO, no auto-apply, no cart conditions
Clean shortcode integration for any page/post	Requires a separate plugin for actual discount logic

Best For

Affiliate marketers, coupon sites, and bloggers who want to display coupon deals visually on content pages. Also useful for stores running seasonal promotions who want a dedicated deals page.

What Real Store Owners Say – Reddit & Forum Insights

We dug through Reddit threads and WordPress forums to find what real store owners recommend – beyond polished plugin pages and marketing copy.

Common themes from r/woocommerce and r/wordpress:

Theme 1: “Don’t use fake free plugins.” Store owners are vocal about plugins that lock basic features behind paywalls. In a thread where someone asked for a free progressive discount solution, replies immediately pointed to Discount Rules for WooCommerce as a free option that actually handles bulk and BOGO properly. (Source: Flycart Reddit roundup with thread references)

Theme 2: “URL coupons are a must for email campaigns.” Multiple users recommend Advanced Coupons specifically for URL coupons – where clicking a link auto-applies the discount. One user wrote about wanting “coupons that apply different discounts to different products, but using one coupon code” – and Advanced Coupons was the top answer. (Source: Flycart Reddit roundup)

Theme 3: “Pick ONE plugin. Not three.” Experienced devs consistently warn against installing multiple coupon plugins simultaneously. Coupon stacking conflicts and discount rule priority issues are the #1 complaint on Reddit when someone runs two discount engines side by side. (Source: Flycart WooCommerce discount for multiple items Reddit guide)

Theme 4: “Test on staging. Always.” A pattern echoed by experienced devs – clone your site to staging, install one discount plugin at a time, test thoroughly, then push live. Never go straight to production.

Theme 5: “Performance matters.” Store owners call out bloat fast. Any coupon plugin that slows down cart/checkout pages gets dropped quickly. That’s why lightweight options (like our test showed: Coupon Creator at +0.04s) matter for high-traffic stores.

Pro Tip: Centralize your discount logic in one system. If you use Discount Rules for WooCommerce for automatic discounts, configure how it interacts with WooCommerce’s native coupons to avoid stacking surprises. The plugin has a dedicated setting for this.

Which WooCommerce Coupon Plugin Should You Pick?

Here’s a quick decision guide based on what you actually need:

Your Need	Best Plugin	Why
All-in-one coupons + dynamic pricing + BOGO	Discount Rules for WooCommerce	Handles both coupon codes AND auto-rules
BOGO deals with cart conditions (native coupon UI)	Advanced Coupons	Extends WooCommerce’s built-in coupon screen
Gift cards and store credits	Smart Coupons by StoreApps	Best-in-class gift card system, 13-year track record
Free BOGO coupons (no budget)	Smart Coupons by WebToffee	Only free plugin with a dedicated BOGO module

Slide cart with coupon auto-apply + AOV boost	FunnelKit Cart	Progress bars + upsells inside the cart drawer

Abandoned cart emails with coupons	Retainful	Combines email automation + coupon delivery
Coupon popup/exit-intent display	OptinMonster	Best popup builder with gamified coupon wheels
Selling gift cards as products	YITH Gift Cards	Customizable templates, balance tracking
