Reward your best customers with targeted coupons

WooCommerceIntermediate~15 min

Before you start

WooCommerce enabled, with the customer and coupon abilities turned on. The coupon write ability stays off until you switch it on.

Your best customers are the ones worth a thank-you, and they are already sitting in your order history. The trouble is pulling the list by hand: sorting customers by spend, checking what actually sells, then building a coupon for each without fat-fingering the discount. This hands the digging to the agent and keeps the sending, and the deciding, with you.

The prompt
I want to reward my top customers with a coupon. First, change nothing: pull
my customers sorted by total spent, show me the top [15] with their order
count and lifetime spend, and pull the best-selling products for the [last
90 days] so the reward matches what they buy.
Then propose a coupon plan as a table: a code for each customer or one shared
code, the discount ([15%] off), a usage limit of [1] per customer, and an
expiry [30 days] out. Change nothing yet, just show me the plan.
Once I approve it, create the coupons in small batches and show me each batch
as it saves. At the end, give me the final list of codes in plain text so I
can send them out myself.

Why this is safe to run

The whole first half is reads. Listing customers and pulling the top-sellers report writes nothing, so you see the full coupon plan as a table before a single code exists. Nothing is created until you say the plan is right.

The write half only creates coupons, and only in batches you watch go by. It never touches an order, a customer record, or a product, and it cannot email anyone, so the codes land in your hands and the sending stays yours. If a coupon comes out wrong, a coupon is the easy write to undo: disable or delete it in WooCommerce and it is gone. Every create is checked against the capability of the user you bound the agent to, and every one lands in the Activity Log with the code it made.

Already connected? You do not have to paste this at all. Ask your agent for the “reward your best customers with targeted coupons” recipe, or just describe who you want to thank, and it runs the same reads-first flow on your own store.

How it works

  1. List your customers by total spent and order count to find the top tier.
  2. Read the best-selling products so the reward lands on something they buy.
  3. Propose a coupon plan (code, discount, limits, who it targets) and wait for your approval.
  4. Create the approved coupons in small batches, pausing to show each batch.
  5. Hand back the finished codes so you can send them to customers yourself.

Questions

Does the agent email the coupons to my customers?
No. It cannot send email. It creates the coupons and hands you the codes, and you send them however you already reach customers.
What if I create a coupon I did not mean to?
A coupon is reversible. You can disable or delete it in WooCommerce, so a mistake here costs nothing but a minute. Refunds and deletes are the risky writes, not this one.
