Before You Install
This plugin requires:
- WordPress
- Contact Form 7
- A Contact Form 7 form that includes amount-related fields
This plugin does not process payments by itself. It prepares a validated final amount so your payment addon can use it.
Usage
1. Configure Field Names
Open CF7 Discounts > Settings and confirm the field names you want to use.
Default field names:
- Coupon field:
coupon_code - Quantity field:
qty - Original amount field:
amount - Final amount field:
final_amount - Discount amount field:
discount_amount - Discount message field:
discount_message
2. Create A Coupon
Open CF7 Discounts > Coupons and add a coupon with the settings you need, such as:
- Coupon code
- Fixed or percentage discount
- Active status
- Start date
- Expiry date
- Usage limit
- Minimum quantity
- Minimum total
3. Add The Fields To Your Contact Form 7 Form
Example form markup using the default field names:
[text coupon_code]
[number qty min:1 "1"]
[hidden amount "100"]
[hidden final_amount "100"]
[hidden discount_amount "0"]
[hidden discount_message ""]
[cf7_discount_apply "Apply Discount"]
[submit "Pay Now"]
If your form does not use quantity-based coupon rules, you can omit the quantity field.
4. Connect Your Payment Addon
If you use a payment addon, point it to the final amount field, not the original amount field.
The plugin recalculates the final amount on the server before Contact Form 7 completes submission, which helps prevent tampering.
