Where coupons appear
On the shop page
Every shop page lists that shop's coupons automatically. Nothing to add.
Above or below your description — Settings → Coupons → Where coupons appear. The default is at the end of the post.
Below is right when your description is worth reading and helps the page rank. Above is right when visitors arrive wanting a code and the description is there for search engines rather than for them. On a coupon site, above is usually the better choice.
How many — Coupons shown on a shop page caps the list. Note that it also controls how many are imported, so it is not purely a display setting; see Importing coupons.
Shop pages also show coupon highlights near the top when the shop has coupons, and on a coupon site a Top offer box in place of the cashback box.
Anywhere else on your site
The [cashback-coupons] shortcode puts a coupon list wherever you want one — a home page, a seasonal landing page, a blog post about a sale.
[cashback-coupons]It can be narrowed to one shop, one category, or the newest across your whole site. See [cashback-coupons].
There is a block version for the editor — see Blocks — and a widget for sidebars, see Widgets.
A coupons page
A page listing your newest coupons across every shop is worth having. It gives you something to link to from a newsletter, and it is a natural landing page for people searching for discount codes generally rather than for one shop.
Create a page, add [cashback-coupons], and let it show the most recent across all shops.
What a coupon looks like
Each one shows its title, the shop it belongs to, its expiry date if it has one, its description if you have written one, and a button.
The button reveals the code, or goes straight to the shop for a deal. Either way it is a tracked link that earns you commission.
If a member is signed in, that link also carries their member tag, so anything they buy comes back as their cashback. A signed-out visitor gets the same link without the tag: you still earn, they simply have no cashback to claim.
Expiry and description can be hidden, and coupons can be put behind a sign-in — see Coupon display settings.
The order they come in
Coupons you added by hand come first. After those, the best-voted, then the newest.
The shortcode can override this with its sort attribute — see [cashback-coupons] — and an explicit sort is obeyed exactly, with nothing pinned above it.
Shops with no coupons
Nothing is rendered. A shop with no coupons has no empty list and no "no coupons found" message — the section simply is not there.
The Shop catalog's Coupons column shows the count per shop, and its Any coupons filter finds shops with none.
