Overview #
The WooCommerce Coupon Code Generator plugin allows store owners to generate random coupon codes for their store users. You can use the following algorithms to generate these codes:
- Hash: crc32 (length 8)
- Hash: md5 (length 32)
- Hash: sha1 (length 40)
- Random letters and numbers (length 32)
- Random letters (length 32)
- Random numbers (length 32)
For any selected algorithm, you can set a particular coupon code length (less than the code’s actual length) to create codes that match your requirements.
