On the sidebar, go to WooCommerce > Coupons.
Here, you can edit an existing coupon, or click Add Coupon to create a new coupon code.
The title box, Coupon code, is the actual code used by customers to activate the coupon such as "FREEENTRY3" or "COMP100".
The Description (optional) is what the discount is for, and will show to the customer at the checkout such as "Congratulations, you have £10 off when you spend £100!"
On this page, there are 3 side tabs with variables you need to check to make sure your coupon is correct: General, Usage restrictions and Usage limits.
