Vite Coupon Adds a Voucher System: What’s New in Version 2.0.0

Features of the Vite Coupon Voucher System

As a WooCommerce voucher plugin feature set, the additions in version 2.0.0 cover the full lifecycle of a voucher: creation, delivery, restriction, redemption across channels, and status tracking.

Based on the 2.0.0 changelog and the features added alongside it, the Vite Coupon voucher system includes the following:

1. Single-Use Voucher Code

Each voucher generated through the Vite Coupon voucher system is designed for one-time redemption. Once a customer uses the voucher code, the code is recorded as used and cannot be applied again by default. This is different from many coupon codes in the plugin, which can be reused unless a usage limit is set.

A single-use voucher code is useful for cases where a business wants to guarantee that a promotional code is redeemed only once — for example, a specific customer’s refund credit, a one-time referral reward, or a gift code sent to an individual.

This differs from how many WooCommerce coupon codes are set up. A typical WooCommerce coupon can be configured with a usage limit, but by default, many store owners leave coupons open for multiple uses across different customers, since coupons are often meant for general promotions. The single-use voucher code approach in the Vite Coupon voucher system assumes the opposite default: one code, one redemption, unless the store owner deliberately changes that behavior. This makes the voucher module a closer fit for cases where reuse of a code would be a problem — such as a refund voucher that should not be claimed twice.

2. Voucher via Email

The Vite Coupon voucher system supports sending vouchers via email. Instead of a store owner manually sharing a code, the plugin can deliver the voucher code directly to a customer’s email address. This is relevant for stores that issue individual vouchers rather than publishing a public discount code.

Voucher via email removes the manual step of copying and sending a code through a separate email client or messaging tool, since the delivery happens from within the plugin’s own workflow.

For a store that issues vouchers regularly — for example, as part of a customer support process or a referral program — this saves time compared to exporting a list of codes and pasting them into a separate email tool. It also keeps the record of who a voucher was sent to closer to the voucher’s entry in the plugin, rather than in a separate email thread that might not be easy to find later.

3. Expiry Date

Each voucher can have its own expiry date. Once the expiry date passes, the voucher code stops working, even if it has not been redeemed. This gives store owners control over how long a voucher offer stays valid, whether that is a few days for a flash promotion or several months for a longer-running voucher.

An expiry date on a voucher is separate from any expiry settings that may apply to the plugin’s coupon modules, since vouchers and coupons are managed in different sections of Vite Coupon.

Setting a voucher expiry date also interacts with the voucher’s status. If a voucher passes its expiry date while still unused, its status can reflect that it is no longer valid, which helps a store owner distinguish between vouchers that are simply unredeemed and vouchers that are unredeemed and expired. This distinction matters for reporting, since a large number of unused-but-expired vouchers may indicate that a promotion was not communicated clearly, while a large number of still-valid unused vouchers may just mean customers have not gotten around to redeeming them yet.

4. Minimum Order Restriction

Vouchers can be restricted to orders above a minimum order value. If a customer’s cart total does not reach the minimum order restriction, the voucher will not apply. This lets store owners set a voucher for a fixed discount or value while still protecting margins on smaller orders.

This restriction works the same way whether the voucher is redeemed through WooCommerce or through Vitepos, since both channels check the cart or order total against the same rule before allowing the voucher to be applied. A store that sets a minimum order restriction on a voucher does not need to configure the rule twice for online and in-store use.

5. Voucher Image Upload

The Vite Coupon voucher system allows a custom image to be uploaded for a voucher. This means a voucher is not limited to a plain text code — it can be presented with a designed image, useful for occasions such as gift vouchers, event promotions, or branded voucher templates that a business wants to send to customers.

Pairing the voucher image upload option with the voucher via email feature means a store can send a customer something closer to a designed gift card rather than a plain line of text with a code on it. For businesses that already produce seasonal graphics — for a holiday sale, an anniversary promotion, or a loyalty reward — this lets that same visual work double as the voucher itself, rather than needing a separate image sent alongside a plain code.

6. Support for Both Online (WooCommerce) and Vitepos

One of the more significant parts of the Vite Coupon voucher system is that it functions as a Vitepos voucher tool as much as a WooCommerce one — vouchers work across both channels the plugin already supports: WooCommerce (online store) and Vitepos (point of sale). A voucher created in the system can be redeemed either through the online checkout or at a physical point-of-sale terminal running Vitepos.

This follows the same integration pattern Vite Coupon already uses for its coupon modules, where a single code can apply in both WooCommerce and Vitepos. Extending that to vouchers means a business with both an online store and a physical location does not need two separate voucher systems.

For businesses without a physical location, this cross-channel support simply is not a factor, and the voucher system works the same way it would for any WooCommerce-only store. For businesses that do run both channels, this is the part of the voucher system most directly tied to daily operations, since staff at a physical counter need a way to check and apply a voucher without switching to a different tool than what they use for regular coupon codes.

7. Partially Used Voucher Status

The Vite Coupon voucher system includes a “partially_used” voucher status. This status applies when a voucher has been used but not fully consumed — for example, if a voucher holds a set value and only part of that value has been applied to an order so far. Rather than marking the voucher as either fully used or fully unused, the partially_used status reflects that some value or usage remains.

This status is one of several voucher states in the system, alongside “used” and “unused” (or their equivalents), which lets store owners see at a glance where each voucher stands.

8. Voucher Log

Every voucher action is recorded in a voucher log. This log tracks redemption activity, including which voucher codes were used, when they were used, and their current status. A voucher log gives a store owner a way to check voucher activity without needing to cross-reference orders manually.
