How to Offer Instant Cashback Coupons in WooCommerce

A cashback discount is a great reward to encourage repeat purchases. But most companies offer cashback after a minimum of 30 days.

The biggest drawback of this offer is customers won’t make a purchase again quickly as they wait for the discount.

And what if the customer forgets the cashback credited to their account? You need to remind them via email about it.

Also, there is no guarantee that customers will open the email and utilize the cashback. A delayed sale is equivalent to a lost sale.

So, if you send the cashback instantly with a time limit, the FOMO trigger will nudge the customer to make a purchase at the earliest.

Have a look at the simple steps to create a time-bound cashback coupon in WooCommerce.

Note – The cashback is sent to the customer as store credit.
