User - Event Manager#
The Flexible PDF Coupons - Event Ticket QR Scanner creates a new user role in the shop: Event Manager.
Go to Users → All Users → [Username] to set the user role for the people who handle the event sold in your shop.
The Event Manager role has permissions to:
- View WooCommerce coupons
- Scan QR codes
- Change the status of WooCommerce coupons
QR code on coupon template#
Go to PDF Coupons → Templates → [Template name] or Add new template.
In the column with the template tools (screenshot above), you will find the option to add a QR code to the coupon template. You may add it by clicking it, dragging and dropping it into the right place, and adjusting the size. Save changes.
QR code on the PDF#
To generate a PDF with a QR code, you will need to configure the product using the Flexible PDF Coupons PRO plugin settings. See how to do it →.
During setup, select the Coupon template containing the QR code (screenshot above).
The purchase of a product marked as PDF Coupon will create a WooCommerce coupon code, which will also be a QR code.
Use of QR codes - changing the coupon status#
You can mark a WooCommerce coupon as used in three ways:
Scanning a QR code#
To scan the code:
- Go to PDF Coupons → QR Scanner → Scan QR Code.
- Place the QR code in the camera frame.
The scanner will verify the QR code and display a verification message.
Manual code verification#
To verify the voucher code manually:
- Go to PDF Coupons → QR Scanner → Scan QR Code → Insert code manually.
- Enter the code number in the box.
The plugin will validate the coupon code and display a verification message.
Changing the status through a bulk action#
To manually change the status of a coupon code:
- Go to Marketing → Coupons.
- Select the coupons you want to mark as used. You can search for a coupon using the coupon search bar.
- Select Set coupon as used in bulk actions.
- Click Apply.
The plugin will validate the coupon code and display a verification message.
Coupon statuses available#
- Green arrow - the coupon has not been used even once, e.g., 0/1.
- Blue arrow - the coupon has been used at least once, but the usage limit has not been reached, e.g., 1/2.
- Red arrow - the coupon has been fully used, e.g., 1/1.
- Gray cross - the coupon is not a coupon with a QR code.
Validation#
When you hover over the red arrow, you will see whether the coupon was scanned, used as part of a bulk action, or manually entered into the scanner.
