Product Description
You know how clients always want those fancy ‘buy one get one free’ or ‘spend X get a free gift’ promotions? WooCommerce doesn’t do that natively, and the official plugins can cost a bomb. That’s where WooCommerce Free Gift Coupons comes in, and getting it via GPL Guru means you skip the hefty original license fee. Seriously, why pay $79+ for a single site when you can grab this essential tool here for a tiny fraction?
So, what’s the deal with GPL? It’s simple: this plugin is released under the General Public License. That means once it’s legitimately purchased by us, it can be redistributed. We legally acquire the original, and then we share it with you. You get the full, original code, untouched. The only ‘trade-off’ – and for most developers, it’s not really a dealbreaker – is that you won’t get direct support from the original developer or automatic updates through your WordPress dashboard. But honestly, for a stable, well-built plugin like this, I’ve found manual updates are super easy, and any issues you’d usually debug yourself anyway.
This is where the magic happens for agencies and freelancers. Need it for 5 client sites? 10? 50? No problem. One purchase from GPL Guru, and you’re set for unlimited installations. Imagine the savings compared to buying separate licenses every single time. It’s truly a game-changer for your project budget.

Use Cases
This plugin is an absolute powerhouse for any WooCommerce store looking to run effective promotions. I’ve personally used it for:
- Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sales: Offering a free accessory (like a phone case) with the purchase of a main product (like a phone).
- Clearance Campaigns: Running a “Buy any 3 items from the clearance section, get a fourth free!” to move inventory quickly.
- Customer Loyalty Programs: Setting up exclusive offers like “Spend $100 this month, get a free gift on your next order.”
- Product Launches: Giving away a free complementary item (e.g., a matching case) to early birds who pre-order a new product.
- General Marketing & Upsells: Simple, ongoing offers like “Buy any T-shirt, get a free pair of socks!” to gently nudge customers to add more to their cart.
Technical Requirements
Nothing out of the ordinary here. If your WooCommerce store is already running smoothly, you’re good to go:
- WordPress 5.0 or higher
- WooCommerce 4.0 or higher
- PHP 7.4 or higher
- MySQL 5.6 or higher
Installation is straightforward, just like any other plugin. Upload the ZIP file via your WordPress dashboard (Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin), activate it, and you’ll find the settings under WooCommerce > Coupons or a new dedicated menu item. It’s pretty intuitive, honestly, and the documentation for the original plugin is usually easy to find online if you ever get stuck.
Discount/Pricing: The Ultimate Deal
Forget hunting for coupon codes that expire or only give you a measly 10% off. GPL pricing *is* the discount. You’re getting the full, premium plugin for a fraction of what the original developer charges. This isn’t a limited-time offer; it’s the core advantage of how GPL works. You pay once, and you own the software for unlimited use on your projects.
And speaking of ultimate deals, if you’re serious about building sites or managing multiple clients, do yourself a favor and check out the GPL Guru lifetime membership. For just $99, you get access to literally thousands of premium themes and plugins – including this one, and many, many more. It’s a no-brainer investment that pays for itself after just one or two plugin downloads compared to buying individual licenses. Seriously, once you go GPL Guru membership, you won’t look back; your wallet will thank you.
