Why Exclude Products category From Coupons?

Apply Coupon is a common marketing strategy used by many WooCommerce stores to boost their sales. Finding the right harmony between more sales and profits per sale isn’t always easy. Probably the most ideal way to do that is to keep up with specific items discount-free.  For example, you may not want to apply a discount to a bundled products that already has a discount applied to it. Similarly, you may end up losing money if customers use a discount on products that already have thin margins.

How to exclude a WooCommerce product category from all Coupons?

1. With the default WooCommerce options
2. By custom coding, just like custom plugin

1) Exclude WooCommerce Product Category From Coupons using Default WooCommerce Options

This is the default option. To apply this option you need to go any coupon edit option > uses restriction > exclude categories .
