@orange I think your website is one of the best I've seen so far.
Have you designed yourself or a design company? Which one?

Thank you for compliment. I am sure there are much better ones. Yes I designed it myself with using WordPress. I've also shared my tips for a WP web site here:

Is there an easy way / plugin for users to subscribe (fill out a form etc) and receive a unique coupon?

[Matt_SF]

@DanH do they have to be unique? For a new subscriber you could simply send a 'welcome[amount]' coupon...

[DanH]

@Matt_SF yes they do. Seems like Mailchimp can do it, though would prefer a free option!

@DanH
The Newsletter plugin can be used for automatic responder emails. I am not sure if the free version can handle this though.

I am using this (premium version) with Amazon SES and sending 100k emails cost only a couple of dollars :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I’m using sendy.co and Amazon SES. Works like a charm

[DanH]

@orange thanks, yes I have it too, was thinking of upgrading to the paid version at some point anyway so will see if it can hande unique coupons.

@hisefilo will check this too :)

For unique coupons? Actually I am not sure if this plugin can do that. You can use it for a static coupon code.

For unique, Maybe you can find a premium 3rd party plugin on the original Woocommerce website.

@orange yeah I didn't see anything before. This is the method I might use:

Basically I have a new website / domain and need existing users to set up new accounts there / register emails, receive a coupon that allows them to 'buy' their updated software for free (and receive a license key etc). I could do this by hand but it's a few hundred people :weary_face:

I don't think GDPR allows me to just take the emails from one website to another....

Other than DHPlugins, what is the new website? I am curious :)

[Matt_SF]

@DanH can't you import the BDD from the old website/domain to the new one ? you could retreive all the data you need (account, orders, etc...)

[DanH]

@Matt_SF what’s a BDD? And I’m assuming gdpr restricts moving data anywhere. It’s a different company essentially. I mean not really but a different brand.

[DanH]

@Fortune it’s currently DCBreaks.com. DHPlugins is the new site.

[Matt_SF]

@DanH ah sorry, French acronym here. I meant the database. You can export/import it to your new website with phpMyAdmin (or whichever database manager you're using)
No problem with gpdr, the data stays in your hands.

[DanH]

@Matt_SF yeah I guess that makes sense. I hope so anyway haha! So if I do that is there an easy way to email each user their own coupon?

I said no problem with gpdr : I guess, as long as your users are informed and have the possibility to delete their own data you should be fine

[Matt_SF]

@DanH if you manage to import all your user's data in your new website, they will be able to access their previous orders -assuming you also import your shop data.

Then if you want to do something like : "if you already have purchased this product > then the update is free", you can do that by adding a simple php function in your function.php file

[DanH]

@Matt_SF well the whole reason I built a new website is because we lacked the functionality for users to have proper accounts and their purchases in their accounts

https://woocommerce.com/products/follow-up-emails/

From their website: "Everybody loves a discount – that’s why Follow-Ups allows you to create coupons that are personalized for your customer, or subscriber, automatically generating/creating/saving/reporting on that coupon for you. Creating a new coupon is simple, and integrating it into your email campaign is even easier."
