Generating Alphanumeric Coupons: A Guide for Make.com Users

Have you ever wanted to generate alphanumeric coupons for your WooCommerce store, including special characters? If so, you're not alone. This is a common challenge for many Make.com users. But don't worry, there's a simple solution that you can implement using the functions and tools available on Make.com.

Step-by-Step Solution

Here's a simple way to generate coupon codes: convert unique id to Base 64. This will give you a 16-character code including uppercase (A-Z), lowercase (a-z), numbers (0-9), and the “+” and “/” symbols.

However, if you want to include all special characters, you can use a Repeater module (from Flow Control) and either Set Variables or Switch modules. This method will use more operations, but it will give you exactly what you want.

Alternatively, you can generate a 6-character string for your coupon by doing the following:

  1. Create an array from a string delimited by . like this using the split function : {{split(“A.B.C.D.E.F.G.H.I.J.K.L.M.N.O.P.Q.R.S.T.U.V.W.X.Y.Z.0.1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.!.@.#.$.%.^.&.*.”“”; “.”)}}
  2. Create six variables, getting a random number for the position of the array
  3. Put all array values in a single variable.

This method will consume only 3 operations and you can store the resulting coupon on a DB to avoid duplicates.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you're having trouble generating your coupon codes, make sure you're using the correct syntax for the split function and that you're correctly setting your variables. Also, remember to store your resulting coupon in a DB to avoid duplicates.

Conclusion

Generating alphanumeric coupons for your WooCommerce store, including special characters, doesn't have to be a headache. With the right tools and a little bit of know-how, you can easily create unique coupon codes for your customers. Remember, the key is to use the functions and tools available on Make.com to your advantage.
