How do I disable coupons in WooCommerce?

Disabling the use of coupon codes in WooCommerce is very simple. Go to WooCommerce -> Settings -> General – > scroll to the section Enable coupons and uncheck “Enable the use of coupon codes”.

Unchecking “Enable the use of coupon codes” will disable completely the use of coupon codes in your WooCommerce store. The “Coupons” menu in the admin pannel will dissapear and you won’t be able to generate coupon codes. Also the fields to apply coupon code in Cart and Checkout pages will be gone as well. Your customer will no longer be able to use their coupon codes when placing their order. If you are using custom links to apply coupon code to WooCommerce cart via url – this will not work as well.

	}

	return $enabled;
}
