About this plugin
Codayman First Order Coupons for WooCommerce lets store owners create coupon codes that can only be redeemed by customers placing their very first order.
WooCommerce includes powerful coupon functionality, but it doesn’t provide a built-in way to restrict coupons exclusively to first-time customers. This plugin fills that gap with a lightweight, native WooCommerce solution that integrates directly into the existing coupon editor.
Simply edit any WooCommerce coupon, enable the First order coupon only option, and the plugin will automatically validate whether the customer has previously placed a qualifying order.
The validation works for both logged-in customers and guest checkouts, ensuring that first-order promotions are applied fairly without requiring additional configuration.
The plugin is lightweight, translation-ready, HPOS compatible, follows WordPress Coding Standards, and integrates seamlessly with WooCommerce.

How it works
Order statuses that don’t represent a completed or genuine purchase attempt (pending payment, failed, cancelled, and trashed) are ignored when checking a customer’s order history, so an abandoned or failed order will not block the customer from later using a first-order coupon. You can adjust which statuses are excluded with the focw_excluded_order_statuses filter.
