For store and marketing teams who want a WooCommerce coupon changed safely by code by asking their AI assistant.

The problem
A coupon edit that kills the code by accident
Editing a WooCommerce coupon means finding it by code and making sure the change is valid. A usage limit below the times already used kills the coupon at once, and a new code breaks every email that carries the old one.
Without PopdockAI
- Search the coupon list for the code
- Edit limits and expiry by hand
- Set a limit below times used by mistake
- Rename it and break live emails
With PopdockAI
- The coupon is found, with close matches listed if needed
- Amounts, expiry and usage limits are validated
- A new code is checked as free, with a warning about broken links
- It updates once after you confirm, and never creates a coupon
The prompt
Use this prompt
Copy it into any AI tool connected to PopdockAI. Swap the values in braces for your own.
**Objective:** Apply the change `{changes}` to the coupon with code `{coupon-code}`.
**Step 1: Find the coupon**
Call `woocommerce-get-coupon` with `code` = `{coupon-code}`. If nothing matches, call it again with `code.contains` and list the close matches, then stop. Keep `coupon-id` and every current value.
**Step 2: Work out the change**
Map `{changes}` to the fields `woocommerce-update-coupon` accepts: `code`, `amount`, `discount-type`, `expiry-date`, `usage-limit`, `description`. If the change asks for anything else (minimum amount, usage limit per user, individual use, product restrictions), say that this tool cannot change it and stop.
Check:
* `percent` amounts must be above 0 and at most 100; other amounts above 0.
* `expiry-date` must be an ISO date in the future.
* `usage-limit` must be at least the current `times-used`, or the coupon stops working at once. Say so if it would.
* A new `code` must not exist: check with `woocommerce-get-coupon` (`code`).
**Step 3: Confirm**
Show a before and after table for the changed fields only, plus `times-used`. Wait for an explicit yes.
**Step 4: Update and verify**
Call `woocommerce-update-coupon` once with `coupon-id` and only the changed fields. Then call `woocommerce-get-coupon` with the (possibly new) `code` and report the stored values.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* The only write tool this prompt may call is `woocommerce-update-coupon`, once.
* Do not call any other write tool (`woocommerce-add-order`, `woocommerce-update-order`, `woocommerce-add-order-note`, `woocommerce-send-order-details`, `woocommerce-add-refund`, `woocommerce-add-customer`, `woocommerce-update-customer`, `woocommerce-add-product`, `woocommerce-update-product`, `woocommerce-update-product-variation`, `woocommerce-add-coupon`). Never create a new coupon when the code is not found.
* Changing the code breaks any link or email that already carries the old one. Say so when the code changes.
**Validation:**
* If `{changes}` is empty or unclear, ask what to change and stop.
* If the user's confirmation is anything other than a clear yes, stop without writing.Who it's for
One answer, three teams that use it
Ecommerce marketers
Extend a promotion safely
Push out an expiry or raise a limit, with the change checked before it goes live.
Extend coupon SUMMER15 to 15 September and raise the usage limit to 1000.
Store managers
Fix a coupon mistake
Correct an amount or discount type and see the before and after first.
Change coupon WELCOME10 to a 10 percent discount instead of a fixed amount.
Customer service agents
Check a coupon before changing it
Limits below times used are caught, so you do not disable a code customers are using.
Set the usage limit on coupon VIP25 to 50. How many times has it been used?
