About this plugin
BePlus Discounts for Contact Form 7 helps you add coupon and discount support to Contact Form 7 forms without turning Contact Form 7 into a payment processor.

- AJAX coupon validation
- Server-side recalculation before submission completes

Before You Install
This plugin requires:
- WordPress
- Contact Form 7
- A Contact Form 7 form that includes amount-related fields
This plugin does not process payments by itself. It prepares a validated final amount so your payment addon can use it.
Usage
1. Configure Field Names
Open CF7 Discounts > Settings and confirm the field names you want to use.
Default field names:
- Coupon field: coupon_code
- Quantity field: qty
- Original amount field: amount
- Final amount field: final_amount
- Discount amount field: discount_amount
- Discount message field: discount_message
2. Create A Coupon
Open CF7 Discounts > Coupons and add a coupon with the settings you need, such as:
- Coupon code
- Fixed or percentage discount
- Active status
- Start date
- Expiry date
- Usage limit
- Minimum quantity
- Minimum total
3. Add The Fields To Your Contact Form 7 Form
Example form markup using the default field names:
[text coupon_code]
[number qty min:1 "1"]
[hidden amount "100"]
[hidden final_amount "100"]
[hidden discount_amount "0"]
[hidden discount_message ""]
[cf7_discount_apply "Apply Discount"]
[submit "Pay Now"]
If your form does not use quantity-based coupon rules, you can omit the quantity field.
4. Connect Your Payment Addon
If you use a payment addon, point it to the final amount field, not the original amount field.
The plugin recalculates the final amount on the server before Contact Form 7 completes submission, which helps prevent tampering.
