In this guide, we'll address this issue and provide you with a solution to ensure your coupon management remains seamless.

Understanding the Problem

WooCommerce has a built-in expiration feature for coupons. Usually, coupons are removed from visibility when they expire.

Why Delete Coupons 30 Days Post-Expiration?
