How to Move the Coupon Form on WooCommerce Cart and Checkout

To move the coupon form on WooCommerce cart and checkout, remove the default coupon prompt from its usual position and re-add it further down the checkout page — or remove it from the cart entirely — so customers focus on their order details before being tempted to pause and search for a discount code.

Why Coupon Placement Affects Conversion

• A prominent “have a coupon?” field can trigger customers to leave and search for a code, risking abandonment
• Moving it later in the flow lets customers commit to their order details first
• Large ecommerce sites commonly de-emphasize coupon entry for exactly this reason

Step 1: Remove the Coupon Form From the Cart Page

/** Disable coupons specifically on the Cart page, keep them active at Checkout */
add_filter( 'woocommerce_coupons_enabled', 'disable_coupon_form_on_cart_page_only' );

function disable_coupon_form_on_cart_page_only( $enabled ) {
    if ( is_cart() ) {
        return false;
    }
    return $enabled;
}

Step 2: Remove the Default Coupon Form From Checkout

add_action( 'wp', 'remove_default_checkout_coupon_form' );

function remove_default_checkout_coupon_form() {
    remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_checkout_form', 'woocommerce_checkout_coupon_form', 10 );
}

Step 3: Re-Add It Further Down the Checkout Page

add_action( 'woocommerce_review_order_before_submit', 'display_coupon_form_below_order_review' );

function display_coupon_form_below_order_review() {
    woocommerce_checkout_coupon_form();
}

This moves the “Have a coupon?” toggle from the very top of checkout down to just above the Place Order button, so customers see their itemized total before being prompted for a code.

Troubleshooting

The Coupon Form Disappears Entirely Instead of Moving

Confirm both the removal (Step 2) and re-addition (Step 3) snippets are active together — removing without re-adding will simply eliminate the coupon form rather than relocating it.

Coupon Field Duplicates in Two Places

This usually means the removal snippet isn’t running, often due to priority mismatch — the default hook uses priority 10, so your remove_action call must match that exact priority to succeed.
