How to Set Up a Happy Hours Discount

A Happy Hours discount allows you to automate promotional campaigns that are only active during specific times of the day and specific days of the week.

This is an excellent strategy to boost sales during traditionally slow periods (e.g., 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM on weekdays). With YeeDiscounts, you can rely on Advanced Conditions so you never have to manually toggle the discount on and off.

1. Create a New Rule

1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard.
2. Navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Dynamic Discounts.
3. Click on the Add New Rule button.
4. Enter a Rule Name (e.g., "Weekday Happy Hour - 20% Off").

2. Configure the Discount

Set up the basic discount value that will apply during the Happy Hours:

• Discount Type: Select the type of discount you want to offer. Typically, you will use Simple Discount (Product Adjustment).
• Adjustment Type: Select Percentage Discount or Fixed Discount.
• Value: Set the numeric value (e.g., 20).

3. Set Up the Time Conditions (The Magic)

This is the core of the Happy Hours setup. Scroll down to the Advanced Conditions section to restrict the discount to specific hours and days.

1. Add Time Range Condition:
   • Click Add Condition.
   • Select Time range from the condition dropdown list.
   • Set the Start Time and End Time (e.g., 14:00 to 17:00 for 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM).
2. Add Days of the Week Condition:
   • Click Add Condition within the same group (this creates an AND logic relationship).
   • Select Days of the week.
   • Choose the specific days the Happy Hours should be active (e.g., Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday).

4. Add Frontend Notifications

To maximize the impact of your Happy Hours, ensure customers know about it.

• Go to the Frontend Features tab within your rule settings.
• Enable the Discount Bar or Custom Sale Badge.
• Enter a custom promotional message like: "Happy Hour! Enjoy 20% off all drinks until 5 PM!"
