+
+If you want to hide the coupon fields from the cart and checkout pages in WooCommerce, it’s possible by turning off a setting. There is no need for custom code or plugins.
+
+Follow these steps to turn off the coupon fields.
+
+1. From the WordPress dashboard, navigate to **WooCommerce → Settings** in the left sidebar.

+2. You’ll land on the General tab.
+3. Scroll down until you see “**Enable coupon fields**”.
+4. **Uncheck** the box labeled “**Enable the use of coupon codes**”.
+5. Click “**Save changes**” at the bottom.

+
+Customers will no longer see the coupon fields on the cart and checkout pages.
+
+## Turn off coupon field only on cart page, or only on checkout
+
+If you’re interested in how to turn off the coupon field for just the cart page, or just the checkout page, the above method won’t work since it turns it off completely. [Send me an email](mailto:john@getdashify.com) and let me know, and I’ll create a tutorial for this.
