Hi - How do people typically apply a mailing list discount in WooCommerce? A customer would sign up to our mailing list via an embedded form and go into a list/segment. Then somehow we would use this data to apply a discount at checkout ...hoping that might be a plugin that can achieve this.
Thanks

WooCommerce cannot natively reference Klaviyo lists or segments at checkout. Because of that, there is no direct plugin that will automatically apply a discount purely based on Klaviyo list or segment membership.
How this is typically handled in production setups:
Recommended approach. Discount codes delivered via Klaviyo
The industry standard approach is to issue a coupon code after signup rather than auto applying one at checkout. The flow usually looks like this:
Customer signs up via a Klaviyo embedded or popup form
They are added to a list or segment
Klaviyo sends an email or onsite message with a WooCommerce coupon code, either static or unique
Customer applies the code at checkout
This method is reliable, easy to track, and avoids abuse. It is also fully supported by both Klaviyo and WooCommerce with no custom development required.
Auto apply discounts. Possible but requires custom development
If you want the discount to auto apply without a code, this requires custom logic rather than a simple plugin. The typical implementation involves:
Setting a cookie or URL parameter when the Klaviyo form is submitted
Using WooCommerce hooks to detect that flag at checkout
Programmatically applying a coupon when conditions are met
This can work, but it introduces complexity around session handling, expiry, edge cases, and potential misuse. For that reason, most teams avoid this unless there is a strong UX reason.
Plugin based rule engines
Some advanced WooCommerce discount plugins allow auto apply rules based on user role, login status, or URL parameters. These still cannot read Klaviyo segments directly, but they can be combined with cookies or landing page parameters as a bridge.
Best practice recommendation
For mailing list incentives, sending a discount code via Klaviyo remains the cleanest, safest, and most scalable approach. It aligns with platform capabilities, keeps checkout logic simple, and gives you full visibility into performance and redemption.
If you need true auto applied discounts tied to customer state, that is best treated as a custom development task rather than a configuration change.
