So I made a newsletter in photoshop (with clickable hyperlinks).

I then exported my work to web (HTML and images). I created a newsletter and copied the .html code from the photoshop created file to the HTML code in my new newsletter.

Everything looks fine (http://www.rebeltech.co.za/newsletter1.html)

However, when I received the newsletter it looks like this



Here is the code:

I have an item that is running special, but also has discounts for volume. If the customer puts one item in cart the customer will get the special price. If the customer puts 2 items in cart it will qualify for 5% discount but will no longer receive the special price which is much lower.

I don't want to cut the price any lower with volume discounts by making it apply to special prices. I just want the lower of the two to appear.

So is my only option to go in and stop the volume discount during any specials? ]]> Creating Discounts/Coupons, Gift Certificates, Newsletters pixelpadre http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?207883-Specials-with-discounts Sale on Gift certificate http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?207831-Sale-on-Gift-certificate&goto=newpost Wed, 01 May 2013 03:25:06 GMT Hello!

I would like to offer discounts for my gift certificates (for example sell $10 Gift certificate for $9), however I understand that it is disabled in Zen Cart and I understand the logic why it works that way. However I still would like to offer discounts on certificates but disable the ability for customers to purchase certificates with gift certificates. Can somebody point me what should be edited to make it work?
