Coupon that applies to retail and not sale price?

[Jeff_Mash]

Hey guys and gals,

Let's say that I have a retail item that sells for $10.00, but that we always have it on sale for 5% off, or $9.95.

Is there a way to create a coupon that only takes x% off the RETAIL price, regardless of what the sale price is?

For example, if I want a special promotion that says, "From now until tomorrow, use this special coupon and save 10% off! Only applies to retail price and not sale price."

The short way around this is to create a coupon that only gives 5% off, and that way, combined with the 5% sale in existence, the customer would get 10% off.

However, we have many different sales and special pricing in our store, so that solution won't work. Do you know of anyway around this to where, regardless of the sale price, a coupon will work to only give a certain percentage off the retail price?

Not without rewriting the order total logic.

Besides, if you have 5% off as a special and take an additional 5% off, you make a few extra pennies...

retail $10.00
sale $ 9.50 (5% off)

with coupon $9.03
