Fair enough. I notice that the decision as to order status is made under Admin > GV Coupons > Default Order Status For Zero Balance Orders. Perhaps there is a way to have a default module for zero balance orders as well.
I will ask the gurus elsewhere on this forum if they know the answer and if I find out anything, I'll link back to it here.
Thank you for your help with your plugin,

Newsletter Discount 1.3 is now available in the download area with a fix to the problem reported by Alex. This only affects people who are as generous as he is :) offering 100% discounts and payment by PayPal IPN.
I just installed this module for a client of mine and we're running into an issue. When we setup the Newsletter Discount module to give discounts to Zen Cart newsletter subscribers, the module works great! However, if we change the module to give discounts to MailChimp subscribers the module doesn't recognize us as subscribers and we see no discount.
The user/pass for MailChimp is set up properly, what do you think is causing the error?
Have you checked your lists in MailChimp to ensure that the corresponding email addresses are in fact subscribers?
swguy, yes they are all subscribers. Do we need to install your MailChimp sidebox module for it to work? At this point we have pasted a MailChimp sign-up form on it's own page on our site.
The Newsletter Discount module contains an older version of the MailChimp API; if you are using MailChimp your discounts are not working, please download the new MCAPI.class.php file from the MailChimp downloads page. You want the PHP 4/5 API wrapper. Install the file in includes/classes/MCAPI.class.php.
The MailChimp downloads page is at
http://www.mailchimp.com/api/downloads/
A future version of this contribution will include an updated API. If you are running MC360, you already have an updated API.

Hello Software Guy,
I have been racking my brain on this and can't figure it out. I have the module installed and it's great. The problem i'm having is that it is giving the newsletter discount to everyone, even non-subscribed customers. Any ideas?
First I want to say this newsletter discount mod is great! I've also implemented the SMS On Sale mod and it has come in very handy for my merchant client as well. However, I'm having an intermittent issue w/Newsletter Discount. Every so often an order comes through where the discount % amount is ADDED instead of subtracted from the order subtotal. It just happened on the last order that came through my client's cart. I have not been able to reproduce the problem when sending test orders. This is something that just out of the blue occurs every few orders. All I did was upload the mod and set a 10% discount in the admin panel. What's going on?
UPDATE: We just discovered that the discount is ADDED when the order changes status from "Pending" to "Processing" - I'm depending on an employee that does data entry and handles the orders to report back to me whenever there are issues, and she just noticed that today when manually fixing one of these orders. So I changed the status of a test order I entered and lo and behold the discount was no longer subtracted but ADDED to my subtotal. How can we resolve this?
I'll take a look at it.
