Coupons aren't working for me

[techy]

Hi,

I am developing a Zen Cart site which is still in the testing stage. I am trying to get the discount coupons to work, but when I enter the redemption code at checkout I get the message:

This coupon code is not valid for any product currently in your cart

The coupon settings in the admin area are:

Coupon Name :: £10 coupon
Coupon Amount :: £10.00
Start Date :: 01/01/2008
End Date :: 01/01/2018
Uses per Coupon :: 1
Uses per Customer :: 1
Valid Product List :: --none--
Valid Categories List :: --none--
Date Created :: 09/04/2008
Date Modified :: 09/04/2008

Coupon Zone Restriction: :: 0

Any help is appreciated

That coupon is setup for 1 person for 1 use ... has it been used once to test it?

Plus what I discoverd is that you cannot make the coupon free shipping if you use percentage.

Thanks

The coupon has been setup for one use by one customer but I haven't been able to get it to work yet. I get the error message every time.

Also, I am not using any percentage discount.

I've read the other posts on this forum regarding similar problems, but as yet I cannot discover what the problem may be.

Thanks for all the advice, hopefully you'll be able to find the solution

Have you restricted its use to a particular product or category?

What does the STATUS read for the Coupon?

Do you see the Y or the N under the STATUS ...

Have you restricted its use to a particular product or category?

How would I go about restricting a coupon to a certain category?
