    Default Is it possible to restrict a coupon to one product and..

    Zen Cart: 1.3.9f (upgrading this weekend)
    Addons: sales_report_2-3-0

    I am trying to setup a coupon that would allow me to give a $5 break on one specific item. For example, we are selling a membership for $35. We are going to announce via our iContact that we are offering a $5 break for that membership. I do not want the $5 to work for any other item AND if they order two memberships, they should get $10 off, three memberships would give them $15 off and so on. Is it possible to make the coupon module built into ZC work this way?

    I read through a few of the posts, a tutorial and wiki and I couldn't find the info I needed. The tutorial stated ...

    If you want to set up restrictions so the coupon applies to only to certain products or categories, click the Restrictions button to set them up. You can do this at a later date if you desire.
    Unfortunately, I could not find a way to setup this restriction. I see the option under the Coupon Admin, but the drop down only gives you the option for Florida. I am wanting to restrict it to just one product. I am sure I am just missing something... but I am just not getting it.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Kim Huff

    You can setup Discount Coupons to be either:

    1 Amount Off Order

    2 Percentage Off

    3 Free Shipping

    After the Discount Coupon is made, there will be a RESTRICTIONS button ...

    Set the Restrictions for:

    Category TOP Deny

    Product (Product Name) Allow

    Unfortunately, the Amount Off is Amount Off the Order, not per Product quantity ...

    The Percentage is off the Product Price ...

    Unfortunately, none of those will work for us. I have no way of stopping them from ordering things that I cannot discount and the amount we want to give them off needs to be no more than $5 per ticket.

    Thanks anyway.

    You could set a percentage discount on just the Products that you want to allow ...

    Then, only the Products marked as Allow on the Restrictions would have the discount ...

    But other than that, there is not a dollar off amount on a per product for the discount coupons ...

    Well, I'm sorry this won't work for the OP but it's perfect for me! Since there wasn't a way to set a coupon for single categories or products in the coupon creation screen I was sure it didn't exist. d'oh!

    Thanks Linda

    NOTE: there is an update out that can be tested for those wanting both:

    Amount Off and Free Shipping

    Percentage off and Free Shipping

    on the Discount Coupons that I just posted:
