[Done v1.5.4] You must spend at least US$0.00 to redeem this coupon

[AZStolman]

What are your settings on the Discount Coupon that you are getting this on and any restrictions that you have?

I am assuming you are using Zen Cart v1.5.1?

No restrictions set that I am aware of...will double check.

Yes, 1.5.1 - Thank you for such a prompt and helpful reply. Thanks also for making it easy to drop a thank you in the tip jar!

UPDATE on restrictions status - YES, I have DENY'd it for DOWNLOADS Categoryand ALLOW'd it for HARDCOPY BOOKS Category. Should I just have the $10 discount ALLOW'd and eliminate the DENY'd Category from the Restrictions?

I am not following you a 100% here ... what Categories do you have marked as ALLOW and what Categories marked as DENY?

Have you a link to your URL and some categories_id marked for ALLOW and some marked for DENY?

Do you have TOP set to DENY?

Hi Ajeh,

GOAL: Track referrals for items sold so referring doctor (if there is one) can receive a monthly remuneration.

QUICK BACKGROUND: I sell only 2 items in the cart at (http://healthy-again.com/hazcart/), a Hardcopy Book and the downloadable eBook version (PDF) of that hardcopy book. Purchase of either item includes a downloadable PDF form permitting licensed doctors to enjoy additional services (this is not a "for sale" item/product). The Hardcopy item also includes a link to the downloadable eBook (PDF). The Hardcopy item is in the "BOOKS (HARDCOPY)" Category and the two PDF items are in the "DOWNLOADS" Category. There are 2 discount/referral Coupons (AP15 & MG15) that are intended to permit a $10 discount for the Harcopy item ONLY but hopefully will be recorded somewhere in the sale for the eBook item so the referral can be tracked. (Not sure if this eBook referral recording will even work)

ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION: "DOWNLOADS" Category is set to DENY on both coupons (AP15 & MG15) while "BOOKS (HARDCOPY)" Category is st to ALLOW on both coupons. I am unable to answer your question "Do you have TOP set to DENY?" since I do not know how/where to check this.

Please advise if this is still unclear.
Many thanks.

When setting restrictions on a Discount Coupon, you will see Top in the drop down ... Just set that to DENY so you will now see it in the Category section ...

If you have a customer referred by Dr. X and they make purchases with their Discount Coupon DrX20150129 then later come back with a purchase and use a Discount Coupon from Dr. Z for Discount Coupon DrZ20150201, do you want to still just know about Dr. X or do you now also want to know about Dr. Z?

OK, I have added a Product Restriction for Category Name of TOP from the dropdown with DENY as the restriction.
My display for Discount Coupons Product/Category Restrictions now shows 3 entries:
with CATEGORY NAME / STATUS
Downloads / Deny
Books(Hardcopy)/ Allow
All Categories / Deny
Somehow this does NOT seem like what you wanted me to do.

To Answer Your Ques: Yes, I want to know if that same customer uses two different coupons.

I also need to know if that customer (or any customer) uses a coupon for the item (eBook) that does NOT permit the use of the coupon for a $10 discount. This is because I still need to track the referral. If this is possible but requires some in-depth manipulation to make it work, please let me know and I will then pay to have someone do it for me.

What you are really looking for is a customized method to check the Discount Coupons used that isn't really related to the referral code as that is a one time thing ...

You are needing something from the orders to show what Discount Coupon was used. I take it click on the REPORT for the Discount Coupon is not sufficient? If not, what specifically do you need in a report to make one useful to you?
