Discount Coupon Guide?!

[estore]

Hi

I have created a discount coupon called "summer specials" which I uploaded when I created the discount coupon in the admin. But when I email it to the customers the discount coupon that I uploaded does not appear in the email. The customer only gets the discount coupon code and other details but not the actual coupon ie the coupon image does not display. How can I do this? I appreciate your help.

After lots of hunting and not finding the answer, I'm hoping someone can tell me if I'm doing something wrong, or if what I want to do isn't possible.

Situation: We give away complementary tickets, and would like to do so by giving a coupon code so the recipient can pick which show they go to.

I've set up a coupon code with top level deny, a category allow, and several products in that category to deny (so the coupon can only be used against certain shows, not the sell-out shows).

In testing, I've found that:

Fixed value of $40 for four tickets: user could buy one ticket and a sweatshirt and the coupon would apply to both

Percentage value of 100%: coupon only applies to the specified product, but not limited to quantity of four.

Am I missing something, or is this something I need to code up?

Also, I see the SQL records in the coupons table for restrict_to_products and restrict_to_categories. Are these used, or reserved for future use?

Thanks

I need a basic guide on the implementation of Discount Coupons.

I've created a discount coupon through 'Coupon Admin' and Discount Coupon module is installed under Modules->Order Total. That done, i do not see that discount coupon anywhere in my cart.

Can anyone tell me how & where these discount coupons appear in the cart?! Or a link to some thread that already answers these questions. All help is much appreciated. Thank you.

A Discount Coupon would need to be redeemed on the checkout_payment page ...

To look at a Discount Coupon's setting, there is a link to the Discount Coupon page ... as of v1.3 ...

is there a limit to the number of coupons that can be created?

I'm wanting to offer a new sign up gift voucher, but I see this option is currently only by value amount - anyway this could be by offered by a percentage ?

Use a discount coupon instead of a gift voucher.

is there a limit to the number of coupons that can be created?

No limits.

I am using version 1.3.8a

I have never been able to create a coupon. The module is installed. But the top of that page appears to contain an error message and no option to edit or create.

I tried uninstalling the module and reinstalling. The problem has existed for a long time. We did several upgrades thinking it would go away but this particular items remains.

The "error" reads
1054 Unknown column 'coupon_zone_restriction' in 'field list'
in:
[select coupon_id, coupon_code, coupon_amount, coupon_type, coupon_start_date,coupon_expire_date,uses_per_user,uses_per_coupon,restrict_to_p roducts, restrict_to_categories, date_created,date_modified, coupon_active, coupon_zone_restriction from zen_coupons where coupon_active='Y' and coupon_type != 'G' limit 0, 5]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields

So that gives me the impression that at some point a coupon was attempted and failed but now there appears to be no way to fix it or move on to create a new one.

i have created a coupon code that discounts an order 100% for my clerks to use when someone places a special order at our brick and mortar store. since they will take payment through our POS, i don't want to have to process a credit card. i've tested the coupon in cc test mode, but wonder when i go live will a $0 transaction be processed through my credit card company? is there a way to not have to put in a cc# to process a 100% discount coupon?
