Discount Coupon Guide?!

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.

Re: Discount Coupon Guide?!

The Discount Coupon itself appears in emails you send to customers ...

Customers can test their Discount Coupon Code from the link in the Information sidebox ...

And Discount Coupons are accepted during the checkout ...

If you want to make them and have them just display on your site as extras for your customers ... you might consider adding a new page via EZ-Pages ... assuming that you are Zen Cart v1.3.x ... and post the Discount Coupon codes there for the asking ...

Re: Discount Coupon Guide?!

Hi,

I don't want to offer discount coupons.
1. Is this an automatic feature when someone opens an account?
2. If so, how do I disable it?

Thank you

Re: Discount Coupon Guide?!

If you do not wish to use Discount Coupons ...

Check that you never set up any Discount Coupons ...

Admin ... Gift Certificate/Coupons ... Coupon Admin ...

If any are setup ... click delete to disable them ...

Go to the Admin ... Modules ... Order Totals ... Discount Coupon ... and remove it ...

Now Discount Coupons are not enabled for your shop but can be added at a later date should you wish to use them ...

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 ...

Re: Discount Coupon Guide?!

1 You made a Discount Coupon

2 You configured the settings for GV Coupons so that the Configuration ... GV Coupons:

New Signup Discount Coupon ID#
Select the coupon

Has this coupon selected

3 You create a new customer

4 The new customer gets an email

Is the Discount Coupon mentioned in the email?

What version Zen Cart are you using?

Re: Discount Coupon Guide?!

Thnak you for your help. It appears that my test coupon was not being received by my test email as the test email address will not accept "Spam" mail and all my emails from the admin site are being received as**Spam**.
I have made contact with the company who have sent up the site and by own email control and they are trying to sort out the problems.
I have now sent a test coupon to another address and everything works fine.
Thank you for your reply.:thumbsup:

Re: Discount Coupon Guide?!

Silly question----I want to set a special 10% off coupon, but I do NOT want the coupon to take 10% off of shipping.

Is there a way to set this up, or is this pretty much automatically set that way?

I want people to still pay full price for shipping as I just charge at cost.

Re: Discount Coupon Guide?!

Hello all. I am kind of a techno tard, but I am trying to learn more. I am hoping to add an area where a customer can input a code and receive a discount on only product, not shipping. If this is possible, can someone please give me a basic run down on how to implement this?

Re: Discount Coupon Guide?!

I have been looking over this stuff on and off for almost a week. I do not want it to go out in a email. I am hoping to be able to give people a code IRL, and that will allow them to save "x" amount when they visit the site and use the code. Am I missing something? Where can I tell Zen Cart what code I would lke it to use and how much it should be for?

Re: Discount Coupon Guide?!

Hi

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 ?

Thanks

Use a discount coupon instead of a gift voucher.

No limits.
