I am creating a coupon that is 40% off on a group of specific products. This is my coupon setting

Coupon Name: 40% Off Coupon
Coupon Description: 40% Off on select kits
Coupon Amount: 40%
Coupon Minimum Order: 0.0000
Free Shipping: No Free Shipping
Coupon Code: JR1Blog40off
Uses per Coupon:
Uses per Customer: 1
Start Date: 09/14/2006
End Date: 09/18/2006

I have two items listed on the PRODUCT RESTRICTIONS area both with ALLOW on. I do not have any category restrictions turned on.

When I use the coupon in the store it applies the 40% off to ANY product in the store not just the two I have placed the allow restriction for. If I put only one product in the cart that is NOT one of the two that I marked allowed, the coupon is STILL applying 40% off. However, if I deny a product then the coupon doesn't work on that particular product. It's just the allow that does not seem to be working correctly.

You used to be able to allow only certain products and the coupon would be applied to just those items. I'm sure that's the way this is supposed to work.

Also, I recently upgraded to verison 1.3.5. I did a full-set upgrade.

Not sure why this is no longer working.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Set a Deny All on the Top Category ...

Then set the Allow on the 2 Products ...

That should work fine now ...

[Ajeh]

NOTE: the logic was changed a bit to ensure proper allow/deny of multiple combinations without conflicts ...

This newer method will make setting Discount Coupons restrictions faster and easier to do ...

[libracorn]

Yes.. that worked. And yes, I don't recall having to set the top category to deny all before but it makes perfect sense that the logic was changed. Thank you!

[Ajeh]

You are most welcome ... thanks for the update that this did in fact fix your Discount Coupon restrictions ...

Bringing this thread back... have a related problem.

If I add more than two deny restrictions on a coupon, the coupon won't work.

Coupon Name :: SD-DST200
Coupon Amount :: $2.00
Start Date :: 09/25/2006
End Date :: 10/31/2006
Uses per Coupon :: Unlimited
Uses per Customer :: 1
Valid Product List :: Restrictions Apply
Valid Categories List :: Restrictions Apply
Date Created :: 09/25/2006
Date Modified :: 09/25/2006

I have tried

Category Restrictions - NONE
Product Restrictions - Deny for two different products

and I also tried

Category Restrictions - Apply All
Product Restrictions - Deny for two different products

Neither worked. However, if I only put ONE product in the product restrictions, the coupon works. And the product in the cart is not the restricted product... hadn't gotten that far in testing the coupon. Couldn't get it to work with a legit product.

Also with the one product restriction got results that seem wrong considering...

WORKED
Category Restrictions - NONE
Product Restrictions - Deny for one product

DID NOT WORK
Category Restrictions - Apply All
Product Restrictions - Deny for one product

Considering you said the coupon logic was changed to default to allow all, setting the category restriction to apply all, while redundant, should work.

[Ajeh]

Did you try the reverse ...

Allow All on the Categories and then Deny the two Products?

[libracorn]

That's what I said I did

and I also tried

Category Restrictions - Apply All
Product Restrictions - Deny for two different products

That's what should be the solution but it doesn't accept the coupon if there is more than one deny product restriction on.

[Ajeh]

Category Restrictions - Apply All (does this translate to Allow All?)

And then the Deny on the 2 Products?

[Ajeh]

I have done this both ways and both appear to work ...

Category Allow All
Product Deny Product 1
Product Deny Product 2

Or ...

Product Deny Product 1
Product Deny Product 2

And all Products can be used with Discount Coupon except the 2 Products ...
