    Default Discount Price per item with Free Shipping with Coupon Code?

    I need to set up a discounted price on a per item basis with free shipping, if a coupon code is used.

    For example:

    The regular price of Item-A is $199.95, plus shipping.

    If a customer has a Coupon Code, then I want Item-A to show as $190.95, with Free Shipping.

    The regular price of Item-B is $89.95, plus shipping.

    If a customer has a Coupon Code, then Item-A will be $75.95, with Free Shipping.

    Is there some way to set this up in this manner? I'm thinking that one way to do it would be to have a section for each product where a 'regular price' would be entered and a 'coupon code' price could be entered. Along with this, a checkbox could be used to 'flag' this product as being 'free shipping' if the coupon code as used, too. It appears that this would take some custom programming, which I'm really not capable of doing (I've done a lot of programming, but non using PHP).

    Is there any other way of accomplishing what I need?

    I thought of another way to do this, but I think this would still take some customizing of the code:

    Use Specials, but only apply a Special to a product if a Coupon Code is entered.

    Any thoughts on this idea?

    Default Re: Discount Price per item with Free Shipping with Coupon Code?

    I've been thinking about this more and here's what I've come up with:

    I can use the existing Discount Coupon admin to create a coupon. If I want to charge for shipping, then I can set the Coupon Amount to $0.00. This will create a 'blank' coupon - it's basically only used to create a Coupon Code in the 'system'. If I want to provide Free Shipping, then checking the Free Shipping box will take care of this.

    Now, I need a custom Specials 'module'. This would have a new field for a Discount Coupon Code. If this field is blank, then the Special Price is not used. However, if this field has the Coupon Code in it (created previouly in the Discount Coupon Admin), then that Special Price will be used for the selected product, if that Coupon Code is entered in an order.

    Does this sound like it will work?

    Can someone help me with creating the modified Specials 'module' (I'm willing to pay someone for this help - but free would be nice too ).

    At this time, Discount Coupons are for 1 of the 3 choices, but not in combination with one another:

    1 Discount Precentage

    2 Discount Amount

    3 Free Shipping

    You would need custom coding to make a combination of a Discount Percentage/Amount *and* Free Shipping on the same Discount Coupon ...

    Default Re: Discount Price per item with Free Shipping with Coupon Code?

    Problem is, I've done a lot of programming, but not using PHP. I'm not familiar enough with the syntax to do what I need done. I can likely write out the 'flow' of what I need (and could write the code, if it was in a language that I'm familiar with).

    Is anyone interested in a little project to help me with this (obviously, I'll pay for someone's help)?

    I have a similar need, but simpler:

    Product-specific discount coupons, with a field on the product page to enter the coupon code.

    I'm doing some rather absurd workaround writing and pricing contortions on my print ads to make what I want to do fit within the current Zencart limits--discount codes for whole orders only.

    Oh and I'm wanting to combine coupon with quantity discount:

    Enter the coupon code, save 30%. Buy two or more, save $10 each.

    Keeping it simple, it's always free shipping.

    Did any one manage to do this?

    It is necessary on a coupon I require.
    Also Can you only enable one coupon at a time? Because you could get around this by having two coupons otherwise....
