Discount Coupon Configuration Errors

[RixStix]

It's probably a short circuit between my ears but I don't ever remember having so much trouble with discount coupons.

Coupon Admin: Insert:
Coupon name
Description
Amount $2.20
Coupon Minimum Order $100.00
Coupon code INTL100
Start today
Stop next year
Coupon zone restriction International

Restrictions
Category ALLOW ALL
Product restrictions untouched

Enter code during checkout
YELLOW message
You must spend at least $100(USD) to redeem this coupon

Order subtotal $373.82
Qty discount $14.20
USPS First Class Package International 23.40
Total 383.02

Same error if I edit the quantities so that the QTY discount disappears.

Edit coupon
Change Coupon Minimum Order to $0.0
Error changes from Yellow to RED
This coupon code is not valid for any product currently in your cart. intl100

Ideas ??

How did you set up the zones " international". Which country was your test user in?

For category and product restrictions did you edit the? Mine both say " top " and "allow".

It's been 6 years and several version updates since setup. Test account is setup for UK

First pass, nothing edited for restrictions since there are no restrictions to category or product. I manually entered category top/allow.

Try it again when you get a chance. I bet the error changes from yellow to red. Just added category top/allow so that instead of NONE restrictions, there are top/allow restrictions.
There is no obvious way to top/allow for products. Buttons do not appear until you select specific products.

Unless you have restrictions, in the restrictions delete the Categories Top Allow ... do this correct the problem?

No. Yellow The coupon code you entered is not valid for the address you have selected.

IIRC, coupon codes are not case sensitive but tried both ways.

Just remembered, last weekend when I was having PP problems due to fractions, I saw that PP appeared to be trying to calculate taxes on International and Federal zones. Thinking that might be an issue since the only taxable zone I have is State, I removed the International and USA zones and recreated them afterwards.

Possible brainfart? when I did that? I dunno. I do not remember having to manually select countries for the International zone, do I?

If you want to use a Zone you have to setup the Zone Definitions that are valid for it ...

I wanted to say that I was verifying areas that I had to guess at, I wanted to replicate on my store. With what you said, mine works. But I didn't edit the restrictions at all. I would check that area again first.

Me again. I just logged onto your site w and got "coupon not valid for the address you have selected" . I tried Australia.
