Since we are on the same subject I'd like to ask this. Let's assume I offer FREE SHIPPING to customers who spend $79 and up on my site. Yet at no point I see the space to enter the code. The site is located at http://www.nikeguru.com

Thanks in advance

I have a question as well. I have had my store now for about a year and I have never noticed the pull down menu under coupon admin which allows you to view "inactive" coupons. I want to delete the inactive ones all together but when I choose that option it just deactivates them again.

For a specific example... I have a coupon code that i deleted a while back. The dates on it are still good and should be working if I had not deactivated it.

My questions are these:
1 - How do I completely delete this coupon code, whether active or inactive, so I can add a new one with the same code?
2 - If I want to reactivate this inactive coupon code, where and how is this achieved?(I do not see how to do this in the coupon admin).

Thank you.

How are you currently offering the Free Shipping for Orders >= $79.00 now?

Or, are you trying to make a Discount Coupon for this?

If a Discount Coupon, make sure that you have the Modules ... Order Totals ... Discount Coupon ot_coupon installed ...

Then you have to make a Discount Coupon before it will should on the Checkout on the checkout_payment page ...

To give Free Shipping, make a Discount Coupon and check the Free Shipping box ...

OK, another question then.... When I am viewing the inactive codes and I click on restrictions.... it says

Sorry, your security clearance does not allow you to access this resource.
Please contact your site administrator if you believe this to be incorrect.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

Do you know why this is? Is it because the code is dead and does not have restrictions anymore?

It would be nice to somehow be able to delete them. Maybe someday... Thank you for your quick response too.

No idea ... do you have an Add On for Admin levels or something on your site?

I installed a GC module a while back. i think it was called Gift Voucher Admin. But it deals with Gift certificates, not coupons as far as I know.

Go to your Zen Cart Admin to the Tools ... Developers Tool Kit ... and in the bottom input box enter:
security clearance

and select Catalog/Admin ... then click search ...

See if that helps identify where this is coming from ...
