[Done v1.5.4] You must spend at least US$0.00 to redeem this coupon

[Ajeh]

When setting restrictions on a Discount Coupon, you will see Top in the drop down ... Just set that to DENY so you will now see it in the Category section ...

If you have a customer referred by Dr. X and they make purchases with their Discount Coupon DrX20150129 then later come back with a purchase and use a Discount Coupon from Dr. Z for Discount Coupon DrZ20150201, do you want to still just know about Dr. X or do you now also want to know about Dr. Z?

OK, I have added a Product Restriction for Category Name of TOP from the dropdown with DENY as the restriction.
My display for Discount Coupons Product/Category Restrictions now shows 3 entries:
with CATEGORY NAME / STATUS
Downloads / Deny
Books(Hardcopy)/ Allow
All Categories / Deny
Somehow this does NOT seem like what you wanted me to do.

To Answer Your Ques: Yes, I want to know if that same customer uses two different coupons.

I also need to know if that customer (or any customer) uses a coupon for the item (eBook) that does NOT permit the use of the coupon for a $10 discount. This is because I still need to track the referral. If this is possible but requires some in-depth manipulation to make it work, please let me know and I will then pay to have someone do it for me.

What you are really looking for is a customized method to check the Discount Coupons used that isn't really related to the referral code as that is a one time thing ...

You are needing something from the orders to show what Discount Coupon was used. I take it click on the REPORT for the Discount Coupon is not sufficient? If not, what specifically do you need in a report to make one useful to you?

There are two items related to this:

1) When someone enters either Discount/Referral code on checkout, they get the Warning Message: "You must spend at least $1.00 ..." I think I can McGiver this by changing the text to say "Referral Recorded - Note: The discount amount is valid only for the Hardcopy Book"
2) For the Download eBook item with the Discount/Referral/Coupon code entered: The report shows the sale but does not show the discount coupon ID# for that item. It is obviously not recorded since the coupon is set up as DENY for DOWNLOADS. I would like to somehow see that the person tried to use the code even though the dollar discount was not applied. Is this requirement sounding like a custom job?

Could you please PM me the Discount Coupon so that I can see this happening in your site, as it is not making sense that you have these settings and have updated things ...

I thought this had been fixed, but I am still getting the error. The coupon is only valid for clearance products, and has no minimum purchase amount. The customer puts non-clearance items in cart, and at checkout in bold yellow it says: “You must spend at least $0.00 to redeem this coupon.”

This only happens when the first shipping choice is made, which is automatically checked. If you pick a different shipping option such as parcel post, express, or ups, the correct reading of: “This coupon code is not valid for any product currently in your cart.”

If a customer puts valid coupon items (or mix of valid and non-valid coupon items) in the cart the discount is calculated correctly. The bold yellow (incorrect) message is very confusing to shoppers. Any idea why I am getting the error with the latest install?

Could you post the exact settings that you are using on the Discount Coupon and any restrictions that you have set then a click for click on what exact steps would need to be done to get this to happen?
