Coupon valid for a specific day of the week

Dear All,

As usual, a lot of reading & searching before posting, so I hope I didn't miss the obvious...

I am looking at having a coupon valid every Tuesday.
In the Coupon admin, you can set a specific date or a range but there is no option for recurrence.
I looked at the Add ons, no luck there neither.

I could set up my coupon for next Tuesday and copy it 52 times, changing the date each time to the following Tuesday, so it would work until next year... but I hope there is a smarter way. :blink:
Update: Actually, I couldn't... I just noticed I cannot duplicate and use the same coupon code...
How could I do let's say a 50% off on the same selected items every Tuesday?

Any idea?

hi d,

am the developer of
automatic aftersales email campaigns
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_60&products_id=1661

this addon allows to automatically send emails to customers based on e.g dates.

am currently working on a module which dynamically generates individuell coupon codes with a dynamic valid date e.g. 7 days from sending date.

that will do what you are looking for.

edit: it could also be the same coupon code which is recurring valid for one day, depending on your business requirements

Hi Mailbeez,

That would be great **IF **my target was my customers list but those coupons are meant to be used by anyone, such as folks looking at our Facebook page, at an advertising in a magazine... therefore people I don't have an email address for.

Thank you for your time though.

If anyone has an idea for a recurrent coupon, hit me up!

hi d,

so you could set up coupon codes and have a small programm triggered by cronjobs automatically modifying the coupon validation dates - basically "switch them on and off" - in given intervalls. that would give you the recurrent coupon functionality.

that small programm could be a mailbeez "service module" which not necessarily needs to send out any email nor need to have any customers: e.g. there is a mailbeez service module for optimizing the DB - it doesnt send out only a report of the result

the mailbeez framework provides the features to keep the programm module nice and easy - just needs a cronjob to trigger it e.g. on a daily basis.

of course you could build that programm independendly but would need to build a couple of basic functions.

Actually I found **THE **perfect solution: "That software guy".
His Add ons called "Big Chooser" offers a lot of options for discounts that I was looking for and the timing/recurrence is included in his software.
Combined with his "Discount Preview" and "Auto Add", I solved all my discounts projects in about 30 minutes. :bigups:

Problem solved! :clap:

Thanks Folks!
Have a great holiday
