Checkout by Amazon - Can I also use Coupons?

I suspect there is no way to use my Zencart coupons with Amazon Checkout - right?
I managed to patch many other issues, and I'm trying to figure out how to even use their promotions, as the help links just go to Seller Central. But I did want to check if indeed Zencart coupons were a nogo with seller central. Are others maintaining coupons both at Zencart and at Amazon Seller Central?
Thanks

Dave

Maybe. Maybe not. Depends how they wrote the code, and whether they did it smart enough to deduct the coupons first before submitting to the Amazon payment system or not. And whether the Amazon system can actually handle the price difference.
I suppose you could study the code in the plugin to find out. Or you could ask Amazon directly, since they wrote the module for Zen Cart.

and be prepared for Amazon to point the finger back at this forum since they don't appear to support the module they wrote.. I'll see unicorns in my front yard before they actually support their module..
