Apply coupon discount to more than one line item

Is it possible to have a coupon code applied to more than one item in the cart?

For example business sells cookies and offers multiple flavors in that packaging. A customer orders that product in 2 different flavors. Shopping cart shows Cookie - Vanilla 1 ordered and Cookie- Chocolate 1 ordered. Customer enters discount coupon code thinking each package will be discounted. However, the discount is only being applied to one of the items.

How can I get the coupon discount to be applied to both items?

Are Vanilla and Chocolate attributes of Cookie?

Yes they are

I also set this up as separate products and get the same results.

I figured it out. The only work around is to use percentages on the coupon instead of dollar amounts to get it to apply to all the items in cart.

Works the same for me. I'd be tempted to call that a bug.

I will have to check this out ... what are your settings on the Discount Coupon and the Restrictions that you have set up?

I have 1 Cookies with multiple Attributes, Example Color Red, Yellow and Green.

I add to cart:
1 x Cookies ($100.00) with Color Red ($10.00) $110.00
1 x Cookies with Color Green $110.00

I add a Discount Coupon for 10% off where Restrictions are:
Top DENY
Cookies ALLOW

I add another Product to the cart with a value of $75.00 to ensure only the Cookies get the discount and I have a Discount of $22.00 for the 10% of $220 worth of Cookies.

So far, I cannot reproduce the error.

Additional details might help to reproduce your error ... :lookaroun

Ajeh - it works fine when using percentage discounts. It does not apply the discount in the same manner if specific dollar amounts are used.

If you were to enter in 10.00 on that coupon it will only discount 10.00 regardless of the amount of items eligible for the discount in the shopping cart.

I neglected to give you additional details in my last reply:

I have restrictions set up so that only 2 items within one category are eligible for the discount. I have "denied" all other categories and all other products within the desired category. I have set up the product as one item with attributes and as separate items with identifying titles for flavor and received the same results using the dollar discount amount.

I see .. you want $15.00 x qty and not $15.00 per order if a Product qualifies ... is that correct?

If so, you are correct that is NOT how a dollar discount works on the Discount Coupon ... :lookaroun

Let me hunt through the code and see how hard it would be to change it to be $XX.XX off per quantity ... I have to give that some thought ... :cool:

Yes, that is correct.

I am not a programmer by any means, but I see how it is easier to get the system to work with the percentages instead of the manner I wish it would work.

It would also be nice if the system worked in reverse. Meaning, it would be better to have the ability to apply the coupon to a category or product instead of having it applied to all products and then setting all the restrictions.

I have a client with a small site but she really challenges me with her promotions and finding a way to make them work within the coupon system. :-)

Thank you all for your input and assistance!

Do you want this for ALL coupons with an amount or just for SOME coupons with an amount?

I'm thinking ALL. I'm trying to run this scenario through my mind to determine if there would be situation I would not want it applied to all ...

If I say SOME, are you suggesting it would be flexible in assigning it to work in that manner? If that is so, then make it so the client or site admin has the option based on the promotion they are running.

If you want it for ALL Discount Coupons with Amount, then it is an easier fix ... if you want it for SOME Discount Coupons with Amount then it is a lot of work ...

By doing for ALL it isn't going to effect the ability to set coupons for shipping or order totals, correct?

Can you expand on that thought? I am not quite following you there ...

When you set up a coupon you have the ability to choose if it is for shipping, or a discount off the total order, or a discount on product. I wanted to confirm it wouldn't effect the ability to set coupons for shipping or order totals.

When set for ALL it would only affect the Discount Coupons for Amount ...

Are you using the original ot_coupon.php for v1.5.1?

Yes, currently. The new site for this client will be using 1.5.4. We are in the process of upgrading her site.
