1.1.4d - secret 'coupon' code for 2-for-1 special on one product?

Is this scenario possible (version 1.1.4d)? Having a 'secret' code that the user can enter to get the 2-for-1 special on a single product?

Example:

  1. Local radio station publicizes our event and mentions the 'secret' code.
  2. User comes to our store & item, orders one, and somewhere during checkout enters the secret code to receive two
  3. It would be a plus if the receipt indicates purchase quantity and ship quantity

If so, what's the best way to do it?

Thanks!

Discount Coupons could be used for this ...

NOTE: If you are using a v1.x version of Zen Cart ... you will find little support on a site that is that old ...

The current version is Zen Cart v1.3.7 ... :smile:

OK, I've turned on the Discount Coupons but can't tell what to do next.

The Coupon Admin area is available now but that just seems to list existing coupons. I don't know how to add a coupon. I see that gift certificates should be actual products, but I'm guessing that's not how coupons work.

Thanks for any pointers.

P.S. Yes i know it's an old version but I only need it for 5 more weeks.

Should be an insert button to make a new Discount Coupon but I have not looked at that code for literally years ... :blink:

Thanks for the reply, you've confirmed I'm looking in the right place... that in itself is the best help. What should be there (insert) is not, but this is a way.old.version so a moot point.

On to Plan B... enter the code in the order's Comment area and we'll handle it manually.
