Can you make a coupon NOT valid for a specific country?

I looked around, but didn't really find how to do this, or if it's possible.

I want to make a coupon that is valid for most of the world, but not valid for a specific country such as Japan.

I'd appreciate any pointers on how to set this up. Thanks!

Re: Can you make a coupon NOT valid for a specific country?

You could make a Zone that includes everyone except that one country for the coupon ...

Re: Can you make a coupon NOT valid for a specific country?

Thanks for the reply. How does one do that? You're not saying to manually, one by one, add all 240 countries in the default database to a Zone Definition, are you? If I did one every 10 seconds, it would take about 40 minutes, assuming I hadn't gone crazy and shot myself in the head first. :wink:

Re: Can you make a coupon NOT valid for a specific country?

I managed to figure out how to export the country list from the database, remove Japan, and turn it into a list that I could then import into the zen_zones_to_geo_zone table. A large amount of work for something seemingly so simple. I'd suggest that feature for the wishlist: Ability to have a "negative" or "backwards" inclusion of a country in a zone, to prohibit a certain area from using a coupon (rather than having to manually include every single country except the one you want to exclude).

Re: Can you make a coupon NOT valid for a specific country?

Thanks for the update on the means in which you were able to build a Zone with everything except one country ... that is always very helpful to others to know how problems can be resolved ...

That would be a nice feature to write into the code and has been on the list of things to do for quite some time ... thanks for the suggestion ... :smile:
