I’m trying to set up a coupon code but can’t find where to do this? Just something simple like $10 off any purchase with coupon code ‘test’
I went through the manual and found the ‘promotions’ tab. But I don’t see any way to identify what the coupon code amount and actual code is.
I tried both cart promotions and catalog promotions (not really clear on what the difference is by the way. manual seems to say catalog promos do everything cart promos do and more. So why do you even need cart promos…)
Anyway, I think I’m missing a simple step. I tried to set up a catalog promo and have a condition where coupon = test
But that didn’t work and there was no way to tell cs-cart what the discount amount should be.
I looked all over for some sort of ‘coupon’ setup but can’t find it. Can someone please help. I’m sure this is simple… I’m just too dense to find it.
Catalog promotions only allow giving product discounts; cart promotions allow additional types of discounts and other promotions (e.g., free shipping or a gift).
You need to set up a cart promotion as follows:
Conditions
=========
Coupon code equal test
Bonuses
=========
Order discount by fixed amount 10

Thank you! I was missing the “bonuses” part. Seems like the ‘conditions’ part is the ‘if’ and ‘bonuses’ is the result. I get it now.
Also, looks like I can just always use cart promotions as it does everything catalog promos do.
I’m not really clear what ‘order discount by fixed amount 10’ varies from ‘order discount to fixed amount 10’ does but I can play around with it.
Thank you again. I was off on a wild goose chase looking for some sort of ‘coupon’ module.

It is the difference in something being discounted by $10 or something being discounted to $10.

Doh! It is so painfully obvious now. I was thinking the to was saying, create a discount that goes up to $10.
Thanks again.
